I would like to know the career prospects after completing the PGPBM program from IIM Trichy (Chennai campus) or similar courses other than the regular PGP course from IIMs like the EPGP, etc.?
The one-year MBA programs are full-time residential courses offered by various IIMs. These programs have a lot of credibilities. Some major shifts you will experience after completing this program are
- Your Management skills will have been upgraded
- You will be offered better placement opportunities ranging from mid to senior sector roles depending on your profile and past experience
- You will receive high package offers
The admission process is quite a task with great competition. Even after you join, you will be facing industry experts and talented people thereby increasing the competition.
Should I join IIM Lucknow for a PGP now offer in hand or wait and go for a one-year MBA program? My work experience is 45 months with decent academics.
If IIM Lucknow doesn't hire you for positions that are relevant to your experience in a 2-year program, it will be harder for you to land the desired positions (though there are exceptions).
The one-year MBA is designed for students with more than five years of experience and offers many benefits, including a balanced and diverse cohort from which you can learn from their past failures and successes. The placement scene for a 5-year-old male would be highly subjective (depending on your past experience, past brand name, etc.) People with less than six years of experience have been offered AVP positions in reputable MNCs. Therefore, it is dependent upon what you bring to the table.
Furthermore, because the 2-year course is 34/35 years old, industry acceptance is much higher than for the 1-year course, which is now in its 13th year.
Before making a decision, weigh your options and speak with as many alumni as possible.
What is an executive MBA from IIM Indore?
An Executive Post Graduation Program in Management (EPGP) is apparently constituted for working professionals who have a few years of work experience.
That being said, these programs are usually shorter than the 2 year MBA programs and it usually has minimum years of work experience eligibility criteria. Many a time, corporate firms ask their emerging managers to take these courses so that they can be considered for senior roles.
IIM Indore’s Executive Post Graduation Program in Management (EPGP) is a one-year residential program for professionals with experience.
Here are the eligibility criteria for applying.
- You should have secured 50% in your Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent disciplines.
- You should be able to show a valid GMAT score.
- You should have a minimum of 5 years of managerial or entrepreneurial or any relevant professional experience, as per your domain, following graduation.

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.
