What about Symbiosis Distance Program ??
Hi Chandan,
I edited my previous post which you quoted. There is some correction, the age limit for crisil isn't 25 but 27. i.e. you should be born on or after jan 1 1985. Then you can be eligible for its career programs. Crisil is reputed credit rating organisation. If you are under 27 and is interested in finance, and since you planned to join icici securities and also done b.sc. with maths, then finance can be good field for you. You may consider joining crisil career programs.
As for symbiosis, I heard from so many people its really good etc. Definately symbiosis holds brandname. But I inquired there, the course fee is less then other distance learning institutes, but all they provide is study materials. It is completely correspondence course, no assignments, no project nothing, only exam and certification on successful completion of course. No placement assistance. It is just a qualification that you can add on your resume, and study from books they deliver. Just a paper in market, instead of that, you can go to library or bookstore and buy some management books and study yourself, then what is wrong that way. Why would pay 30000 for materials, exams and certificates. But still people say symbiosis is best. But what is the meaning of studying like this, I believe in today's era, any institutes offering distance learning should atleast provide weekend classes or evening classes or online (e-learning classes). Sikkim Manipal, icfai, etc. offers weekend lectures at its study centre, however this lectures are optional and you have to pay extra apart from course fee for lectures. While aima pgdm is supported by e-learning. And many others like IMT gaziabad, narsee monjee, etc. provide lectures on sunday at its study centre, and in all this institutes viz. aima, sikkim manipal, imt, narsee monjee, you have to submit assignments and project at the end of course. In distance learning you don't get exposure like full-time, but atleast if you are asked to prepare for case studies, assignment and project then that will make you feel like you are studying.
