MBA/PGDM

Dear aspirant, Glad to meet you. Since many universities confer the same degree to both EMBA and MBA graduates, the two degrees will typically look the same on a resume and hold the same value on paper. One potential difference, however, is in the network students acquire during their programme. Because they are more condensed, EMBA programs tend to section their students into cohorts. As an EMBA student, you may be taking classes with the same group of people throughout the degree process. Full-time MBA programs have a bit more flexibility since there tends to be a wider range of class options and more room for customization. Additionally, because EMBA candidates are often looking to continue advancing in their established line of work, the career services offered to EMBA candidates may be different than those offered to MBA candidates. MBA candidates may participate in on campus career fairs or recruiting events that are geared toward people earlier in their career looking for new employment. EMBA candidates will more likely receive services such as executive coaching, offered by 83.3 percent of EMBA programs, geared toward later-stage career advancement.
