Where there is a will , there is a way

ISB , IIM-A ,IIM-B, IIM-C, IIM -Indore, XLRI , SPJain, Great Lakes are some the big names in the world of B schools in India. Most of the surveys have consistently ranked these schools among top B schools in India. These schools open door of unseen opportunities to their students. Many of us want to be into these B schools. Most of us know that cracking CAT is the only way out to get into these schools (except for ISB and Great lakes which accept GMAT scores ) .

It is not so any more , CAT is not the only way to into these schools. All of these schools have started Executive MBA's , these MBA's are normally of one year duration instead of normal two year programs . This Executive MBA is for people with atleast 5 years of work experience (except for ISB and Great lakes which entratain even people with atleast 3 year work experience also) . Executive MBA's are 1 year full time programs and are generally very aggressive, as they cover same amount of contents in 1 year as covered in two years. They have very good placement record and they also have the facility to accommodate family (in case of IIM - A , IIM -B and IIM -C ). One needs to take GMAT for admission into these schools and average GMAT score required is generally above 700 in most of these B schools. Most of the schools have, a good GMAT score , 5 year work experience and good academic record as basic admission requirement.

If we have a wish , a determination, to be into these B schools it is not too late for anybody. Every one has been given an opportunity to get into them. So if we have a decent academic record,a good 5 or more years of work experience , a zeal to be into ISB's and IIM's

go ahead and prepare for GMAT , score well , live your dream and have a great future.

I will give a list of B schools which provide 1 year full time Executive MBA's , I have prepared this list after doing lot of research using the respective institution's webpage. The amount mentioned is the total fee charged by these schools for the program , however with the salaries offered one can get back this amount in 2 year span after completion of this program. The amount also includes even family accommodation in case of IIM- A and IIM- B. This amount may also vary as I have written a rough estimate here. Please visit these institutions webpage for more details.
