UBS University 18 is a fantastic start-up (2009 September). It is well structured and some professors are from reputde institutes including IIMs. I would say it is indeed worth going for it. the UBS team is excelllent and offers the students full support. The course is entirely taught on internet. The final exams are paper/pen exams though. Overall UBS university18 is a fantastic effort. The course comes from the same guys who are running distance mba for IIMK -MSL.

Hi ,
If U wish to go for a distance learning MBA degree. Then there are only two options, eighter you can go for IGNOU or for ICFAI. Other than that , every other university or college are giving a diploma certificate.
IMT and Fore are giving there own certificate, the value of which is slowly decreasing in the corporate.
Sikim Manipal and Symbiosis are giving only a diploma certificate, the curriculum of which is not even updated according to the industry norms.

The Best option would be to for IGNOU or from ICFAI, as they give a valid MBA Degree.

I am a professional and researched alot over this, before opting for a course myself. You can be in touch with me at [email protected]

Good Luck

I have done my graduation from Open University and some of my friends have done MBA/MCA from different institues thro' distance mode.

According to my experience :

1. Studying with job is very very hard. Because U wont be able to spend that much time. So always choose a course in which there is no assignment submition or assignments are of objective type only and online submission would be the best. Because subjective questions consumes sooo much time.

2. Exams must also be objective so that you can focus on fundamentals rather than trying to mug-up the long answers. And it's difficult to remember long long theories so the chances getting failed will increase.

3. Course must be flexible i.e. you can deside to sit in some papers in next term also. But then you will need to ask for the fresh set of assignments. Now these assignments (and all other forms also) must be available online. Otherwise in IGNOU I need to send a Registered Post to DELHI office to send assignments and that also come just one week before the last date.

4. And the course coverage should be broder rather then deeper because taking you too much in the deep would only leave you searching for reference books and expert's advises. On the other hand broader coverage would ensure that you have something to speak on every aspect of management as one's goal in distance learning is not to gain the mastery but to gain a degree to add the value to the resume !!!

Now the options available are :
IGNOU (the world's largest open MBA prog. Lowest Fees but dont join because the system if tooo careless & burocratice )
NMIMS (the most reputed .... but subjective assignments plus subjective exams)
SYMBIOSIS (most reputed after NMIMS ... and both assignments & exams are online & objective ... only in 2-3 subjects they have subjective assignments but exams are totally objective )
Wellingker (I dont know anything about it .... so no comments )
AMITY (Bad reputation)
IMT (totally e-learning MBA ... but entrance test is there )
ICFAI (too costly ..... otherwise very very good)

Now another point is recognision ( it comes in picture only if one needs to go for further studies in future ) according to the reply of my mail AICTE has said that NMIMS & SYMBIOSIS are not offering AICTE approved course !!! I didnt asked about Wellingker !!! IGNOU is approved .... AMITY has lost the approval now and ICFAI is a multi-state university so doesnt need AICTE's approval but his recognision is in danger.

So decide your criteria and personally visit the centre's of these institutes and specifically ask about assignments and exams.

Cheers.

Hi,

ICFAI University has its campuses across and Sikkim & Tripiura are one of them. You can take admission from any branches as they are proper branches and not franchises. ICFAI has more than 120 Branches in India and 14 branches in Mumbai itself.

For Free Prospectus you can call on 8898492120.

Thanks poonam.

But I have seen icfai sikkim and tripura prospectus. The curriculum and fee differs. It looks like all the branches of icfai functionally independent. Please tell me except for the brand name what is the similarity.

Yuvraj,


All the branches of ICFAI do not function independently and it has direct control by Head Office i.e. Hyderabad. ICFAI has same fees structure across India.

ICFAI has 15 Campuses across India and Sikkim & Tripura campus are one of them. Initially ICFAI provided Distance MBA only from Tripura but know it is also offering from Sikkim but curriculum its almost same, ya but there are few alterations made wherever it was required.

I have enrolled myself few months back from Nariman Point, Mumbai.you can contact Rakesh on 9773549548 as he had me out for my admission and had cleared all my doubts. Hope your doubts will also be cleared. All d best!!!!!

Hey Rohit,


I had the same question in my mind before I enrolled from ICFAI University. I had only 2 options open ICFAI & Sikkim Manipal as these are only 2 universities that provide MBA degree in Distance Education rest others provides PGDBA or PGDM, etc. One of my friend had enrolled from Sikkim Manipal and had very bad experience as there were many services problem and on the top it is not recognized in Corporates for placements. Hence, I opted for ICFAI and it is also ranked 1st amongst distance learning Universities. Go through the below link. for rankings.

Hi thanks for your advice...
I have been speaking to quite a few colleagues here & the only thing they have to say is that Part/Time /distance learning hardly has any value & the best option is Full Time.
But after working 7 years,it wont be possible to take a break from work....

Honestly want to know does this distance learning form ICFAI really help...in terms of getting a promotion or job in good corporate...
