Is it easier to get an executive degree abroad compared to India, especially for someone with 12-13 years of work experience for a MBA?

It depends. With 12 - 13 years of work experience, you are well qualified for executive MBA (EMBA) programs both in India and abroad.

- International EMBA programs: Often value significant work experience and offer global exposure, diverse networking, and international business perspectives. Some programs are accelerated (as short as 12 months).
- Indian EMBA programs: Top institutes like IIMs and ISB have strong reputations and flexible formats (weekend or modular classes) designed for working professionals.

Admission competitiveness and eligibility are similar in both cases, but requirements and selection criteria may vary by institution and country. Consider program format, duration, and financial investment before deciding.
