Executive MBA

Hi Anil,
As far as my research is concerned, placements in SIMS are great and there are students yet to be placed as well. (I can't give information about how many are left but I believe most of them are placed)
The average salary I see people discussing is somewhere around 7LPA plus or minus 50K. SIMS had ICICI bank in campus and gave 5.4LPA as well (Not sure if this info is very much correct).
As far as salary is concerned, you can negotiate with HR person if you are coming with work experience, but do not expect much, let's say If the company is giving 6LPA to fresher and you ask for 9LPA, it's a NO (Few company say Up to 2 years work-ex is considered to be fresher e.g. Credit Suisse)
So, If you are wondering how good is SIMS, I believe you would have already made up your mind seeing the packages? But there's lot of opportunities if you get marketing as major specialization (e.g Startups in some new milk brand to ZoomCar). The alumni network is pretty decent and because of them, companies do visit in the campus for recruitment.
Faculty is decent i.e. some of the teachers are brilliant (especially visiting ones as they have lot of industry experience). Symbiosis name attracts good candidates as students, so class interactions are really good.
It would be of most value if you are doing it in parallel to your job. This will give you a chance to learn new things and apply those in everyday work. To enquire about more, here is the link to the college:

Feel free to raise more questions. Happy to help!
All the best.

Hi Tiwari,
Prospects wise and placement wise, both the courses- part time MBA and Executive MBA are almost same.
The difference is in duration of the course. In part time MBA, classes are usually held in the evening hours or in the weekends and holidays. Duration of the part time MBA program is usually of 3 years. While, executive MBA programs last for one years or less and designed for working managers and executives.
What really sets this program apart from many other MBA programs is the level of experience and insights that students bring to the program. In such programs student's professional experience and expertise becomes an integral part of the curriculum.
Courses offered are normally the same as those taught in traditional MBA programs– accounting, finance, statistics, management, marketing and information systems.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up if you found this useful.
