    Full time Executive MBA from reputed Institutes is better option in comparison to part time MBA because you will have opportunity to have extensive interaction with faculty and better learning. Also you have good job opportunity if Institute offers campus placement.

    Executive MBA is an better option vs part time MBA because full time E-MBA will help you to get the knowledge in each and every field of management because there course covers everything and most of the MNCs prefer full time courses rather than part yime.

    Not only does it discuss the differences between part-time and EMBA, it also goes to discuss other important issues that aspirants like you need to consider in an MBA program. For instance, more deep questions, why MBA, success in an MBA program, etc.
    Good luck.

    Full time MBA is anytime a lot better than EMBA and Part time MBA. One should pursue Full time MBA only.
