Should I pursue a 2-year MBA or a 1-year IIM certification course as a 39-year-old product manager in a public sector bank?

Sir,i am having experience of 13plus years in Sales-Marketing and Business Development Profile in Building Materials Industry. Please suggest as shall i go for Regular Executive MBA or Online 1year course running by IIMs.

Which is beneficial out of 1.Certficate programes by MBA colleges . 2 Distance MBA 3. Executive MBA 4. Regular MBA in India? Context: I have 12 year of experience in total in the IT sector. I am a solution architect earning around 50LPA CTC. I am exploring the options of doing an MBA and not sure which one is more suitable. I am in middle management and want to get into the senior leadership role. Objective: This MBA/certificate for me is a ladder to scale up. So I am looking only for top 5 management schools in India. Mostly from IIM's or ISB only. Expectation: Looking for alumni status Looking for network connections for better outreach for a job switch. Impression on Resume/profile to get a job in a higher designation. I am more concerned with designation although in the IT sector only. (Is impression is enough to scale up the ladder , with comm and tech skills. Not sure ) Constraints: I need remote education, and can't relocate to different cities. cant go beyond 6-8lakh fees. Options: Certificate Program (IIM, ISB, XLRI) Executive MBA(1 year)(Too expensive though) General MBA(2 year remote) From these options, which is the best alternative? and what is the difference between these? Does it hold any value on paper?

Hello Sir, I am 32 years of GEM candidate with academics of 74.6/84.2/73.5 and 75 months of work experience in the automobile industry (operations function - lean manufacturing implementation and competence development). I left my job in Nov 2020 to prepare for the civil service examination. I have invested 3 years but could not succeed. I want to make a comeback in the private sector but not in the operations function. I want to build my career in HRM and Organization Development function. For this I am considering 2 year PG courses offered by XLRI, TISS, MDI and some of the IIMs. However, some of my friends are suggesting I rather go for 1 year MBA programs from ISB/IIMs/XLRI. I have gone through the placement reports of those MBA programs and found very fewer roles offered in HRM domain. Moreover, there are chances that based on my profile and past experience, I may land up in the operations domain. In a confused state. What should I do? Should I go for a 2 year MBA or 1 year MBA?
