The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM Calcutta) offers a Post Graduate Program for Executives in Visionary Leadership in Manufacturing (PGPEX-VLM). This program is designed to meet the current demand for leaders in the manufacturing industry who have a combination of technical and managerial skills and are able to navigate the challenges presented by businesses that rely heavily on information and aim to achieve the "Triple Bottom Line".

On the other hand, the Rajiv Gandhi Indian Institute of Management Shillong (IIM Shillong) has partnered with the Ocean University China (OUC) in Qingdao to offer a Post Graduate Program for Executives in Managing Business in India and China (PGPEx-MBIC). This program provides general management education in the context of emerging economies, focusing on the host countries of India and China, and aims to prepare leaders to conduct business in these economies uniquely.

Before trying to analyze the worth of the program, you must have clarity of what you would like to pursue.

PGPEx program of IIM Shillong majorly focuses on managing the business in India and China, which are the growing economies that would rule the world economy in the near future.
This institute has a program tied up with a Chinese institute (Ocean University China) and therefore you will definitely get the campus and multi-market exposure.

If your perspective and understanding do not get along these lines and if you are not interested in these core basics and the eastern market, there is no point in wasting your two years in this course.

On the other hand, if you are really into this area and understand the value embedded in this course, the PGPEx program of IIM Shillong is the one for you. The program is surely designed in a way to provide General Management education in the context of emerging economies and to uniquely prepare entrepreneurs to conduct business in such economies.
