I've asked around and i've got mixed opinions from people.. Would it make any sense to do the residential course for two years & then do an exec MBA from a good school in order to stregthen my chances of a good managerial position in the Comm sector? Or does the PGP program take care of that rendering a MBA unnecessary? |
Hi Venky,
I am at present in MICA pursuing the PGPCMX course. So here's some first hand info:-
PGPCMX is a 15 month fully residential executive programme. The course has been tailored to provide guys with workex an education and launchpad to pursue careers in Communications driven industries.
Your ambition to get into Mass Comn/
PR /Corp Comn/ Branding et al can bbe realized via this course.
Today, with industry acceptance of executive MBAs, I don't think you need to do an MBA after an exec prograame.
Other than the fields mentioned by you, the PGPCMX programme also covers advanced courses in Media Mgmnt, Design, Events and Entertainment and Retail. And of course, MICA is the mecca for marketing and marketing communications.
Do let me know if you need any other info.
