Respected Seniors,
Recently, an institute has approached me to pursue an MBA course with them. They have certain accreditations which are mentioned below:
- Formed by the Famous NGO "NEW TOWN LOK SHIKSHA SOCIETY" Govt. Regd. No. S/1L/60985
- The first Institute in INDIA to obtain ISO 9001 - 2008 certification
- American Nations Accreditation Board (ANAB)
- British Standard Institute (BSI), UK
- Accredited by the Indian Centre for Distance Learning
- Registered with the Government of West Bengal
I am interested to know if completing a course from such a certified or accredited institute will benefit me in my future job.
Thanks and Regards,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
Any institute, university, or college in India has to be approved by UGC and DEC (IGNOU) for conducting regular or distance learning programs. The details you have mentioned do not show either. So, I believe this institute is just a degree mill.

Interesting...
I googled for "ISO Certified Colleges India" and got 750,000 items in the list. The first page itself has 11 colleges, quite a few of which claim to be the first/only ISO certified college. I also found a page that is offering ISO Certification to schools and colleges in Gujarat for about Rs. 1.5 Lakhs. So that is how much you should rely on ISO Certification.
Any college in India must be accredited to UGC and under AICTE. Without that, no higher education is recognized under the Indian laws. However, more important than anything is whether the industry is willing to accept the degree and give you jobs and at what price. You need to find that out. Check with recruiters and with companies what they think. Google will also give you lots of info on colleges and their status (but be careful and take things with a certain degree of cynicism).
I know of a college in Pune which is actually illegal (does not have AICTE certification) but instead gets the students to appear for IGNOU exams to get a recognized degree. First, the industry did recruit based on the reputation of the principal, but then later they found placements a big problem. Check all things before you make a decision.

Any MBA not approved by AICTE is not worth doing. Don't go by ISO and BSI. There are few organizations which can certify ISO for money. Registered with WB Govt. doesn't make the institute genuine. There is a difference between being registered with WB and being recognized by the WB Govt.
If I were to start a tuition centre at my home, I can register under my state law. It takes less than 1 day. But getting recognition is very difficult.
I won't be pursuing a program from this institute.

Of more concern would be finding an institution that actually makes its students do the work and earn their degrees honestly. So many instances here on CiteHR of students requesting ready-made assignments or asking others to do the work for them, instead of doing the research and work themselves to learn about the subjects they are supposedly studying. Hence, they enter the workforce totally useless as they have no skills.
