Remember the age-old saying of ‘Quality over quantity’ that applies to all walks of life. The amount or duration doesn’t matter unless you deliver great results. On the basis of this saying we approach a frequently asked question ‘One year MBA or a full time two year MBA in India?’ Some say it’s a matter of perception, some say a one year compensates on teachings or vice versa. But, what is the exact answer to this infamous query and it’s not only over here in India, it’s all over the world. European countries have several universities that offer a one year MBA whereas in America they are a few in number. Let’s try to solve this riddle and hopefully by the end of this article you’re able to make an informed decision.
One year MBA
A one year MBA degree is for experienced professionals. The requirement for securing a seat in this program is to have a minimum of 2-5 years of work experience (depending on the university). It’s noticed that experienced individuals can grasp the teachings much easily than their amateur counterparts. In addition, the candidates can resume work after a year of absence compared to the longer two years. In several cases the company sponsors for the MBA expenditures and after a year the candidate is offered a better position and a better package in the same organization, a win-win situation for both.
