There are numerous options for business programs all over the world. It can be hard to determine which is best for you. There are several things to consider, including your age, current experience, your schedule and your GMAT score.

Have you held a managerial position for several years? If so, a fast-track EMBA might suit your needs. These programs are created to give business executives the tools they need to advance their careers without impacting their current schedules and responsibilities. The average age of students in EMBA programs is 37. Significant experience in the field is a requirement, but the GMAT is often optional.

Traditional MBAs, on the other hand, are more thorough and academic in nature. They cover everything from business theory to practical tools, providing students with a base to begin their executive career. The average student age in MBA programs is 28. These programs are usually full time, and require a GMAT score for admission.

Before reaching a final decision, you may want to discuss your aspirations and requirements with a firm like Aringo. We will help you streamline your goals and choose a path that best suits your requirements and unique skill set.

MBA & EMBA both are two different things.
EMBA : EMBA is totally designed for working professional and those who have at-least 3 years of work experience. The course curriculum and timing are different compare to regular MBA.
MBA : Any graduate who are interested into managerial qualification can go for MBA study. The applicant can go for it by clear CAT/MAT/GMAT or any other equivalent test.
