How is the placement pattern for 1 year or executive MBA from IIMs and ISB?

The average work experience is 4.7 years at ISB and is much lower than the IIMs one year program for executives (9.5 years). It would be obvious that considering the notable difference in the average work experience of the class between the two, the salaries would also differ. Those with a higher experience would draw bigger paychecks, which is why the average salary at IIMA-PGPX ranges around 25-30 LPA and tends to be greater than ISB which is around 19-20 LPA. The average salary for IIM PGPX is higher than ISB. If you have between zero to two years of experience, the 2 year PGP at IIM will be good. Between 2 to 7 years of work experience, you'd be closer to the average ISB student. For mature professionals, with over 7 years of experience you can start looking at IIM PGPX. Now that may sound like an easy flowchart to follow, but keep in mind that IIM / ISB are the toughest programs in India to crack.

IIM's are still in the phase of earning recognition for their 1-year program. I would rank ISB as the top most choice for the same. It is ranked under top 30 colleges for doing MBA from around the world. The program, course structure, faculty and post-MBA placements are excellent in ISB and have been a threat to all major IIM's one year MBA programs. While getting into ISB's one year program is extremely difficult, it is comparatively easy to get into one year program of IIM's. If you are considering ISB, I will recommend you to consider SP JAIN too. While ISB is pretty much ahead of SP Jain with respect to the above parameters, SP Jain is slowly catching up with the top colleges around the world. SP Jain is too ranked under top 30 colleges in the world to do an MBA from. If you are really looking for a one year MBA, then please consider ISB and SP Jain as your top choices, and in an extreme case, consider IIM's, that too, the Old ones. Now coming to the placement statistics: ISB and SP Jain from the last couple of years have crossed the 19 LPA average package with more than 40% - 50% of the batch getting above 20 lakhs -22 lakhs. IIM's average package for a One year MBA depends on College though the average package cross 13 - 14 lakhs every year and lesser for the new IIM's.

Placement pattern is humungous for the right candidates. Regarding one year MBA from IIM-A, B, C i.e. PGPX the placement rose to 17 percent and the CTC offered was 25-40 LPA from various industries from India and abroad. The entire placements took place in 2 days. On the other hand, ISB-Hyderabad was magnificent in its placements, hence the highest CTC offered was 70 LPA. The median salary offered was above 20 LPA. Each and every organisation participated in the placement. In my Alma Mater, my Dean said we do not provide any placement.
