Q: What are the best one year full-time executive MBA courses in India? Can anyone who has done the IPMX course at IIM Lucknow share their experience?

There are mainly 3 MBA programs in India: Two Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with less than 2 years of experience One Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with 2-15 years of experience Part Time Program in Management- Aimed at working professionals Before we dwell on the best one-year full-time executive MBA courses in India, let’s understand what exactly a one year program is. The 1-year-program gained fame in India after the success of ISB in the early 2000s. IIMs and other institutes initiated the same and have been offering the 1-year program since late 2000s. This program mainly offers high-quality education for experienced professionals. Some best programs offered in India are ISB- PGP (Post Graduate Program) IIM Ahmedabad- PGPX (Post Graduate Program for Executives) IIM Bangalore- EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Program) IIM Kolkata- PGPeX (Post Graduate Program for Executives) IIM Lucknow- IPMX (International Program in Management for Executives) The admissions happen on the basis of GMAT, Essays, and Interviews. It is primarily meant for people with several years of experience but who want to upgrade their managerial skills. The best part is that the 1-year-program is equivalent to an MBA internationally. Infact, major international rankings such as Financial Times consider the 1-year program. So the 1-year program at the top B-Schools in India will give you a similar experience academically. As far as the IPMX course is concerned, it is not an Executive MBA.
