I would like to inform you on this note that the CareerGuide has always been and will be there to make awareness about the pros and cons of various ways to career path and it has guided successfully to help aspirants settle well in their dream career. Choosing the right institution from a plethora of management schools is indeed a herculean task and that's why exactly we are here for. These days the management institutions are mushrooming at a huge rate which makes difficult for anyone to decide which institution should be preferred. The Executive MBA course has become the most sought after course thanks to its importance in today’s fast-changing business world. Everyone who is ambitious enough and who is aspiring to evolve as a business leader has been pursuing the course for the various advantages, the course causes to have. Let us enlist some of the things which should be taken into consideration while deciding to join any management institute. The false publicity and propaganda in media by unworthy institutes may cause you bear the loss in terms of money and time.

Few things you should be careful about while choosing MBA Institute:

Genuinity of the course:

You should check from the authentic sources, if the course which the institution is going to offer, has been accredited or not by the competent accreditation agencies. There are accreditation agencies like

• AACSB - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
• AMBA - The Association of MBAs
• EQUIS - European Quality Improvement System

These above three major accreditation agencies accredit business schools which means the institution has been run according to the desired quality standards in terms of quality of education, faculty and other such necessary things. The government sanction is also necessary. In short, the institution must be a recognized one.

Reputation of the Institution:

The reputation of the Institution matters most. Job opportunities will always depend on how much reputation the institution has. You know the alumni of IIMs and ISB will get relatively higher and lucrative job opportunities than of any other institutions. Many other institutes than IIMs have come forth nowadays and are imparting quality education to students. Hence, it is necessary to know some of the facts about the institution.

Teaching faculty:

The most important part of any course is the teaching faculty of the institution for the concerned MBA course. The good tutors will always fetch you benefits. Especially for Executive MBA course, you must be taught by the able professors/tutors because the knowledge you get in the classroom is going to be implemented by you in your organization. So, the tutors with wider experience and knowledge will make you a competent leader to face the every obstacle in your business leadership journey.

International Immersion:

The Executive MBA courses will invariably have International Immersion as a part of the curriculum. The institution will have been providing minimum 2 to 3 weeks international modules at their tie-up institution’s campus. Such International Immersions help participants of the course to have a global insight of the business world. You come to what are the various business practices and work cultures globally. The institutions mention in their notification/brochure, such tie-up with the foreign institution and the International Immersion therein. Hence, we are required to verify such facts if they are really providing the same.

Campus of the Institution:

Yes, it’s indeed necessary to have a good campus. The good campus would substantially help to foster business culture. The good campus will always attract intellectuals from diverse fields which in turn will help to create a knowledge pool at its best. You gain a lot from good campuses.

Programme structure:

Just make sure if the programme which you are about enrolled in is as par your needs. Wisely choose the prograame, you are interested in. know in advance if the class schedule is suitable for you. For how much period the international immersion is going to be and other such facts you must know about before you step in for admission.
