How much are IIM Bangalore Executive Education Programs are valued in the job market?
IIM Bangalore's Executive Education Programs are highly valued in the job market. The main purpose of these programs is to help professionals upgrade their skills and knowledge in their respective fields. Professionals pursuing their courses are considered committed to their professions. These programs have great value in the areas of management and leadership, and help professionals advance their careers and increase their earning potential. Moreover, the reputation of IIM Bangalore as a leading institution in the field of management education also adds to the perceived value of its Executive Education Programs.
Here is how an IIMB Executive Education program helps you provide the best job opportunities
- Prestige: Executive Education programs are highly competitive and thus speak of your credibility and worth through your resume.
- Networking: An Executive program enables you to interact with accomplished professionals in your industry, both as classmates and course instructors or speakers.
- New skills: The Executive Development Program imports the skills necessary for better roles and responsibilities.
Lastly, I would like to comment that these Executive programs have certain eligibility criteria based on your managerial level, years of experience, and specific functional knowledge and it’s not justified to call them unscreened programs.
Why it is continuously hard for IIM A, B, C, XLRI to compete with ISB in executive program in spite of it being just 15 years old?
One of my friends at ISB claims that the main reason for ISB Hyderabad to hold the top position in the executive program over the years. It is its core competency rather than just competing with institutes like IIMs and XLRI, who lead in the 2-year MBA and PGDM programs.
The points below provide a brief overview of the success story of ISB Hyderabad.
- ISB Hyderabad has been developing with a work experience of above two years at least.
- Due to the shorter time span of the executive program, it is more popular and in demand.
- In the traditional MBA program, the curriculum is an extension to the undergraduate program, emphasizing mostly classroom learning.
- ISB Hyderabad has somewhat established a cheaper alternative to the so-called American MBA system.
- There are collaborations with companies like Kellogg’s, which helped in fulfilling the demand for a world-class MBA degree.
- They have a lot of contribution in its breaking into the Indian executive MBA program market.
- It has resulted in a program that is half-priced as the American MBA programs.
- The program in ISB is just 11 months, as opposed to the 24 months MBA program from other institutes.
- For fresh graduates, IIMs are always the first priority, which offers a standard 2-years MBA degree. The core competency of IIMs is to train the less experienced students. But, in the last few years, IIMs are getting into the executive programs in MBA, but those are treated under the non-core segment.
Although ISB charges twice as much as IIMs at present times, it has been the first choice for working professionals for the reasons stated above. The core competency of ISB discussed above makes it the clear winner in executive education, which the IIMs and XLRI cannot defeat.

Is it good to do Executive MBA from IIM Shillong being a mechanical engineer having 5 years of experience in manufacturing industry?
IIM Shillong is a decent option for an executive MBA. Having 5 years of experience will give you an edge. During IIM Shillong placement 2022, Manufacturing and Retail sectors offered around 19% of job offers.
However, institutes such as NITIE, Mumbai, or ISB Hyderabad will be better, for Manufacturing. NITIE Mumbai placements are excellent for Manufacturing. During the recent placement drive, the highest CTC offered from the manufacturing sector was INR 24 LPA.
How good is IIM Shillong's PGPEX programme and how good are its placements?
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.
