Concept of weekend MBA:

Earning a master’s degree in executive MBA is a stepping stone to progress in the working fields. As a professional, it enriches the efficiency and helps in contributing to the organization’s growth. But the question is the mode towards which it could be studied. Courses can be held on regular basis in the evening for 2-3 hours. Alternatively, extensive classes can be held at weekend when office remains closed.

An executive can attain evening classes if he can leave the working place immediately after the end of normal daily working hours. By attaining the evening classes, he can keep his weekend free for other works and to keep family commitments.

In other method, classes are held on weekend when office work is not required. Students can use their holidays in attaining classes. Alternatively, in other than weekend courses, classes are held on every day after office hours in the evening. So, students, after completing their normal working hours, can come and join the course.

In modern complex working environment,  quite often executives have to stay back beyond  normal working hours. They cannot attend evening classes on regular basis. So, their study suffers and remains half done and incomplete. Hence,the weekend MBA concept is very effective for them. It is very common to middle level executives and this also helps them to their career growth and retain the leadership position.

Thus, evening executive MBA and weekend executive MBA programmes are similar in value addition but differ only in terms of the timing and target customers.
