What is the process and eligibility of getting enrolled in an executive MBA from IIM Calcutta?

IIM Calcutta is among the top B Schools in the customized executive education category globally. It offers 2 executive programs - PGP-Ex or Post Graduate Programs for Executive, and

PGP-Ex-VLM or PGP-Ex for Visionary Leadership in Manufacturing. 

Factors considered in the selection process include:

• Academic record

• Work Experience 

• Performance in aptitude tests

• Personal interview 

Now let’s have a glimpse of both courses individually.

PGPEX:

• 1-year full-time program 

• It is for Industry Executives who have worked for more than five years in the industry.

• The program helps people stuck in the middle of their careers to upgrade their management skills and climb the ladder to top management roles.

• You require a Bachelor's degree to join the program.

PGPEX-VLM:

• 1-year full time program 

• It focuses on the manufacturing industry 

• Co-run by IIM Calcutta, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Madras

• You require an engineering degree and a minimum of four and a half-year of work experience in manufacturing, engineering, and related sectors.

Both programs are equally good. The only difference lies in the fact that the latter focuses on manufacturing and technical aspects more than the former.
