Hey Rahul,

I agree that these programs got a much better start/infrastructure as compared to 2 year MBA programs and it would certainly take lesser time for these programs to flourish. But the problem is that if they do too well they pose a serious threat to flagship two year courses from MBA institutes and i am not sure if colleges are ready to accept that change. A lot of coordinated efforts is required to be put in to bring these programs to fore, else they wud be end up getting the same treatment as Mtech programmes get in IIT’s

Invigorating article which some amount of pessimism. Few insights:
One year MBA’s have got a better platform compared to 2 year MBA programs during their infancy period. Within decade they are leading institutes in global rankings and build global brand by getting accredition from leading accrediting agencies.
They have got a better coverage thanks to rich media and word of mouth marketing
Macroeconomic indicators are also favorable. There is more PSU disinvestment, start ups and diverse private sector hiring senior to mid level executives in this decade than in 1960-90
Increased exposure to candidates as more institutes have now exchange programs with foreign universities and spending power of candidates have increased.
More FDIs now than in last 50 years gives more visibility to these programs.

My best guess would be, it would take quarter of the time for 1 year MBAs to match and exceed the status of 2 yr MBA.
