Full time MBA programme is generally for the students who have recently completed their graduation or have a work experience of 0-3/4 years. There is no restrictions on a student having a work experience of 4+ years but it won't be very helpful because you will definitely be able to gain knowledge but at the time of internship and final placements companies don't prefer with high work experience students. In any b-school 2 years work experience is ideal for doing a 2 year full time MBA programme.

Whereas executive MBA is a 1 year programme especially for those who have a very high work experience. This is many times even funded by companies itself so as to get their employee more management knowledge. Anyway it's not necessary as most of the people who are looking forward to change their domain after working for a long time in some other field opt for this executive MBA program.

Both the program's selection procedure and fees according to each college is almost same. Difference is in duration of program, Full time MBA in 2 years and executive MBA in 1 year. Also there is  difference in curriculum as executive MBA is more focussed on practical industrial knowledge.

All the best!!
