MBA thro' Distance Learning ?? - 19-07-2004, 06:07 PM

Hi folks,

Need info the various MBA courses offered by the reputed B-schools for correspondence.

I heard tht XLRI, Symbi, ICFAI and IGNOU offer distance learning MBA programs..But not quite sure of whats the procedure to enroll to these courses. and do these correspondence MBA courses hold any value at all???
or is it tht classroom MBA is what actually holds some value..me to confused on these lines...coz lot of my pals share the feeling tht MBA by correspondence isnt of too much help .. Wat says u guys???

+ Do we have to write CAT or any other entrances to take up these courses..?
Me aiming to start the course from year 2005...so whns tht we write entrances for these courses and wats the selection procedure..??

Please share any kind of pointers on these distance learning courses....??

Thanx a ton!
Vidya

Hi...
Firstly, you'll have to let me know whether you hold some work experience or not. Are you currently working?
I can provide distance learning information to you about the courses offered at ICFAI.

the prime purpose of an mba-fulltime and and an mba by correspondence differ. u'll have to figure out what is it that u wud expect post the mba, in terms of academic inputs and in terms of a push upwards in ur career.....an mba by correspondence is usually prefferred by those ppl who , primarily, dont have the time for a full time course and , secondly, for whom a full time mba might not be the best investment considering the stage of their career...i.e. to say, the returns might not justify their staying away from work for a coupla years.....a full time course is, in most cases, preferred by those who need a proper academic environment and for whom peer interaction also plays a major part (to some, the only part ).....a second set of ppl is ppl directly out of their under-graduation.....to the second set of ppl, a degree by correspondence usually doesn't make much sense.....

as regards output differentiators between fulltime and correspondence courses....well.....there are many......and to many, foremost being, no placements

each institute has a different mechanism for selection (which usually doesn't exist in most cases ).....afaik, icfai charges quite a bit over what other correspondence courses charge....but i believe it is a good draw amongst a lotta s/w pros in hyderabad.......

figure out which is more suited to ya ... all da best

Cheers

If you have work experience and don't want to give a break in your career you can go for a correspondence course. But a fulltime MBA from a good institute can earn a lot.

Yeah..precisely ! i dont want a break in my career...and at the same time pursue an MBA..to provide tht thrust in my career...as ultimately i want to be into mgmt ..+ it accelerates my entry into mgmt...frm this perspective..is it still good to do a distance learning....
I very well understand...........tht pursuing a full-time one ofcourse has 'ALL' its advantages....but well....

I want info on :
1) Which institutes offer distance learning MBA.
2) Wats the entry procedure for them..?
3) Which ones are preferred..?

If any of you have any pointers to any of these..please let me know..

Thanx,
Vidya
