Are B-schools very selective for executive MBA admissions? Is the criteria very difficult to crack?

The definition of selective may differ for different people, but it is far easier to get into executive MBA program, especially when compared to full-time MBA programs in the same institutes. The toughest institutes to get into will be IIM, XLRI, FMS, MDI, IMT, ISB, NMIMS, XIM and IIFT. Acceptance rates for these institutes are less revealing because in many cases there is an entrance exam followed by a conversation that occurs between would-be applicants and schools that makes a good number of potential candidates not to enter on an easy basis.The criteria is not that tough as compared to the regular full-fledged courses followed by 2-10 experience with the declaration of CAT/XAT/GMAT and other top MBA entrance exam results, half of the race of grabbing a seat in the coveted B-Schools is already won. The next half of the race is yet to be conquered. After receiving the shortlist offer from your chosen B-Schools, you need to face the second round of the selection procedures. When it comes to the round of selection, one size does not fit all. Each institute has a different selection methodology to follow. The environment in all top B-Schools is conducive, the professors & seniors are very helpful. All top B-Schools are located at the central part of the city hence there are no snarls in the transportation. The fooding & lodging provided is healthy in nature.

Executive MBA is of a shorter duration and the admission process is simpler to that of regular MBA. Work experience of minimum 3 years is a must for Executive MBA program. Many institutes also don't have an admission test for allotting admissions.
