Many work-ing professionals who want to do an MBA are not willing to take two years off from work, owing to several reasons, including the loss of salary for that period. One-year MBA programmes target those who typically have at least two or three years of work experience. The programmes are rigorous and do not include internships or breaks.

One-year MBA courses save time, and candidates can get back to their earning ways in a year’s time. This kind of MBA is ideal for those who are looking for career progression in the same or similar work domain. Radical domain shifts are tougher to achieve although not impossible.

Many well-known colleges in India, including the IIMs, offer one-year MBA programmes.
Part-time MBA: Many work-ing professionals do not want to quit their jobs to study further. In order to cater to such students, many B-Schools have come up with part-time MBA programmes.

These programmes run on weekends and usually take longer to complete than the traditional MBA programmes.
