Hi Roni,
Today, the Indian market is flooded with a slew of financial products and services from loans to stock to government schemes to mutual funds, all claiming to help you grow your money. This is a double edged sword, the consumer has choices but choosing the best products can be an intimidating process.
This is where advisory services come in. Financial Planners who go by a variety of titles from Relationship Manager to Wealth Manager, Personal Portfolio Manager to Investment Advisor play the role of advising a client on the best Finance Management plan for him or her. You also have financial planners with their own practice. In both cases, being trustworthy and knowledgeable are important qualities for any Financial Planner because your client is trusting you with his life's savings.

Hi Tiwari,
Prospects wise and placement wise, both the courses- part time MBA and Executive MBA are almost same.
The difference is in duration of the course. In part time MBA, classes are usually held in the evening hours or in the weekends and holidays. Duration of the part time MBA program is usually of 3 years. While, executive MBA programs last for one years or less and designed for working managers and executives.
What really sets this program apart from many other MBA programs is the level of experience and insights that students bring to the program. In such programs student's professional experience and expertise becomes an integral part of the curriculum.
Courses offered are normally the same as those taught in traditional MBA programs– accounting, finance, statistics, management, marketing and information systems.

Hi Tiwari,
1. Employment / Length of Program:
Part-time programs are designed for working professionals, which means you will be able to continue your full-time work while attending class. Typically, students take one or two courses per quarter (or semester).
Full-time programs are designed for students who are fully committed to taking a larger course-load. They rarely afford students the opportunity to hold down a full-time job while a student. Students typically complete the program within 12 to 18 months.
2. Costs / Aid / Scholarships:
While tuition and fees will be similar across programs, part-time students pay only for the courses taken per term. While students are eligible to borrow through either federal or private loan programs, most are able to continue to pay for living expenses without further assistance. In addition, many companies offer some type of educational assistance that can help reduce costs over the long term.
Students pursing the full-time program will often borrow funds to cover not only tuition, but living expenses as well. Students have access to both federal and private loan programs. The vast majority of full-time students who finance their education through loans will graduate with a debt load greater than that of part-time students. Merit- or need-based scholarships are usually limited to full-time students.
3. Student Experience:
Most part-time programs offer amenities similar to those of full-time programs (clubs, social activities, and so forth). The issue for part-time students, however, is time. With employment, family, studying for class, and other commitments, it can be challenging to squeeze in time for extracurricular school activities.
Full-time students have the chance to immerse themselves in being students. Without constraints on time, many students broaden their experience through clubs and service organizations, as well as many different types of social activities.
