The course content or the syllabus of the Executive MBA is not very different from that of the two-year Regular MBA. The core subjects are the same, but the overall course content or the curriculum is designed in a more advanced manner which is suitable to cater to the knowledge needs of the Executives, who are at the mid-senior level of an organisational hierarchy.
