I have a work experience of 10 years (as a secretary, but in the last one year as German Translator) but I have not held any supervisory / managerial position. Currently, I am working as a German Translator. Will MBA help me in switching over to a new job as a Manager or promotion in my present job.

Can anybody suggest me?

Thanks

Re: ICFAI Distance Education plan - 16-06-2006, 07:03 PM

Hello Guys,
So after undergoing a lot of confusion and trauma regarding which distance learning course to join, I have finalised on taking up the 2-year PGDBM from NMIMS distance education. There were various reasons for it:

1.) NMIMS is a very good brand name
2.) The fees for the whole program would come close to 30K (fairly cheap)
3.) They are planning to come up with a 1-year course which can be done after completing a 2-year PGDBM, and after successful completion they will award an MBA degree (This thing is however yet in the pipeline..so let it be)
4.) It is approved by the Distance Education Council (DEC). For more info check: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/a...how/408551.cms
5.) Admission through NMAT (Rs.1100), so better quality of students (hopefully ;-))

Whats not so attractive about NMIMS:
1.) More theoratical course-content.
2.) Study Centres only in Maharashtra.

Why I did not choose ICFAI Flexible Education MBA:

1.) The MAIN thing was the Legal issues and speculations (about its status revocation) with the only other course I was thinking of. (Especially with me being a Maharashtra Candidate..). I have written to them seeking more clarification, but yet to get a reply. Students are advised to read their disclosure properly (at http://www.icfai.org/icfe/) before taking any steps.

2.) Very expensive. In installment mode, without the coaching classes, the course would set you back by a handsome 80K (68.5 K fees+ 8K for Exams (group C onwards) + 4K for E-Learning package (group C onwards) + 1K (Icfai Alumni) + 1.5K per year after first two years.)

Whats good about ICFAI Flexible Education MBA:

1.) A very decent course content.
2.) Exams centres spread across India.
3.) E-Learning packages.
4.) Placement Assistance (Incase...), but at a price (Rs.4.5K)

So after consciously evaluating the above I have decided this. Do post your queries/suggestions if any.

Regards,
Rohit.

hi murugesh,

icfai MCA is not recognized by AICTE, for tech courses industry still looks at recognition from AICTE. look at BITS-Pilani MS, subject to your academic background etc. BITS has more recognition and a richer course. also recognized by US/UK universities.
as for icfai degrees getting recognized by US/UK, co.s and universities have their own equivalence calculation process. most states have a degree authorization office(e.g. http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.html).
also many US co.s get background checks done for validity and sufficiency thru intnl verification agencies, be careful not to enroll for a tech degree not recognized in India.
also independent agencies can verify degree equivalence and report to US co.s/univs for a fee. visit www.wes.org for details.
icfai course material is good. also you get evening/contact classes. fee on higher side. annamalai, pondy univ also give contact PT MCA. chk for them also.

For MBA, you can consider ICFAI University because:

* ICFAI gives MBA degree not PGDBA
* It's teaching methodology is case study based same as that of Harvard Business School and IIMs.
* It is associated with many internatinal bodies like ECCH(European Case Clearing House), CIIA(Certified International Investment Analyst) and many more.
* It has seperate research department to keep itself abreast of corporate world.
* It has its own book publishing department to update course content quickly.
* It not only takes care of your Managerial aspects but also develops your personality by teaching you Business etiquettes, Communication skills, Business Letter writing etc.
* It sends you monthly Managerial Magazine to update you with current Business world.
* It has 130+ examination centers.
* It gives specialization in 9 subjects.
* It guarentees job of Minimum 21,000/ per month.

I am myself final year student of ICFAI MBA, so I can help you by sending you free prospectus and other ins and outs of this program.

With best regards
