Ques. How good is the EPGP course at IIM, Bangalore?

● Top Answer By Snigdha Roy on 29 Jul 21

Ans. The EPGP programoffered by IIM Bangalore was developed for a different audience. It is for students who want to apply directly for leadership roles in the industry. Also, sponsored candidates can also prefer the program. Well academically, it is also as demanding as PGP, with more detailed casework and discussions. There are exams and quizzes each month and the placement is rigorous for mid-level roles in the industry. The program leaves the studying to you so it's on you to build a takeaway for yourself. It is at par with 1-year full-time MBA programs in India, such as ISB, IIMA PGPX, and IIMC PGPEX. This is a short brief on the EPGP program of IIM Bangalore. Hope it gives you some clarity about the program.Read more

Ques. How good is IIM Shillong's PGPEX programme and how good are its placements?

● Top Answer By Rishabh Singh on 12 Feb 24

Ans. My brother received an interview call from IIM Shillong for their PGPEX program. This was a few years back. He wanted to join the course because he felt it would be beneficial for his corporate career. The teaching model at IIM Shillong focuses on developing Asian economies like China. The PGPEX is comparatively affordable at IIM Shillong, compared to other management schools. But the top management schools host international teachers as visiting faculty for their courses. Now here is the catch. The placements of IIM Shillong are entirely student driven. My brother reached out to a faculty member who was clear that the college offers its students a platform, but it can’t guarantee placements. During placements your entire profile will get you an offer, not just your ‘IIM Shillong’ tag. After careful consideration, my brother decided to not opt for PGPEX at IIM Shillong.Read more

Ques. How good is the PGPEx program at IIM Shillong?

● Top Answer By Harleen Sethi on 27 Jan 23

Ans. There is often a misunderstanding about placements at IIMs after course completion. It is important to understand that placements are entirely student-driven and depend on the individual's efforts and abilities. Many PGPEX programs at IIMs have a significant number of students from IT services, and these students may not be as diversified or knowledgeable about other industry segments. This can create a gap between the companies and the students and may result in a lower placement rate for some students. Unfortunately, many students who enroll in PGPEX programs do so based on their academic profiles or high scores on entrance exams, rather than their knowledge or experience in other industries. As a result, students who come from non-IT backgrounds may be more successful in securing placements due to their diverse understanding of general management. This is a common issue at all IIMs, and even IIM-L and IIM-I are taking steps to reduce these risks.Read more

Ques. Is MDI GURGAON a good option for an MBA executive program?

● Top Answer By Sagardeep on 07 Mar 23

Ans. MDI Gurgaon is a great choice for an executive MBA program and is at par with other top-tier schools like IIM A, B, C, L, IIFT, FMS, XLRI, and IIT Delhi DMS. The 3-year executive MBA program for working professionals is extremely good, with the same course and faculty as that of the full-time one-year executive MBA and two-year full-time residential MBA program. It's an excellent institute and is even better than some of the newer IIMs. However, it's important to note that the fees for the 3-year executive MBA program at MDI Gurgaon have increased enormously over the last few years and are almost 10 lakhs. If you're looking for other options, IIM Lucknow's Noida campus also offers a similar 3-year executive MBA program with fees of Rs 10 lakhs, and classes are held on weekends and weekdays. IIFT Delhi is another option that offers a similar 3-year executive MBA program with fees of Rs 6.5 lakhs and classes on weekends. IIT Delhi also offers a similar 3-year executive MBA program with fees of Rs 4.10 lakhs, with classes on weekdays. FMS Executive MBA has fees of Rs 1 lakh only. It's important to choose your education loan wisely, especially when considering the high fees for some of these programs. Make sure to do your research and compare the options before making a decision.Read more

Ques. Should I join IIM Indore's one-year MBA course (EPGP) or continue working, given the bad placement scenario for the course? Or should I try for better colleges in India?

● Top Answer By Nitesh Kumar on 02 Jan 23

Ans. The placement opportunities for an Executive MBA at IIM Indore or In fact any other IIM are very limited. They depend on the batch itself and may be good or bad depending on the current batch profile and expectations. Moreover, people don’t pursue EMBA to get placed in a high salary package. They already have a job with a high package. What they are looking for is an enhancement of their managerial skills and the IIM tag. So I will not recommend you leave your high-paying job and pursue EMBA especially if you are looking for a better CTC. Not even other B Schools will get you a high package right off the bat. But if you are still adamant about pursuing the program you may take a study leave I suggest. An MBA helps you in the long run and not instantly. You should be willing to take the risk for maximum results.Read more
