Hello to all,
This is Amit Sharma. I here want to ask one more question about MBA. MBA through open or distant eduction has less value in comparision of regular MBA, but "are there few ways by which a distant MBA can benifit someone?". What if someone cannt do it regurally due to some unavoidable problems?
looking for a reply......

An Open University MBA is only beneficial if you want a rubber-stamp for government or public sector jobs.
Even worse is to do it from the trashy autonomous schools which have mushroomed throughout the country.
If you cannot do a regular MBA, consider doing one of the pricey distance education ones by top Indian or foreign schools - they are good, and use internet extensively to add value to learning.
A good MBA helps your career - but the absence of one does not necessarily hinder it.
Bad spellings (check your post again) can prove to be a hindrance however, since it shows sloppiness.
When I get such letters from otherwise excellent applicants for jobs or seats in MBA institutes, they go straight into the dustbin.

Just a Humorous Observation: Guess after reading those postings....Amit’s regular or distance MBA aspirations looked distant. And Mr.Rahul Signature would read SOS(Strict On Spellings) S

Hello to all,
I was going through the B School survey's conducted by various magazines. There are around 1500 B School's in India. Most of them are not recognized by UGC or AICTE i.e they are run as private institutes. The objective of management education is to understand the different tools and techniques to manage an organization and develop knowledge, skills and attitude towards becomming an effective manager. However, I an sceptical how a correspondece course can provide this. I strongly beleive that there should be contact classes to develop skills. There should be projects to understand and develop attitude. Though knowledge can be acquired by reading books but that is only a part of the game.
The decision is yours. I have seen many young MBA's who are either unemployed or are doing a petty job due to lack of skills and attitude. Very few institutes provide the right platform.
Hope now you can take an informed decision....

I was a diploma elec. engg. with good acaemic numbers and with 5+ yr of good both administrative & technical exp. I have work exp. in SAP R/3 maintenance module, HR module a little working knowledge.I have got chance to do an automous 2 yr fulltime MBA and I have joined in it leaving my current job because i was getting salary increase but no increase in position.Now -a-days symbiosis has also opened a 1 yr evening PGDBM in HRM for dploma +exp., as me in pune i will try to do it.
I don'y know what is in my fate, but with your word it seems that ultimately i have to be a call centre employee because of no job for candidate like me.

Hello purnendu,
Dont feel disappointed.
You've got 5+ years of experiece, which is simply great !
An MBA would only add value to your career.
If you have a feeling that you've not done a good course, you can always opt for another course. Learning from an unrecognized college will not do any harm to you, may be no improvement.
5+ years is a huge experience as far as the present scenario is concerned.
Please follow this : Do a 1 year PG Diploma course from say Symbiosis. Or if you're interested in HR, try for XAT and aim for XLRI.
With your work ex, you're sure to land in a fabulous job.
Beleive me you are on the verge of making a difference to your career.
Try learning a lot.
(Dont worry you're not going to end up in a call centre - you're too good to suit such a job)
Best of Luck
