Hello,

Lots of discussion is going on about which institute to choose for a course. In my opinion, each institute has its own style of teaching. Additionally, Symbiosis tends to be preferred when it comes to placement.

The preference also depends on the candidate and their experience in professional life. Therefore, in my view, one can pursue an MBA or diploma as per their preference. However, before enrolling, one should consider whether a part-time course would be suitable, as it requires a lot of energy and an extra drive for studying.

Hi friends,

Well Sneha, I have completed my MBA from Symbi (Regular). I would suggest you go for a regular MBA from Symbi or any other institute. This will be more beneficial in terms of job opportunities and companies offering profiles to you. If you prefer to pursue a correspondence MBA, then Symbi is a good institute, as well as ICFAI.

Take care and all the best.

Dear Nidhi,

Can you please tell me about the affiliation of ICFAI? Is it affiliated with AICTE, the Ministry of HRD, a university, or is it a private university under the UGC act? I am confused as people are saying different things about this.

You were a student there, and I hope you have the correct information to give me a clear picture. Please email me at debaprasad@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

Hello, friend. I suggest you do your MBA at ICFAI. Currently, I am also pursuing my MBA at ICFAI. Why don't you consider pursuing a regular MBA instead of opting for the Correspondence program? My sincere request is, don't believe the notion that ICFAI is not reputable. It holds its own value, and personally, I can attest that it is one of the best schools to pursue an MBA.

Hi Sneha,

A regular MBA holds more weightage in the market. But since you are working, either of the institutes will be okay. The study material of SIMS and IGNOU is very good since I have seen a couple of my friends doing the same from there. I am not aware of ICFAI, but all three organizations are visible in the market. At the end of the day, how well you do in part-time courses matters - SCORING.

Hi,

First of all, I would like to suggest that instead of going for a PT-MBA, consider pursuing a regular full-time MBA if possible. If you are not willing to do that, then Symbiosis and ICFAI are both well-known institutes for providing PT-MBA. Nowadays, premier institutes like IIM-A, B, C, I, K, MDI, XLRI, and IIFT also provide management education through satellite channels, which is truly worth considering. These programs are conducted by NIIT-Imperia and Hughes Network System. Please visit www.dwge.com for further details. Please note that a minimum of 3 years of work experience is necessary to apply for these programs.

Secondly, it hardly matters which institute is offering an MBA degree or diploma. Even IIMs do not provide any degree to their students. So, do not worry and choose the best option. The rest completely depends on your knowledge, skills, and positive attitude to perform in the corporate world.

I hope this clarifies all your doubts.

Dear Sneha,

In my opinion, please don't go for Symbi or ICFAI for MBA Distance learning as nowadays every second person is doing this course, and it doesn't carry any value in the job market. Passing the exams of these institutes is damn simple and easy. Frankly, there is no real learning from these courses, and people are just using them as a rubber stamp.

Frankly, in my opinion, if you have a certain amount of experience in HR, then you should go for E-learning courses offered by all top B-Schools like IIM's & XLRI. You can get information about the courses through www.dwge.com & www.niitimperia.com or go to the XLRI website; currently, they are offering a course on HR. Personally, the courses offered are really qualitative and helpful, and simultaneously, they hold value. I have even done a course at IIMA from NIIT Imperia. If you need any help regarding the different courses offered by different institutes, you can freely contact me at nikhilkumar363@gmail.com.

Hi all! It's Ravindra.

I saw the post forwarded by Sneha regarding where to get admitted for an MBA. I haven't gone through all the replies, but the majority of the responses suggested various options. I believe it depends on Sneha or other candidates like her, their personality traits, etc. It doesn't matter where you are from; what ultimately counts are your qualities, regardless of the institute you choose.

You can consider applying to Symbiosis. However, I am currently studying at Symbiosis. There are two admission dates available, one in July and another around November or December. For more information, you can visit www.scdl.net to check all the details.
