Hi Mayank, I already did MBA - 2005 batch (Amity) and have 18 years of experience including 10 years of experience in leadership roles. I want to ask- Does it add value to do an online specialised executive course like “ COO or CEO “ program from IIM or any such short term specialise course from INSEAD or any other globally reputed institute? Will this really add value to my profile. Do recruiters like you add weightage to such courses while hiring a leadership role / senior candidate ? If yes- What do you recommend- Going for a global business school program or going for IIM’s ?

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.

Is an online executive MBA from a reputed institute like the IIM worth your money? Is it better than a full-time MBA? What are the pros and cons to consider before applying for an MBA? Can you please elaborate?

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?
