I'm debating over an MBA abroad and the IPL EMBA. What are the pros and cons?

1Answer

The choice that you make depends on your preferences post-MBA.

Take these factors into consideration:

Duration of the course: An MBA abroad would mean you may have to take a break from your work for two complete years, while IPL’s EMBA is designed such that you can continue in your current role.

Location of job: If you have plans to find a job abroad and eventually settle there, it may make sense for you to look for universities abroad offering MBA. The curriculum followed in an MBA abroad would broadly concentrate on the market trends there. But if you would like to continue working in India, and would like to climb the corporate ladder to take up leadership roles, then, without doubt, IPL’s EMBA will prepare you for that.

Especially with EMBA’s niche specializations in Product Leadership, Applied Data Science & Technology Management whose curriculum is based on the latest industry trends across the Indian market, you will be able to take on challenging roles in the Indian job market with elan.

Fee Structure: On an average, an MBA abroad will cost between INR 20-50 lakhs. The costs may considerably go up taking into consideration your living expenses and you may be forced to take up a part-time job parallelly to cover costs.

On the other hand, an EMBA would cost lesser. For the detailed fee structure for an EMBA, visit this page.
