Page 2 - what is better for a working professional part time mba vs executive mba

Hi Neha, MBA and EMBA both are best if you do it from distance learning universities, I want to let you something regarding these two MBA Programs I want to tell you what is the difference between in these two and after that, you can decide that where to go. MBA is a degree programme where EMBA is just a certificate programme. Yes, EMBA looks it is an MBA programme but Executive MBA is not an MBA it is a certificate programme, not a degree programme. Whereas the MBA programme is a proper degree programme. MBA takes two years to finish but EMBA takes one year to finish you may know PGD course also takes one-year PGD is a Diploma course

Part time MBA is good if you haven't pursed management degree. And if once you have done it, then for additional qualification you can pursue executive MBA.

For the working professional Executive MBA is a good choice because this course is particularly designed for working professional only, also it will give weightage to their career as well.

Earning a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) is an important step in climbing the corporate ladder. Whether you seek a promotion at a financial firm or aim to become an entrepreneur with your own startup, an MBA can help you achieve those goals. Graduates from MBA programs typically earn higher salaries, and, as a result, the top business schools are highly competitive.
In general, there are two routes a prospective student can take when pursuing an MBA: a full-time or a part-time program. Although both options will lead to a degree, there are tradeoffs that should be taken into consideration when choosing between the two.

In general, there are two routes a prospective student can take when pursuing an MBA: a full-time or a part-time program. Although both options will lead to a degree, there are tradeoffs that should be taken into consideration when choosing between the two.
Full-time MBA
If you enter an MBA program as a full-time student, you won't make much money for two to three years as you wont be able to hold a full-time job while enrolled. Therefore, these programs are most popular with younger students who have recently obtained their bachelor's degree. Full-time MBA programs are structured for 23 to 30-year-olds who can afford to leave the workforce for a while. There is also the expectation that students will live on or near campus and regularly attend classes. The workload in a full-time MBA program is greater and the class schedule more demanding than in a part-time program.
Full-time students account for over 90 percent of all MBA scholarships and fellowships, so those seeking financial aid or reduced tuition will benefit from full-time enrollment. Additionally, a university's business school reputation depends on its ranking as a full-time MBA program, so more investment and selectivity is focused on full-time programs.
Part-time MBA
There are two main types of part-time MBA programs. The executive MBA (EMBA) is designed for students with years of work experience in executive or leadership roles typically, these students are between 32 and 42-years-old. EMBA programs focus on networking, and there is generally little interaction between EMBA and other MBA students. These programs are often smaller than full-time programs and carry a heftier sticker price, as employers are expected to foot some or all of the students tuition bill.
The other option is the part-time MBA, which is geared towards employees who work full-time and dont yet hold leadership positions. These students tend to be 24 to 35-years-old and take classes after work, either in the evenings or on weekends. Part-timers usually share the same faculty and can take many of the same courses as their full-time.

Executive MBA is much better I guess as you can sit for the campus placements. Part time MBA may get u a degree but it can't provide you an edge. I would suggest you to prepare well and go for executive MBA.

Part-timers usually share the same faculty and can take many of the same courses as their full-time counterparts. However, few scholarships are given to part-time students, so they must rely on personal savings, loans, and or employer sponsorship to pay for tuition. Part-time MBA programs are often seen as less competitive than full-time programs and can take longer than two or three years to complete. The main challenge for part-timers is balancing work and school, many times at the expense of social or family time. Business schools located in large cities withfinancial hubstend to attract part-time MBA candidates more easily, as school tends to be close in work. The Bottom Line
Receiving an MBA can help you advance your career and earn promotions or pay raises due to the level of achievement and knowledge such a degree confers. Deciding between a full-time or a part-time MBA programme is a matter of weighing the costs and benefits each option has to offer. Full-time MBAs are ideal for new graduates who can afford to delay working, but they can expect to land better paying and higher ranking jobs than those without an MBA. Working individuals who are eager to enhance their existing career path might choose a part-time MBA programme in order to remain employed while studying. For those in managerial or leadership roles, the executive MBA might be a more suitable part-time option.

If you want to switch from an engineer/programmer to a business facing function, its easier with the Full-time degree since you get more recruiting opportunities with top full-time programs. Its not possible with an executive programme, but you need to be very pro-active with the career department to find opportunities. If you want to advance in the company you are in or even in the department you are in, an Executive MBA from a top programme is a good choice.

If you have a work ex of more than 5 years then opt for executive MBA 'cause part time MBA has a duration of 3 years. The college timings for both will not be that different but the difference between their duration is 1 year. Both are good in terms of placements. And it also depends from where you are pursuing. So choose wisely.
