The thrust of the learning experience is to train you to compete and succeed using leadership skills, strategic thinking and in-depth functional knowledge. The program shortens the learning curve of prospective General Managers and Vice Presidents through exposure to strategic issues in management over a wide front.

During this program you will learn to think like General Managers and most importantly, you will practice the skills of questioning, listening, integrating, and communicating. You will have the opportunity to experiment with new approaches and to discuss your own professional challenges with your colleagues and faculty facilitators.

Hi,Please let me know if this course is approved by AICTE?

What is the duration of Executive PGDM course? What are the internship opportunities?

@ Wan2domba

Thank you for your post. And as your name says, I wish you good luck in your MBA pursuit.

Query 1
Yes, the course is AICTE approved. And one of the very few institutes to get AICTE approval for this kind of courses in Karnataka.

Query 2
The course is for 15months, which is of 5 semesters including 3 months of internship.
Well the internship opportunities are good. The college has its vast alumni and since the XIME is known among the corporates, the college has been able to attract many MNC and Indian companies.

Hi,

I am expecting an offer for Ex-PGDM (2012-13 batch) and would like to know about the placements for the Ex-PGDM students.

1) Approx what percentage of hike do we get in the pay package?
2) The course gets over in Sep and the placements wouldn't start till Jan, so looks like we will have to search for the job on our own. How well is this degree recognized among the corporates?
3) I am hoping our current work-ex is considered while looking out for a job, please tell me this is true..

Thanks,
Karthik

Welcome to XIME ExPGDM thread.

Good to know you have taken up this bold step towards great future ahead. Wish you the very best for it.

To answer your quires:

1, What matters to you - profile or remuneration? Its up to the individuals who come in for this program as to what they want to achieve. Negotiation is your skill, people have made it to better profiles and salaries and also there are cases where guys are not clear on their needs.

2, I feel your query sounds little negative. To tell you the positive side - You could start for the placement through reference, with the help of college, from august itself and make your way out with pre placement offer from your internship company as well or wait for the college placement to happen in Jan and you could join your dream company then. Either way its a win-win situation for you. Infosys, Wipro, TCS and few other major IT companies very well know XIME and its courses. For further info kindly have a look at the placement brochure. Right now its the intake of 5th batch and XIME is known well in Karnataka with top ranking. But the same cannot be compared with ISB or Great Lakes as ExPGDM is not the flagship program.

3, Yes, what you said is correct. Your work-ex is considered while you are been interviewed. More of it, its a lateral placement. That's why have a clear career path and know where you want to place yourself and reach it by making good use of this program.

I hope to have answered to your quires. Further you want to know more, do write in.
