The IIMA Executive MBA's requirements for admissions are a good academic record, good GMAT scores, around seven years work experience, be 27 or older, and a reason why they are choosing IIMA to earn their one-year Executive MBA.  There is no application fee and no minimum GMAT score, but the higher GMAT score, the better chance you have of program acceptance.  The total fee for the program is around $19,000 USD, which includes tuition, academic expenses, and room and board.  There are payment plans available, as well as many banks that would be interested in offering a loan for the program.

Other Executive MBA programs allow the students to continue to work, but this program is based in India, so it's a full-time, residential program, for those who work in other countries, like the United States, time would need to be taken off of work.  Living arrangements can be made for single and married students.  Married student living requires an extra cost.  There is not a reserve for international students, but a diverse student body is essential to the international aspect of the program.  Corporate sponsorship is not required and at the completion of the program, placement is offered for non-sponsored students.  

The IIMA Executive MBA focuses mainly on general management, emphasizing managing across borders and cultures.  It also offers an international project besides the teaching materials taken from other cultures and businesses.  Since the program mainly focuses on management, there is no minor option, but several electives in marketing, finance, supply chain management, strategic management, etc.  At the end of completion of the program, you will receive a Post Graduate Diploma in Management which is equivalent to many other one-year programs offered in other schools around the world.
