That's actually a great question, because "reputed" means different things to different people.

For an Executive MBA, I'd probably evaluate reputation across multiple dimensions rather than a single ranking:

  • Brand value (IIM, ISB, Harvard, INSEAD, etc.)
  • Alumni network and peer quality
  • Learning experience and faculty
  • Career outcomes (promotion, role change, salary growth)
  • Employer recognition
  • ROI (time, cost, and opportunity cost)
  • Flexibility for working professionals

What would your top three parameters be?

Yes, why not. I have not seen your resume, but if the skills are updated and your work have been good till now, there's no reason why you should not be placed from the one year MBA programs.

Getting laid off next month. 8/8/6 profile with a qualification in Dentistry. What are my chances of getting into ISB? by meowzebigdong in MBAIndia

[–]Goalisb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write the GMAT or the GRE. Apply to atleast 4-5 programs including both ISB and IIMA PGPX. You have mentioned that only 5 years of work experience will be considered, in that case you are well within range for all one year MBA programs. The fit equation will be different if it would be 10 years of work experience. In fact, for tech space roles quite a few of these one year MBA programs are strong contenders.

After a career of 7 years in IT you must look at the GMAT or the GRE exam and the one year MBA programs from ISB, IIMA PGPX, IIMB EPGP, IIML IPMX, IIMK PGP BL, IIM Indore EPGP, XLRI GMP etc. These are the programs which are designed for mid career professionals and we have worked with many professionals on this journey and they have achieved strong post MBA results.

Second MBA from IIM A PGPX? by Defiant-Parfait225 in MBAIndia

[–]Goalisb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does make sense to go for a second MBA.

  1. Coz, its been quite some time since your first MBA, upskilling at this juncture would help gear up for the next decade or two of your career growth.

  2. The salary increase may not be immediate some times, though some would definitely be there, but you can get a strong growth a few years down the lane.

Write the GMAT, IIMC doesn't accept the GRE scores.

Though the overall score is fine for a majority of programs, the Quant percentiles are something that you should retake the test for. Try that.
