Executive MBA is a Master of Business Administration that specifically targets corporate executives and managers. Since they already come with industry experience of 10-15 years the programme is usually for 1 year, regular or part time.

A regular MBA is a a PG programme which is open to fresh graduates or graduates with just an year or two of experience and hence is a proper PG programme of 2 years.

The programme structure too differs. While an MBA tends to concentrate more on specific areas of business like Finance, Marketing etc., an EMBA covers business studies from a strategic perspective.
