XLRI Satellite Program (Work-Ex 2 years)

[esoteric]

Friends,

Objective of this Thread:
To objectively analyse how a Virtual Class room MBA (or Post Graduate Certificate) can help you in your long term career and to evaluate the pros and cons of the same.
I look forward to inputs from seniors on a general basis and on specifically on my profile as which is the set of people who can really benifit from this course.

Well i started my career as a software engineer at one of the India's well known IT services company. More than i what prepared for my examinations at college or CAT at college and thereafter, I have spent on improving my personality, communication and understanding of human behaviour (all are part of my interests ).
Well i had a good visibility in the organisation due to the participation in the ORG level initiatives and public speaking being my passion.
It so eventually led, that i moved to HR- Recruitment team of my company.

Having set the conext right, my aim now is to focus on my job and excel to the peak.
Also, i would like to get a overview of the complete HR process.
First, I am as always involved in some of the HR initiatives outside my function.
Second, I am looking towards an International MBA or E-MBA from XLRI through HUGES DISTANCE LEARNING. I have a total of 2.2 years of experience, of which 1.5 years is of s/w engg.
Folks, esp the senior ones, can you guide me what aould be the best for me.

Please keep in mind:
(1) I'll not really prefer to stay abraod for a long time due to some personal comitttments.
(2) What would be the worth of distance learning program?

Waiting for inputs from your side.

I am also in the same boat as urs...
I am a an ERP consultant with 1.5 years of work ex. in software. Would like to know what are the future prospects of doing a 1yr XLRI or IIM-C MBA course company sponsered.
I took CAT this year but i dont think would be able to into any gd institute.

Anyone who has done this course or seniors who have an idea about this course ...could please let me know if these courses are recognised by the other companies and not diffrentiated from a full time course(as experience counts).

Is it really worth doin ??

Hi,
I am interested in this course. I m doing my bit of study before the applcations for next batch are rolled out.
I see, all the previous scraps are done in 2007. So, few of you would have joined the course.
Can anyone give the feedback on the course, their views about the course.
Will it be beneficial in future?
