    Dear degree courses are always valued than certificate courses so you must go for MBA instead of emba.

    I would recommend for MBA rather than EMBA because EMBA is just a certificate course, not a degree course where MBA is a degree programme. Second EMBA is beneficial for those who have minimum 5 years of experience.

    The Executive MBA programme is mostly suited for experienced professionals like you, usually Executive MBA graduates have 5-8 years of work experience. EMBA applicants are normally older and who already has a work experience in career. Where as MBA is for who are looking for immediate career change or who are looking for wider experience.

    Executive MBA will be like a taking an allopathic injection, better & visible results, comparatively more extensive and expensive with possible side effects on your personal life, whereas Part time MBA is like taking an ayurvedic medicine for the same ailment, The results are slightly less visible, cheaper, less extensive, safer BET. So it is all about what kind of relief you are looking for.

    Executive MBA will be a better choice as you get to study and work at the same time.

    Part-time is a good option because a lot of money and time required and you won't get the basic knowledge. So, go for the full-time course.

    Executive MBA is more focused and will work best if you have a career-oriented plan to excel in your existing field of work. Please visit NIBM Globals (National Institute of Business Management) official website for online MBA training and certification. NIBM Global offers online training and certification for one year MBA, two-year MBA and one-year EMBA.

    An executive MBA is a residential full-time fast-track program while a part-time MBA may be a part residential program. While both programs might be similar in content overall, the methodology of course delivery, rigour and training in an executive MBA is quite similar to that of a 2 year regular/mainstream program.
    While it is a matter of personal choice, one should not settle for either of the above courses from an institute of cadre below that of an IIM or equivalent institute of repute.

    Definitely, Executive MBA after gaining experience in the company, the EMBA is best for enhancement of skills rather than part-time MBA where you will only study in exams but job experience and EMBA is best for grasping the content from all sources.

    Full time MBA:-
    If you enter an MBA program as a Full time MBA student, you won't make much money for two to three years as you won't 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.

    For a working professional, executive MBA is a far better option though it will take 1 year, but post completion it would be adding value to you current qualification + it would give salary hike.

    Hi,
    For a working professional, executive MBA is a best option.
    1. A full time executive MBA in India prepares professionals for emerging global business circumstances and when you are already in that corporate world, it will enhance down your skills and give you a competitive respect.
    2. It provides them with a great deal of experience and excellent skills and exposure.
    3. It helps one handle emerging issues with a theoretic and practical approach.
