You should be researching schools on your own, as the decision on target schools is a complex one that depends on your own interests/preferences and your competitiveness. But to get you started, I know that IE, SDA Bocconi, IMD, ESADE have one year offerings. In the US, you could look at schools like USC or Duke. Hope that helps.

Thanks Kate,

Can you please suggest me any other international B-schools with one year MBA programme suitable for my profile and career goals?

Hi paU1i,
Thanks for reaching out. We admittedly don't have as much experience with the PGP program you're looking at, but I'm happy to share my initial takeaways on your profile.

It sounds like you're on a good track with the GMAT, and I think a 710+ score will put you in a good position for that program. Sounds like you've had some interesting exposure to different work and responsibilities ahead of what's typical. Having three companies in three years (if I'm reading correctly) could be perceived negatively, as it could seem that you're switching too quickly / not committed. So make sure you explain your decisions / reasons for leaving (if some were startups, then that helps considering the frequency of turnover). Your extra experiences with the startup and family business are interesting too, and worth incorporating into your resume to show diversity of experiences.

Regarding your career goals, I would pick one or the other as your primary goal. Product management seems to align better with your prior experience, but you could probably make a case for either.

As far as other programs, I know many schools in Europe offer a similar Masters in Management, which is geared towards applicants with less experience.

Hope that helps!
Kate

Hi,

I am 26 year old female. I wish to apply to ISB hyderabad PGP program as it is the only one which accepts candidates below 5 years of experience.

Education: Bachelor's of Engineering from Mumbai University 7.6 GPA

10th : 89% state board
12th : 80% state board

GMAT : Haven't taken yet but mocks scores are 700,720,710

Job details : Total experience 3.4 years

2016-2017 : Software developer in a startup founded by ex-Edelweiss CTO. Though my designation was software developer I've done project management, client meetings and have led the team in developing critical banking project for one of the biggest bank in India

2017-2019: Worked as Business Analyst in Capital Markets and Broking Domain with Angel Broking. I worked on a trading product and looked after all its development planning and coordinated with the software developers to make the product live

2019-current : Working with IT services firm as Senior Business Analyst. I have initiated the project and its with the national depository in India. It will change how the educational documents are processed by all government and private firms in India.
You can consider it like Aadhaar for educational qualification. The product is still in development phase and will take time.

Certifications:

1) NISM depository Operations Certification
2) Certified Business Analyst

International Experience : None

Other experiences :

1) Cofounded a software development company while in college. I looked after the project management and assignment part to the freelance developers and make sure the projects are delivered properly and as per requirements given by clients. The startup was shut operations as my partner left for international opportunity.

2) Worked on family business which was a parcel kitchen restaurant. I looked after digital marketing.

----------------------

Post-MBA Goal: I want to get into product management role with product companies. I also have capital markets knowledge hence financial management role will also work for me.

Kindly review my profile and also suggest other one year MBA programs if I fit in them. I am trying to apply for third round or next year

Thanks
