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.
Psychology requires much more than just degrees and professional qualifications. Understanding human behavior, underlying psychology, age-related development, and distortions are important, as is understanding the behavior of those around you. Psychologists both influence and are influenced by their patients. A thorough understanding is required for effective therapy planning and implementation.
You can try as an Inclusion Facilitator at a regular school with a reputation for excellence. You will get to assist children with autism, and witness the significant transformation of their social behavior, academics, eating habits, and play behavior. You can try it if you have experience caring for children.
MA degrees are required for school psychologists.
Because special educators and shadow teachers are mostly hired by parents, their qualifications and other requirements are not stringent. Nonetheless, knowledge, skills, and experience are critical for making good therapeutic progress.

No. If you want proper exposure you should opt for MSW from a regular college. Only bookish knowledge is not enough for MSW. This is because when you work on some real business you fail to connect the dots and apply the knowledge practically.

I will answer your question by estimating the salary you will earn after completing MBA and comparing it with the loan you have to pay.
Loan Amount - 15 Lakhs.
Interest rate - 12%
Repayment period - 5 years
EMI - 33,367
Total Interest Paid in 5 years - 502000
Tax Saved in 5 years (considering 20% tax slab) - 100400
Net amount to be paid in 5 years - 1500000+502000–100400 = 19,01,600
Average package in TAPMI - 10.06 LPA
Monthly salary in hand - Approx 65 to 70K
From the above calculation we can infer that you will have 30000-40000 salary in hand every month which is more than enough for you to settle in any state or city in India. So taking loans for an MBA is very beneficial as it will pay you back in the long run.

Some tips that might help students starting their first year at AKTU are:
Choosing a quantum will get you good marks. But in the case of numerical subjects go for standard books.
During exams, revise the syllabus through quantum and solve the previous year’s questions.
In AKTU presentation matters more than content. So even if you don’t know an answer, you can get marks by writing whatever you know in a neat and presentable way. Using a different ink for headings will get you some brownie points.
Attend college regularly on your initial days. It will create a good impression.
Develop a good bond with faculty
Apart from these points don’t forget to make the most out of your college days.
