Hi to all the predominant members of this forum,
I solicit your valuable suggestions regarding pursuing a distance learning MBA in HR. I have 7 years of legal experience and am keen on doing an MBA in HR. Due to my current job, I can only pursue a distance learning course. However, a recent discussion on this forum suggesting that distance learning MBA programs do not significantly enhance a resume has left me perplexed. Nonetheless, I still wish to pursue an MBA as I believe strongly that HR is a very challenging field and the backbone of any organization.
a) If I opt for a distance learning MBA in HR, which institute would you recommend?
b) Alternatively, do you recommend an Executive MBA program over distance learning?
I would appreciate your responses.

Hi,
Opt for Anna University Chennai. They are conducting MBA distance education for 2 years. ICFAI MBA is disputed. Private institutions offer PGDBA or PGDBM. Feel free to call me for more details. I am a faculty member for MBA.

Hi,
Symbiosis is what I feel is the best compared to others like IGNOU, Anna University, and there are some short-term courses also conducted by the government which you might have to google around.

Hi,
I am pursuing an MBA in HR from Symbiosis Distance Learning. I believe that Symbiosis is a good choice for Distance Learning, as I am not sure if ICFAI is recognized. The assignments and exams are objective and online. You can choose when to take the exams, so there are fewer theory questions. The topics are easy to comprehend and can be related to your field of work for better learning. My advice is to pursue your MBA from Symbiosis.

I am currently pursuing DLP from Symbiosis. Some of my friends are enrolled in programs at ICFAI. According to them, it is quite challenging and not easy to manage alongside work commitments. Many individuals fail to complete the program within 2 years as they struggle to allocate the required time and end up failing in some of the courses. One of my friends had to resign from her job to focus on completing the program within the stipulated time frame.
Another disadvantage is that ICFAI charges around Rs. 1 lakh for the entire course, whereas Symbiosis only costs around Rs. 25,000. Nonetheless, it is worth mentioning that the curriculum at ICFAI is comprehensive and regularly updated. The curriculum at Symbiosis is also robust, and the study materials provided are well-explained.
Apart from these options, there are other institutions like IGNOU, Anna Malai, Narsee Monjee, etc. that you may want to explore further.

Hi,
I want to do an MBA in HR from IGNOU University. Please let me know if this is okay. I am a BA graduate with around 4+ years of experience in the HR department as a Generic HR executive. I want to know if they will conduct an entrance test to apply for the MBA because I don't have an idea of Accountancy or Business Management, etc. (Might they ask in the entrance test?). I also need to know if any nearby colleges will provide details to enter for an MBA from IGNOU University and what the cost is for the 2-year course. I am staying in BSK 1st Stage, Bangalore.
Is this an online course?
Please help me in this regard.

Hey, now that you have 7 years of experience, consider pursuing an Executive MBA program instead of a correspondence course or distance learning course. There are reputable options like IIM and XLRI. IIM Indore is currently conducting its admission procedure, so check it out before the admission closes. Additionally, XLRI Jamshedpur is also a good choice.

Hi,
Views on the subject have been expressed as per the knowledge and experience of an individual replying. One can't label X Institute as good and Y Institute as bad without understanding the issues involved. I would suggest the following:
(a) Qualification from any recognized institute has equal value.
(b) Symbiosis provides convenience/flexibility of appearing in tests online in your own time.
(c) At IGNOU, the advantage is that while being a student of the Management Programme, one can select the subjects in such a manner that he/she earns Diploma Certificates in various specializations so that the job prospects increase right at the end of the first year of the three-year program.
(d) There is an entrance test for IGNOU. The last date for application is 30 June for the test to be held in August 08.

Hi,
For distance learning, you can consider Symbiosis, Pune. For executive MBA, you need to attend classes. If you can spare the time, then go ahead with it. I presume they offer options between evening classes or weekends. Again, Symbiosis, Pune, is the best choice. However, do not delay in making a decision because admissions have already begun at Symbiosis.
Compared to ICFAI or any other university, I would recommend choosing Symbiosis. I hope I have provided a suitable answer to your query! :)

Hi,
As an HR professional with an MBA, I believe what counts the most are the skills that you have and your ability to work. That's all. If you are really interested in distance learning courses, then work hard on your skills and abilities. Please don't focus on AICTE, as it hardly matters much nowadays.

Hi,
In my perspective, Anna University, Chennai, would be the right choice. The predominant reason is that I'm a student pursuing MBA in that university. So, I know the value of it.
No university will conduct an online entrance exam other than this university, as far as my knowledge is concerned. This is one of the best features of this university. This can be a reason for its popularity and value in education. Anyone can join universities like ICFAI, IGNOU, or Symbiosis when they meet the minimum criteria and by paying money. When it comes to Anna University, an online exam will decide your fate, which is conducted across India in various centers.
The drawback is that the fee structure is a bit high when compared to other universities/institutes. I guess it can be because of the value that it adds when it comes to filling out a resume.

Hi,
I have viewed different opinions on your query. Before you go for any MBA program, please check for a few things:
1. Is the course approved by UGC?
2. Is the concerned University a member of the Association of Indian Universities?
3. Is the degree/diploma offered recognized in the industry/academics?
4. Is the curriculum industry-oriented?
5. Is the concerned university's distance education program recognized by the Board of Distance Education?
6. Is the course affordable?
7. Is the University offering this course a state university or deemed university?
8. Will the course add value to your CV?
If these questions are answered, then any state or deemed university is a good choice.

It completely depends on whether you are truly serious about pursuing an MBA. If you are, you can consider Symbiosis or Anna University in Chennai. However, these two universities are not as easy as you might think. I am currently pursuing an MBA through Anna University's Distance Education program, and I can share some insights. Attendance is compulsory, assignments and tests are part of the curriculum, and the experience can be quite similar to school life.
If you are aiming for an MBA solely to obtain a degree, you may want to explore ICFAI. They offer an MBA degree even if you have not taken the exams.
Please let me know if you need further assistance or information.

Before suggesting any courses, I would like to know whether you are a postgraduate or undergraduate. If you have completed your postgraduation, you can consider Diplomas, which would be very helpful rather than pursuing a master's in HR.

Hi, the same query but with one observation. As I am also interested in pursuing the MBA course (distance learning) and I queried with IMT people and they're offering a 1-year course in HR costing 20000 which you can extend also if you like the overall structure. But out of a hundred responses on this thread, hardly one or two talked about IMT. Why? I was totally convinced with them and about to enroll myself in their 1-year program. There are numerous replies on Symbi, the most talked-about university.
Please suggest.

The Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Administration offers a 3-year evening program for an MBA degree from Calcutta University. The program is designed for working individuals. Admission is based on MAT scores, followed by a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). This program is equivalent to the 2-year MBA day program offered by Calcutta University. To enroll in this program, you must be located in Kolkata.
Incidentally, admissions for this year have been completed. However, you can consider appearing for the MAT September exam to apply for the course starting in 2009.

Hi,
When considering pursuing an MBA, if your goal is solely to obtain a degree, you can choose any MBA institution that will carry similar weight. However, for a more substantial value addition, you might want to consider MDI - Gurgaon. They offer a part-time MBA course spanning over 3 years. If you are not located in the NCR region, HNGE - HughesNet Global Education is another viable option. The selection process and faculty at these institutions are from renowned establishments like IIMs, XLRI, or other top-tier brands, making it a promising choice for distance learning, believed to be the future of education.

Hi, I went through this same stage about 5-6 months back. I surfed the net for 3 months before I decided, and my decision was ICFAI. I don't want to discourage you from Symbiosis, but to be frank, I got quite a few bad reports about SCDL and maybe just 1 or 2 about ICFAI. I read most of the replies you received, and yes, ICFAI is a bit tough. The course is exhaustive with no shortcuts. It's as good as doing it as a full-time course in a class. The curriculum is the same for both, which is why they award you an MBA degree upon completion. Others mention Distance Learning. This is my understanding. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Regarding the cost aspect, SCDL is around 25K, while ICFAI is more expensive at 72K and not 1 lakh as mentioned by somebody. The 72K includes training classes, placement cell, etc., as add-ons, which are optional. The classes cost about 12.5K and placement around 5K, both included in the 72K. Additionally, this fee covers your first two exam fees. I suggest browsing this site for threads on ICFAI and Symbiosis to see the opinions before deciding. In fact, I have two emails downloaded on both that I can forward to you if you want.
For any other clarifications, you can email me at dostana19@gmail.com. While I am not an authority, I will try to share whatever knowledge I have.
Best regards.

Dear All,
I am Amrita, a student and an employee in the HR Department working under the payroll of ICFAI University. ICFAI itself is an autonomous body, and it is not mandatory for AICT approval. Most of the branded MBA institutes are not approved by AICT or UGC. Another fact is that the ICFAI MBA program is very good; its syllabus is updated and matches the current industry demands, but it is very tough to complete. Therefore, consider your capability to complete the course before taking up any MBA program.

Amrita

There are many universities offering distance education MBAs. However, if you have experience in the legal field and are looking to advance to a middle or senior-level position, considering XLRI (PGDBM HR via Satellite/Directway) could be a good option. This program provides a setting very similar to a campus environment, catering to working executives, and is associated with a prestigious institute.

Dear Sharma,
I had come across a similar situation last year and received many suggestions on this. Stick to your perception of the business school ratings and reputation from the last academic year. Symbiosis is a well-recognized institute, so go ahead with your choice.
Wishing you all the best.

Dear rsharrma,
I have been hunting for a good distance learning institute for MBA in HR too. What I discovered is that many institutes provide a Post Graduate Diploma, i.e., PGDHRM. I feel a degree is anytime better than a diploma. Hence, I would suggest you go for an institute that offers a degree. You can visit the following sites for further details:
1. www.indiamba.com
2. Ministry of HRD
Alternatively, you can search through Google using the following address: Distance Learning Institutes in India for MBA.

Hi,
You can join IGNOU because the study material provided by IGNOU is very good and detailed. However, you should have enough time to pursue it as IGNOU requires handwritten assignments for every subject.

Hey all,
My name is Shilpa, and I am working as an HR executive. I have 2 years of BPO experience but recently transitioned into HR. I have just started pursuing my MBA in HR from Symbiosis Distance Learning. The MBA program from Symbiosis is widely recognized. I know many people who have completed their MBA from there and are now working as managers. The best part is that there are no assignments to write as everything is online. The exams are objective type, and you can choose when to take them, which are also objective. The language used is simple and easily understood. While we can't compare a regular MBA with a correspondence MBA, out of all the colleges, Symbiosis is the best!

Hi, Mr. Sharma,
You can opt for MBA (DLP) from Madurai Kamaraj Univ. as I also did my MBA from there. Its regional center is at Vikaspuri (Nr. Uttam Nagar).
One more thing, obtaining a PG Dip. or a diploma 'equivalent to an MBA' does not hold the same weight.
You can reach me at 9350739101 for further details.

Hi,
In my experience, Symbiosis Pune is really worth it, and you would also have a good learning experience. On the other hand, ICFAI, Madras University, and Anna University have a good reputation, although they may be challenging to manage while working.
Additionally, studies should only be pursued if you are comfortable with the type of learning the institution provides. IGNOU is also equally good, and when comparing, B-Schools are always the best.
The value is appreciated when you have an interest in learning while working, which can be considerably tiring and difficult.
All the very best!

I think you can go ahead for the IMT 3-year PGPM flagship program. The course contents are elaborate and updated, and IMT holds a strong brand value. They also provide placement assistance now.

Hi,
All these ICFAI & Anna Uni degrees don't help to the extent we think it would. It's just for having an degree, that's all. But if you really interested in doing MBA/PG courses, you may want to think of Uni's like NMIMS ( <link outdated-removed> ) or programs offered by IIM-K, Symbiosis (www.scdl.net/), XLRI & ISB etc. These are among the premier institutes, which offers good education. And one more thing, if you are planning to do it from these institutes, you really need to study! All the best

Ashwin

Dear ICFAI (Institute of Certified Financial Accountants of India),
As the term implies, ICFAI is all about accountancy and has nothing to do with HR. My brother is currently enrolled in the CFA program with ICFAI. It is worth noting that ICFAI conducts programs in affiliation with American University.

You can try the online MBA from Amity University. The website is www.amitylearning.com. Try this as it has no physical classroom sessions, but virtual classrooms every weekend. And even if you miss those, you can always view them later on. It is truly an Online MBA - from registration to examination everything online. Fit for you as you are working and would have more value than distance learning because of virtual faculty interactions.

Dear rsharrma,
I heard there was something going wrong with ICFAI distance learning MBA. Can you tell me what it is? Is it not approved by AICTE?
AICTE is not obligatory for universities. Secondly, distance learning programs are approved by DEC (Distance Education Council), which ICFAI has already obtained approval from. You can see that I have attached a new thread on the same topic today only. For any clarification or elaboration, you can email me at

I assure you that all information provided by me will be unbiased, brief, fully informative, and valuable to you.
