Hi ,

I am intrested to join 1 yr exe-MBA. I have 3.5 yrs of exp and currently working for Wipro as a senior software Engg. Do you guys advice to join this program? My current package is around 4.5lak. How much i can expect and what kind of profile i can expect ? Do companies like IBM, etc come for placements? Is it worth to spend 9 lak for this program ?? Sorry guys i have thrown more questions ..Kindly give me a fair opinion. Since this decesion is going to decide my rest of my life ..

Regards,
Karthika

Hi Karthika,

Welcome to Ibs Rocks !

To start with i would suggest you to appear for GMAT and apply for international MBA colleges like NUS, ISB and Gr8 Lakes.Icfai 1 year Exectuive MBA is a relatively new entrant and thus would take some time to gain solid ground.

However you can be rest assured of good placement opportunities as ICFAI has built up strong brand within corporates and since this program has been specifically designed for aspirants with min 3 years of work ex.

Since you would be visiting the campus for the interview, ull get time to interact with the current batch(1st Batch) and you could get more first hand information and take an informed decison

So for now no harm in applying and giving it a shot. However your first preference should be better established Executive Programs like ISB and the kinds.

Hope this helps - and yes companies likes TCS,Infy,IBM do visit IBS Smile

SECONDLY, I GAVE THIS FOR 1 YEAR EXECUTIVE MBA PURELY ON INTEREST AND I WOULD LOVE TO OPERATE AND EXPLORE THIS FIELD ,COZ AS AN ALIEN TO THIS FIELD I ONLY HAVE THIS CURIOUSITY ABT THESE BIG NAMES LIKE IIMS , IBS,XLRI ETC. DO I STAND A CHANCE OF GETTIN SELECTED WITH THIS MISERABLE PERFORMANCE IN MATHS!?

Hi Swaroop,

First of let me congratulate u for aspiring for management education after a grilling doctorate education. tht certainly takes lot of passion !

IBSAT would be more of a formality for 1yr programme as its in its initial phaze, just started up last year. so u can definately start preparing for interviews to be held at hydbd Smile

however i doubt if IBS 1 yr course would actually be value addition for som1 with your profile. whats ur trade-off. i mean have u taken up a job or started private practise.

its not just about placements.....id recomend u try only for IIM/XLRI 1 yr courses or even better go for MBA abroad as it would actually be a value addition

still no harm in giving IBS a shot, go for the interview, get ur addmission letter and then decide

thank you for such a prompt reply.

yes, i do have my clinic. so you mean to say IBSAT executive prog is not meant for me or it wont help me so much? why?

do you think i even stand a chance considering my performance in test? well to tell you how naive i am to this field ... can you tell me what is 'micropresentation'! is it different from paper presentations that we do?

can you tell me abt the packages an executive mba gets? arbitrarily?
any tips on preparing for interview?

Hi Guys,
I would like to pitch in here...please let me know if you do/do not agree with me.

I have around 8 years of exp in HCL Tech and I was working as a associate Project Manager with salary of arnd 14 lac. But I resigned and if given a chance, I would definitely go for IBS Hyd - 1 yr course. The fees may be high but I came to know from the students studying there, that the curriculum and the faculty is excellent.

Coming to the placement part, I feel that even if you do not get a high starting pkg initially, you still have the edge becoz 1) u r an MBA 2)you are from a prestigious inst. Believe me, you can reach your dream salary and designation, sooner or little later, if you have the calibre to be there. If you do not have the skills, even IIMs cannot help you.

lot of gyaan, isnt it it.....India mein log muft ki salaah .........!!

Regards
Neeraj
