Jun 15,2011
Are you a busy professional? Did you ever think of doing a MBA to add value to your career but dawned down by the two year full time occupation? If the answer is yes, then probably a one year executive MBA will be a boon for your career trajectory.
The basic argument in case of an Executive MBA is that it provides the participants an opportunity to acquire all the contents of a two year MBA programme in a shorter span of time.
Many management gurus have doubted the efficacy of the two year MBA programme vis-à-vis the Executive programme but nevertheless the fag of doing a one year executive MNA has caught fast among several sections of corporate populace in India. This can be gauged from the fact that several reputed B-schools in India have started offering one year Executive MBA programmes.
A few notable among them are the ones offered by IIMA, IIMB, IIMC etc. In addition other prominent B-schools like SPJIMER, XLRI, MDI have also started offering one year Executive MBA programmes. There exists a great diversity in the various courses and the specializations offered by the various B-Schools. While XLRI offers programmes on general management, the thrust of SPJIMER is to hone the skills of people working in IT and manufacturing sector.

ISB FAQs
@Guest/neetu :The author of the post talks about PGPMAX program of ISB which is for senior Exec and not about PGP program (flagship program of ISB). It is the PGP program that requires GMAT score.
I am also talking about the PGPMAX program of ISB Hyderabad and if you have any doubt about the eligibility then you can check official website of ISB at these links
http://www.isb.edu/pgpmax/eligibility.shtml
in the above link kindly check this line "GMAT is not required but applicants are encouraged to submit GMAT scores if they have taken GMAT." Neither does the article say that it is compulsory
http://www.isb.edu/pgpmax/applicationprocedure.shtml
http://www.isb.edu/pgpmax/pgpmaxbrochure.pdf
They have not made it compulsory but if a candidate has GMAT score then he/she can submit.
