Without doubt, your first choice should be IIM L WMP program. This program is an excellent choice if your live nearby Delhi or NCR area. Otherwise regular commute and applying for frequent leaves from your company can be big issue. After WMP, you are also eligible to apply for doctoral programs, as far as my knowledge goes, this means the course has weight and value in the market. ePGPx program is a blended one and gets completed in a year, which is good, but it is very new to the market. Also the brand value of IIML is much higher than IIMR. ePGPx does not have any accreditation (which many such programs don’t have), but there are some good programs which are accredited like EPGP from IIMK which is a blended program and is a well recognised program by the industry as well as academia. Accreditation are a benchmark for the quality, do also look out for this fact.

ePGPx program from IIM Rohtak is a one-year online diploma program. It is not an MBA course. To be a genuine Executive MBA from any IIM in India, a program has to be either one-year full-time or two-year blended/part-time. For above 6 lacs in price and no placement assistance, it is a really high priced diploma course. There are additional charges for campus visits and travels. IIM Rohtak ranks #23 in India. There are better executive education programs from other great institutes in India at much affordable fees structure. For EPGP, IIM Kozhikode is better option. At 12 lacs fees, it is cheaper than IIM Rohtak (per year cost). Above all, it is a genuine MBA degree program. If one still wants to go for One-year Executive Programs, look for Executive Program in Business Management (EPBM) from IIM Calcutta or Senior Management Program (SMP) from IIM Ahmedabad etc. for better value-price proposition.

 IIM Noida

Working Managers' Programme (WMP) is offered by the Noida campus of IIM lukcnow. It is a

a Two-Year Post-Graduate Programme for Working Executives. The WMP it is particularly for

working executives, entrepreneurs and professionals, who desire to enhance their managerial

knowledge and skills through formal management education while continuing to work full time

in their ongoing professions/businesses.

Choosing either of the program depends on how much time you can put into it. IIM lucknow has

an on-campus program with a two year course which is more intense and requires a lot of time.

So if you are in full time job and cannot take a lot of work pressure then you should go for the

IIIM Rohtak program. But the program as such is better in IIM lucknow. The faculty comprises

of the alumni and other experts. Here you get to meet the experts and learn from them. Also, the

course will be more comprehensive because it is spread across the time period of 2 years.

Hi,I have been tracking the executive education domain from quite some time now and here are my two cents:Overall Executive Education is slowly and steadily gaining respect and acknowledgement. With the emergence of technology, part-time MBAs are being gradually replaced by 'Virtual Interactive Learning' MBAs, or even better 'Blended MBAs' (combination of few full residential classes on campus and Live interactive virtual classes). Two Top Bschools in India (IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Kozhikode) have already started offerring EPGP (also known as 'PGPX' or 'ePGPX' or 'PGPEX' etc.), their flagship Executive PGDM programs on Virtual Interactive Learning mode.Benefits of blended learning are firstly, you can be anywhere in the world to pursue it; while part-time course geo-lock you for the tenure of the course, you can move around while pursing blended learning program. Secondly, blended learning course would attract diversified talent as people from across the country can join. Thirdly ( and most importantly), pricing part; since you use less of the institute infrastructure the cost of the program goes down significantly. While WMP is priced at 13.5 lacs, one year blended program would be half as priced on an apple-to-apple comparison.While full-time MBAs are different products from the bschools, part-time MBAs are on a brink of extinction and will soon be replaced by blended programs due the benefits, diversity, flexibility and pricing factors.ePGPx from IIM Rohtak is an innovative program designed by IIM Rohtak. WMP is also a great course today but its demand will gradually shrink in the wake of emerging learning technologies.

Vinay Kapil Singh EPGPX from IIM Rohtak is not a comparision for EPGP from IIM Ahmedabad or EPGP from IIM Kozhikode. EPGPX from IIM Rohtak is one-year diploma course whereas other two are proper MBA programs.
