IIM Executive MBA placements
Posted: Mar 21, 2019
Every year, many MBA applicants come to us and ask us about the MBA positions of IIM executives.
There is a general perception that full-time MBA programs in India are "Executive MBA Programs". They are not!
This confusion may be the result of the fact that two-year iim executive courses are very popular in India and you will find a wide range of universities offering MBA degrees to new graduates.
However, one-year full-time management programs for experienced professionals are much less and tend to be considered as executive MBA programs.
First, we will discover programs that belong to the Executive MBA category and those that do not belong to it.
The difference between a full-time MBA and an executive MBA
The Executive MBA (EMBA) aims to professionals who work and want to pursue their professional commitments with an MBA follow up. Time management is important when conducting an EMBA, because you will balance work life and MBA management.
For example, IIM Indore has a two-year program PGPMX (Graduate Management Diploma Program for Executives) with sessions in Mumbai on alternative weekends. The IIMB PGPEM (Business Graduate Program) offers two-year sessions with weekend sessions. (Since the article focuses on IIMs, we did not include other programs in the discussion).
The main purpose of those who choose is to master their managerial and leadership qualities, acquire new skills and gain new business views. Sessions are held over a specified period or a few days per month covering the entire duration of the program or on Fridays and weekends.
Remember that those people who take EMBA are still working. Therefore, there are no sites after completing the IIM Executive MBA program.

Returning to IIM’s full-time programs, the IIP’s leading PGP program continues for new students for two years, and students usually take this program upon completion of their university education. In the eyes of the international media, this is similar to MIM International (which does not require any practical experience). Some of these IIM programs are listed in the Financial Times (FT) labels for MIM programs.
The other program that only offers some IIMs is a one-year full-time management program for those who have already spent several years in the corporate world and have gained valuable practical experience. Below is a list of these programs.

All previous program names include the word "Executive". This is because these programs target experienced professionals, called "executives".
Therefore, you can say that these programs are addressed to executives; however, these are not Executive MBA programs. Confused!

These one-year programs are very intensive and require you to be on campus throughout the duration of the course. So you should take a mandatory break from your business. Some may take leave, while keeping the option of returning to the same employer open. Others may seek to change the role, industry or geography.
Some of these programs also fall into the FT International International MBA category.
And yes, these programs also provide sites!
