http://www.shiksha.com/top-executive-mba-colleges-in-india-rankingpage-18-2-0-0-0
The Executive PGDM Program is designed for working professionals with a minimum of 5 years career experience generally. You do not have to be at an executive level to be a student in the Executive PGDM Program. An executive PGDM program is a lot like a regular PGDM program. The main difference is that an executive PGDM program is primarily designed to educate working executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders.
Although executive PGDM programs can vary from school to school, there are some things that remain the same. To start with, executive PGDM programs are typically designed for working professionals. They tend to be flexible and allow students to attend class in the evenings and on weekends. The average program also allows working individuals to earn their executive PGDM degree in two years or less. Executive PGDM students are usually in the mid-stage of their career. They may be earning an executive PGDM to increase their career options or simply to update their knowledge and brush up on skills they have already acquired. Executive PGDM students are almost never at the beginning stages of their career. Students at the beginning level tend to be better suited to traditional PGDM programs that cater to student of all ages and experience levels.
The cost of an executive PGDM program can vary depending on the school you attend. In many cases, the tuition for an executive PGDM program is slightly higher than the tuition of a traditional pgdm program.
Choosing an executive PGDM program is an important decision and should not be taken lightly. You will want to find a program that is accredited and offers good academic opportunities.

Q.6 Should I do PGDM after Science or B.Tech?
Ans. A PGDM program can be pursued by any graduate from different disciplines. The reasons for joining an management program varies from person to person. In countries like India, with the hype of all IIMs, ISB and other premier MBA institutions the shift in pursuing higher education has been slightly changed towards PGDM in recent times. With all the lavish salaries PGDM students get right after their graduation, many are tempted to jump the bandwagon.
PGDM/PGDBA as it says, it is “Post Graduate Diploma in Management”, “Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration” clearly we can see it is an Administration or Management degree by name. It is no way technical in nature. You are not trying to explore the depth of a particular subject; you are trying to learn various aspects of a business and learn management skills to administer company’s or organization’s resources and people effectively. Typically, two thirds of the classes will be fundamental courses of Business and administration like Accounting, Corporate Finance , Organization behavior, IT for Managers, Marketing Strategy, Economics, Operations strategy, Leadership and Negotiation, etc. Rest of the One thirds of the classes with be electives and you have the choice. But, when someone says, I have MS in Marketing, it means they had around 80 – 100% of their classes in Marketing ONLY. You see the difference? Based on university it changes, but generally you can do your own set of classes that you like for the 1/3rd of classes in PGDM with variety of mix, then you will not have a degree in specialization.
Hope this information will help you decide why do an PGDM program because everybody can do it.
