I believe MBA is more suitable for your or EMBA for that matter. But tagging experts to get their insights as well.

ARINGO Admissionado we could use some help.

yashikaaggarwal hi,
Shimri from ARINGO here
Generally speaking, there are three types of MBA programs:

    a. Full-Time MBAs - these are 2-year programs in the US, 1-1.5-year programs in Europe. The average age here is 28 and the average work experience is ~4-6 years (so Harvard MBA for example).
    b. Part-time programs: EMBA programs are designed for candidates who work during their degree (so LBS EMBA, MIT EMBA for example). some are designed for commuters
    c. Full time dedicated one-year programs for senior candidates: similar to "regular" MBAs but specific for senior candidates (so Stanford MSx, MIT Sloan Fellows, Foster GEMBA for example)

You can see my video on MBA Over 30 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg2yR6WupT4 to learn more about your options
Once you have done some research, and some soul searching, feel free to send me your CV, GRE, score, school wish list, and any other info to shimriw@ARINGO.com and I will try to help further
GOOD LUCK!

Hi gvikashnaidu your profile seems to more suited to Executive MBA programs. FT MBA might also be doable in certain programs, but you’ll definitely be on the higher end of work experience in the class.

gvikashnaidu:

I agree with my colleagues. For someone with 13+ years of experience, not only will you have a better shot at being admitted to an EMBA program but you will likely also find it to be more appropriate for your experience level.

Do you really want to be in school with people who only have as little as 2 years of work experience? Your business perspectives would be vastly different.

Also, do you want to be looking for jobs after graduation that are well beneath your tenure?

It just makes more sense even without knowing much else about your background.
