Executive part-times of non-IIM's mirrored the IIM's

Ever since the IIM's started the executive courses, there was good response from the industry and among students. Inline with this many non-IIM's also started enrolling for executive courses. SPJain, NMIMS to name a few(that i know of... :) ).  In doing so they have taken some shortcuts here.

The structural import
First they took the IIM syllabus as is. Then they modified as per their the needs of the people who could be bought in to this syllabus. Then they tried to amalgamate the IIM way of teaching with case study methodology. They backed up this course with some good faculty (Preferably phd's in their field). Then they started to rolling out as course that is as competent as the IIM's. the rest of the infrastructure is already avaliable - library, selection process, location, recognition etc. This is done well so far. So they started to honor part-time executives. This was a good boost to their courses as many started to accept this course. But the fact is that even if you sell sprite in a whisky bottle it will still be sprite - That's the outlook of the recruiters.

The key is that you get an MBA (more or less) which is part time from a renowned Institute that mirrors the IIM's in the methodology. As the economy bought in(and still bringing-in) cycles of recession many  found this a safe haven for continuing studies on part-time basis.

This is the way NMIMS ,SP Jain and other institutes are working. They are finding it interesting and students must have found the benefits of it assuming they gave what it takes.

To my understanding this is a good bargain and best value for money.
