Having worked in Manufacturing as an Engineer for 2.5 years, Real Estate as an Operations Analyst for 1.5 years, and Data Scientist in IT firm working for Non-profit, Retail and CPG, and Pharma client for 5.5 years, I am planning to transition to either Product Management or Marketing post-MBA. Was a school level athlete and volunteered for 3 NGOs in the past decade. However, GMAT score is low.

Sorry about the Jim score. Long work experience with GMAT score is not a good recipe for a full-time program and it’s better suited for executive.

Thanks for the review bb.
Is an executive program very different from the regular ones in terms of curriculum and placement in India?
Do executive programs have any advantage over the regular 1 year programs?

I’m really not a good person to advise about business schools in India. My experience is mostly in the United States with some related to Europe but I’m pretty clueless when it comes to India admissions nuances.

In general, executive classes and programs are better and get a higher caliber of professors but these programs are also more expensive and usually not as focused on getting your job as much as making you a better leader. I don’t know if it’s different in India but in the US there’s not much on campus recruiting And it’s all about networking .
