Hi Sanjeev,
I believe the question is about what is the responsibility of so called managers who deny people just on education. As you rightly said before its all about grooming. Now the biggest mistake which the people who their PG in distance mode is they don't know how to sell themselves or they dont get a chance sell themselves because some one is recruiting without proper knowledge.
Let me know how many are there in this industry to change the quality of life of people from the bottom of the heart and also not giveup for any cause. This is the one which makes the difference. This is all about abilities of a professional to mentor his team and himself.
I wish lets see more participants on this. And more over I have demonstrated my leadership by hiring even some undergraduates along with the MBA's and I wish to inform you that I had the same good and bad as I had with my MBA's.

[quote="Sanjeev.Himachali"]Thanks...Vijay and Sujata...
Will it be more appropriate for companies to call everyone for interview and then eliminate that who have done their MBA through distance mode…in the selection process or is it more appropriate to call only suitable people for selection process? Let me know, which hurts less??
think u wld never think anything out of just eliminating the distance education students.if we r raising a voice to call us for the interview,it is for proving our talent and to get hired.at the same time the recruiter shld interview us and if satisfied with the knowledge and skill we have,can hire us.but u talk u dont invite distance education candidates ,just not to hurt them ,by calling them and reject them.y is that u r always thinking only of rejecting them.so,u mean to say just not to eliminate us for doing the course in correspondance,u r publishing in the advertisements that we shldnt apply,so u r saving our time and protecting us from getting hurt.
this attitude hurts than been eliminated without giving a chance.

Hi Archna & Sujata,
This is an interesting discussion. My point of view
Both forms of MBA are useful. If you are young and at the beginning of your career, it is always better to do a full time MBA as that has more market value. However, mid career, if you do not have an MBA and wish to add to your qualifications, it is not a bad idea to go for a good correspondence MBA.

Hi Premlatha
I do agree with you. They should atleast call each & everbody for interview and they should follow the same interview process. If they found them suitable hire them. Why make the policy of hiring only Full Time MBA.
Thanks Indrani for your inputs.
The question here is if we do part time / correspondence MBA, reputed companies don't consider our candidature. Why is it so?

Dear Sujata and other members who replied to this query... (Whether against or in favor)
In this era...in 21st Century...where "Time is Money" and "Talent is available in Abundance"...companies are very specific as what they are looking for. Hence, the selection process starts from advertisement stage itself. You might have seen various advertisements and Job Specifications...where they mention all or any of the following:
1) Age limit;
2) Type of Industry Experience;
3) Full time or Correspondence MBA (Some job advertisements also mention about type of institutes)
4) Geographical Location
5) Companies also mention that the candidate should have Passport and Visa...
These things are done to narrow the search and streamline the Selection Process.
Selection process of a “Human Capital” is very much similar to selecting a Greeting Card from the Gift Shop. You don’t need to go and see all the cards. Do you? Go to the section where you can find your type of cards; Look at the cost or range; Then you consider as for for whom you want to buy the card…hence look and appearance is important; then comes the content of the card. The other cards…that you don't even see…don’t feel neglected, because they know that if they are in the Gift Shop…someone will surely come and buy them.
I hope…this will help.

Dear All,
I dont want to write my comment just because, i have 3.5 years of generalist experience and over 4 promotions throughout start-up career, neither i want to comment because, i have over achieved all my targets so as to receive a appreciation letter from AT&T, Verizon, Cisco and IBM, i want to write something just because i feel that its not about the mode through which we do the course it is about the passion, hunger, and the urge to move ahead in HR. Today as i stand in the cross road, where even after giving my dedication and achieving success, when i am looking for a change all my achievement doesn't matter at all. It is MBA FULL TIME FROM TIER 1 INSTITUTE that matters the most.
The funny thing is , most of the BFSI have their CEO from Sales, and most of such industries do not require Masters Degree from TIER 1 institute, they need good track record and good experience, why because sales is all about dealing with people and selling them whatever the company asks them to sell.
Is HR not dealing with Resource, Is HR not managing the Human Capital ???
Grievance handling does not require an MBA from Top B Schools, it requires patience and a good listening ability. [Which i dont think needs to be taught]
How many top B-school teaches the practical recruitment cycle ??? No Top B-school will teach you how to recruit in different domain, they just teach "Recruitment Cycle" [Its not important if you just learn what is walking, the important thing is, if you can walk on the toughest of the road without any help].
Organisational development, today, is hardly done as taught on the books, it is done as per the management, and personally i think management is different as the company changes, then Will i know good OD if i study in a regular good B-School with someone teaching me OD with his management point of view???? Wierd but MNCs and even India companies think that that OD knowledge is better than a person working with different management and doing self learning on OD with correspondence.
Compensation and Benefits : Today majority of the organisation will go and do anything to achieve their sales target, do you really think they will give 1% importance to you bookish idea of BENEFIT?? think twice. Even the salary and the hikes of the company is decided on the SALES that they do in a year not on how good the TOP B-SCHOOLS HR Manager are managing their resources.
Pay-Roll : In any given organisation if a person who is a 12th pass, given a training on PAYROLL for that organisation for 1 month, he will be able to do it better than any HR, who is a full time MBA from TIER 1 college. Comment if anyone disagrees.
My friends am not that experienced and matured as most of you are here, but i have seen and felt the partiality that is being done to the correspondence degrees, please dont do that, its not a SHEET OF DEGREE that makes a good HR, it is the attitude and the knowledge [which is not necessary that a regular MBA has more than a correspondence MBA].

If you have the money and time, full time MBA is the way to go.
MBA is different from other courses in that apart from books, a lot of learning comes from your interaction with your peers and classmates which is missing or reduced significantly in part time MBA.
If, however, you don't have money or time to do a full time, then the next best option is part time. My suggestion is, if you can - go for full time.
Companies prefer a full time MBA over a part timer for obvious reasons.
