Salary Spike
The executive MBA programme allows students to transition to top management roles. It looks like their efforts have paid off. The salary packages they received are 104% higher than their pre-MBA salaries, NDTV reported citing an institute official.
"After spending close to 9 years in diverse domains, I was looking to fastrack my progression to top management. This course has been a transformative experience," Prashant Sharma, an MBAEx alumnus told NDTV.
Overall, it has been a good year for India’s B-school pass outs. Students of IIM Kozhikode, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade(IIFT) Delhi, Management Development Institute (MDI) Gurgaon reportedly received ₹ 2 million as starting pay, on an average.
The rise in pay could be due to companies striving to hire quality talent which they apparently find only at premium b-schools, said Ketan Kapoor, Co- founder, Mettl.
