I have done part time MBA from IIM Lucknow (WMP), Is it okay to apply for PGPX courses at IIM A/B/C?
No, I wouldn’t recommend you apply for a PGPX course at IIM A B or C if you have completed a part-time MBA from IIM Lucknow. The reason is the huge overlap of electives in almost all the programs offered at IIMs. Leaving a few courses most of which are repeated in all the programs be it part-time or full-time.
Towards the end of the course, you might end up spending a hefty fee and lots of time and yet not learning anything new. If anything you might just get placed at a better firm. But that too will be useless if you are unable to harness the acquired knowledge and skills in the open market. The question is if your job will be worth your year lost, your lost opportunities, and 25-30 lakhs of loan.
Still, if you want to pursue the course go for a top MBA course abroad. That might make a difference in your resume and job prospects.
How good is the Global Management program at XLRI Jamshedpur? What is the placement record?
XLRI's two-year full-time AICTE-approved Global MBA program is designed to meet the current business needs and demands of global business leaders. GMP program is focused on providing a rigorous academic curriculum, as well as opportunities for students to learn from three leading economies in the world - India, China, and the United States by allowing them to participate in live internships and college events in each of these countries, as well as a full-time summer internship and organize events in their own.
The program is taught by top professors drawn from the top colleges of each of the three countries. The course is also well-supported by the XL Alumni Network, which sees the program as providing tremendous opportunities in today's world. The batch of students in XLRI's Global MBA program sees a good mix of freshers as well as professionals with work experience.
The Global MBA course has been readily accepted by the industry, with all students getting placed after completion of the program. Quoting directly from the latest placement report: “The average salary saw an increase to INR 32.7 lakhs per annum from INR 30.7 lakhs per annum in 2022. Highest domestic offer at INR 78.2 lakhs per annum from the ITES sector. Highest international offer at INR 1.1 crore per annum for the HR domain.”
The benefits after completing the program are likely to outweigh the cost of tuition and other expenses. The benefits come from the learning, networking, exposure, branding, and skills developed in the program.
How is the Executive Advanced General Management Programme (1 year) at IIM Lucknow? What are the opportunities?
Rather than inquiring about the worth of a course, one should analyze whether the course is suitable for them or not. Your preference should be a priority not the worth of the course.
That being said, Executive MBA programs are suitable for
- professionals with considerable experience (+10 years) , who are also managing a large team
- people in the consulting industry
If you don’t belong to any of these 2 categories, then the course is of no real value for you. This is because this program is far sighted and focuses on managerial elements like Organization and Strategies. Unless you are a consultant or a top manager this knowledge will be of little use. So go for it once you belong to one of the two categories only.
Shall I go for PGDBM from NMIMS, or shall I go for PGCBM from XLRI, Jamshedpur? Please feel free to advice any other course, apart from these two related to EMBA. I have 5 plus years of experience.
XLRI has a strong reputation for Human Resource (HR) management and Industrial Relations (IR) studies. If an individual is specifically interested in HR/IR, then XLRI would be a better option compared to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies). However, if you are looking for a general management program, then NMIMS would be a better choice because of its excellent peer group and rigorous curriculum.
XLRI is still a good institute for other streams, but it is more specialized in HR and IR. Similarly, NMIMS is known for its general management program, and it may not have the same level of expertise as XLRI in HR/IR.
Which certification course is the best for project management, IIM Rohtak or Six Sigma Green Belt from Indian Statistical Institute?
Both the certification courses PMP and SSGB fall under the Operations domain yet are very different in reality.
PMP: This course facilitates handling and delivering projects efficiently and quickly. If you are interested in Project Management, the best option is the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification which is affiliated with Project Management Institute, PMI, USA. It
also provides PDUs.
SSBM: This course facilitates proper optimization of business processes, minimizing waste and time wastage. If you are interested in the Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB), then Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata is the best option available. Some even think ISI Pune is good yet I will recommend you to go for Kolkata itself.

Is it worth doing a postgraduate executive certification in general management from IIM Raipur?
When it comes to pursuing higher education, the choice of the program can greatly impact your career goals and objectives. A postgraduate executive certification in General Management from IIM Raipur is a great option that may align with your objectives. The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur is a premier management institute known for its excellent faculty, world-class infrastructure, and curriculum that is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of general management.
The executive certification program is specifically designed for working professionals who want to enhance their management skills and knowledge while continuing to work. The program is tailored to meet the needs of working professionals who want to take a step forward in their careers. The curriculum is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles as managers and leaders. The program is also designed to provide students with the opportunity to network with other professionals in their field, which can be beneficial for career advancement.
However, it is worth noting that the opinion of the speaker about Executive Certification, in general, may be different and may not hold a high opinion on it. It is important to conduct your own research and weigh the pros and cons of the program before making a decision.
Is a PGCBM from XLRI worth doing?
It depends on your expectations. Doing a PGCBM will certainly be a good addition to your resume. You will get to learn from some of the leading professionals in the field of management. You will also get the opportunity to network with XLRI alumni. You can benefit a lot if you have a start-up idea and want to learn the ropes of management.
But getting better job offers based on the certification can be difficult. A PGCBM is not as valuable as the flagship programs offered by XLRI, in terms of immediate improvement in career outcomes.
