Hii Puys,
I am a graduate of 1 year programme. I had couple of years of experience in a leading IT company of India before joining the 1 year programme in 2008 from Europe Asia Business School in Pune
.
Currently, I am working as Manager in Dubai in a leading retail company managing their operations in entire MENA region.
Before joining 1 year programme, I had an option of joining a 2 year programme from another Pune institute, but I decided to join the 1 year a shot. I applied to few other 1 year PGP courses like SPJain (Dubai) and ISB(Hyd).
There are lot of my former colleagues from Infy and my juniors from engg college calling me to find out the benefits of 1 year PGP over 2 year PGP. I thought why not everybody should be benefitted from this thread.
Here is some snapshot of my research from internet:
As per the AICTE/UGC websites the total number of colleges offering 2 year PGP are around 3000 (Three thousand only and counting....)
Whereas as per the popular reports the colleges offering 1 year PGP are handful ...... list:
- Indian School of Business (ISB) - Hyderabad
- IIM-A (PGPX)
- IIM-B
- IIM-C
- XLRI
- MDI
- SPJain (Dubai, Singapore)
- Great Lakes, Chennai
- Europe Asia Business School (EABS), Pune
- Mumbai Business School (MBS), Mumbai
- School of Inspirational Leadership (SOIL), Gurgoan
- IMI, NewDelhi
- Wellingkar's, Mumbai
- NMIMS, Mumbai
(Have i missed something from the list ...... plz add)
In all not more than 25-30 colleges are offering 1 year PGP. Most of the European colleges like Oxford, Cambridge, IMD, HEC, ESSADE etc offers 1 year MBA for many years. The 2 year format is getting jaded over the period of time....
Let us start this debate of 1 year vs 2 year MBA ........ !!
Cheers!!
Rahul
