ADVANTAGES OF A 1-YEAR MBA PROGRAM
- Quick return to corporate career:
Unlike a 2-year program, these programs are 12-16 months in duration and this helps students to get back into the corporate sector quickly
- Offers higher immediate return on investment:
The return on investment of a 1-year MBA is similar to that of a 2-year program
- Accelerated Career Progression to mid/senior management roles:
As these programs accept candidates who come in with a significant amount of work experience, students end up getting placed in middle or senior management roles post-completion
- Networking with seasoned professionals:
The networking opportunities are immense, not only in the form of the immediate batch but also through the rich alumni network
- International Immersion:
All the programs have 2-3 month international study tours which widen the horizons for the participants
ADMISSION PROCEDURE
