The one-year MBA programs are full-time residential courses offered by various IIMs. These programs have a lot of credibilities. Some major shifts you will experience after completing this program are
The admission process is quite a task with great competition. Even after you join, you will be facing industry experts and talented people thereby increasing the competition.
If IIM Lucknow doesn't hire you for positions that are relevant to your experience in a 2-year program, it will be harder for you to land the desired positions (though there are exceptions).
The one-year MBA is designed for students with more than five years of experience and offers many benefits, including a balanced and diverse cohort from which you can learn from their past failures and successes. The placement scene for a 5-year-old male would be highly subjective (depending on your past experience, past brand name, etc.) People with less than six years of experience have been offered AVP positions in reputable MNCs. Therefore, it is dependent upon what you bring to the table.
Furthermore, because the 2-year course is 34/35 years old, industry acceptance is much higher than for the 1-year course, which is now in its 13th year.
Before making a decision, weigh your options and speak with as many alumni as possible.
An Executive Post Graduation Program in Management (EPGP) is apparently constituted for working professionals who have a few years of work experience.
That being said, these programs are usually shorter than the 2 year MBA programs and it usually has minimum years of work experience eligibility criteria. Many a time, corporate firms ask their emerging managers to take these courses so that they can be considered for senior roles.
IIM Indore’s Executive Post Graduation Program in Management (EPGP) is a one-year residential program for professionals with experience.
Here are the eligibility criteria for applying.
Hope this clears your confusion.
IIM Shillong is a decent option for an executive MBA. Having 5 years of experience will give you an edge. During IIM Shillong placement 2022, Manufacturing and Retail sectors offered around 19% of job offers.

My brother received an interview call from IIM Shillong for their PGPEX program. This was a few years back. He wanted to join the course because he felt it would be beneficial for his corporate career. The teaching model at IIM Shillong focuses on developing Asian economies like China.
The PGPEX is comparatively affordable at IIM Shillong, compared to other management schools. But the top management schools host international teachers as visiting faculty for their courses.
Now here is the catch. The placements of IIM Shillong are entirely student driven. My brother reached out to a faculty member who was clear that the college offers its students a platform, but it can’t guarantee placements. During placements your entire profile will get you an offer, not just your ‘IIM Shillong’ tag.
After careful consideration, my brother decided to not opt for PGPEX at IIM Shillong.
