It depends on the firm you are working but executive MBA suits more to those who have more than 5years of experience and part time MBA suits who have less experience.

Executive MBA will be a better options as compared to part time MBA for working professionals as they have a very good chance to get a higher package and much better placements after an executive MBA rather than part time mba.

if Economics is an issue, then it makes sense to do a part-time MBA as you can support your family and in parallel complete your Masters. There are some excellent courses which help you progress your career

If you are sure that you will get paid leave for Study, then go in for Executive MBA. Other, do part-time, doing your job also.

I think executive MBA ( full time ) is more beneficial with respect to career growth. companies value a full time program more compare to part-time or weekend program. the part time might help if you are looking for a career change within the same organization.

Hello Ms. Neha,
I like the question that you ask. First of all let me give the basic idea of Ex-MBA/PGDM
The EMBA Program. The Executive MBA Program is designed for working professionals with good years of career experience.

I think their are some disadvantages of executive MBA:

3)Some Employers don't value Executive MBA

Part-time MBA is based on a process of learning and revitalizing the managerial concepts in a slow, leisurely manner, without disturbing the work schedule of the candidate. Moreover, one does not have to go for a study leave. The candidates attend classes on weekends. But, fact of the matter is that, when they attend classes after a gap of one week, a big portion of whatever they have learnt a week ago is not fresh in their minds. Moreover, some of the candidates have an idea of merely acquiring a degree for promotional purposes. So, the overall effect is a lack of seriousness in solidifying the concepts, and a lack of effort in linkin
