Hi,

Pl share your thoughts on this program. How much does it have in the industry. Is it recognised widely. Is it worth spending 5L on the course. Agreed that IIMK will not provide placement, but will the industry give due recognition if someone tries on his own to get placed.

Hi All

At least I got some good responses from some eMEP students.

This is only program which offers a PG Diploma among the other similar programmes from XLRI and IIMC. Others provide just a certification.

Considering IIM, I would expect the course to be good, only perhaps the fees is a little high.

Do others have anything to share?

hi...

Can u pls tell me what the exam format is like?
wrt the number of sections , questions/ section and difficulty level..

is it of the same difficulty level as CAT?

Hi Gaurav,

I work currently as an analyst in a leading global HR BPO and consultancy with 5 plus years of experience. I know there are no placements for this course but does industry give weightage to this course while hiring? Since you are doing this course, would like to know what has your experience been? Do you think doing this course can significantly improve ones career prospects?

Thanks
