We have been hearing a lot about Executive MBA course offered by various colleges across India. Of course the best one is from IIMs or Xaviers. But then the question is not every one ends up in IIMs or actually can afford IIM’s EMBA and then there are many who cannot afford to take up a full time one year EMBA course sacrificing that one year income . There are many other questions one must answer before deciding if he is ready for an Executive MBA course?

Utkarsh – An Executive MBA Seminar was an attempt by SiliconIndia to bring the experts from corporate & educational institution together on a same platform to address these doubts. After listening to them I felt there are few points which we should consider and having clarity on those points are very important before deciding about EMBA. The points to be considered are:

• What is the motive of doing EMBA? Only a raise in your income or knowledge gain?
• Which EMBA course will help you in becoming an expert in your domain?
• Which format of EMBA will be more suitable for your condition Full Time or Weekend?
• If you are going for a Part time EMBA can you manage your work & study together?
• If you are going for a Full time EMBA can you sacrifice your one year income or in other words are you ready to bear the Opportunity cost?

Answering these questions help us a lot in understanding if we need Executive MBA and which possible option is more suitable.

SiliconIndia is coming again with next edition of Utkarsh in the month of September – October, but for our next edition we would like to welcome queries from your end. Please feel free to post your doubts & questions regarding executive MBA which you want to be addressed by Industry experts & Leading B-schools.
