Professionals working in a wide variety of business fields are constantly willing to evolve as a leader and manager at their workplace. Many of them seek additional courses of study to enhance their role in the company. They are keen to learn the art of management and related skills. However, with the tight schedule at work, many aspirants are dicey about whether they will be able to manage studies along with it. In view of this, many management education institutes such as Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) offer a variety of executive level programmes which are residential, full-time, or part-time Executive MBA from IIM that are highly beneficial to develop one’s knowledge and to advance their skills for achieving top management positions at various corporate houses.

What is an Executive MBA?                          

Executive MBA from IIM or the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) is a programme designed for professionals who have at least 4-5 years of work experience and are further willing to enrich their ability and expertise for developing and integrating new business ideas. This type of MBA is mostly preferred by the people, who don’t want to take break from their job.

Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) offer short-term and part-time executive courses in management but these short-term programmes are not equivalent to the EMBA. However, only the diploma level programmes are considered equivalent to an EMBA. The Executive MBA programs of IIMs are well recognised & beneficial for working professionals. While enrolled for an EMBA, the candidates can implement and put into practice what they learn in the classroom.

The Executive MBA from IIM is both residential & non-residential. The residential programmes are costly as compared to the non-residential, which are of part-time, weekend or distance learning nature.
