I am doing BBA from Alliance University, Bangalore. After BBA, can I opt for an executive MBA program? What is duration of this program and what is the scope of doing this program? Please give me a detailed review on this program.

Executive MBA or EMBA is a program basically designed to train executives to deal with the evolving business needs of the current time and handling the emerging issues with a good theoretical as well as practical approach. It prepares corporate with a great deal of experience with excellent cross-cultural skills and an awareness of the budding global business circumstances. If you have it in you to be ready to handle unforeseen challenges that might come up any time, then this program suits your interest and choice. There is greater job scope after EMBA from a prestigious institute, both in India and abroad. The tenure of this program varies from the different types of programs that are offered by different universities across India:

• One year Executive MBA course: This is quite a condensed program packed together for those with a busy schedule, adapted particularly for the outstandingly excellent management professionals who have a prospective for exceptional administrative capacity. It is a full-time course offered by some of the popular institutes in India like ISB, SP Jain, Great Lakes, etc.

• Two year Executive MBA program: You can take up this program right after BBA as you mentioned in your question. This course can be a full-time or a part-time MBA program, according to your preference.

• Correspondence Executive MBA program: This program is for those who do not prefer leaving their jobs to pursue a full-time MBA program. IGNOU is one of the best universities in India that offers this kind of EMBA programs.

• Online Executive MBA program: XLRI has initiated a 12 months consolidated program in Business Management. The program aims to make available a prospect to study and earn a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Management (PGCBM) while working. The program is being offered by XLRI in association with its technical partners of virtual classroom for distance learning.
