IGNOU is best for distance learning MBA. IGNOU MBA course structure is pretty good. You will get to learn the basics first then the main concepts. The study materials are good and make the learning process smooth. IGNOU also has a better reputation.

Which is better between symbiosis and ICFAI for distance learning MBA?

Himani Rao

31 May 21

Symbiosis offers a PGDBA degree and ICFAI offers an MBA degree after two years of correspondence course.

The fee structure of both the institutes is the same so you should opt for ICFAI as the degree of MBA is more valuable than PGDBA. When it comes to job opportunities, the people with MBA degrees are given priority by the MNC’s. So, from the job point of view, pursuing MBA from ICFAI is more beneficial.

ICFAI gives placement to the one opting for distance learning so you need not worry about the placements in ICFAI. Also, it is unique as it provides certificates after every semester.

1st Semester- Business Basics Certificate
2nd Semester- Diploma Certificate
3rd Semester- Post Graduation Certificate
4th Semester- MBA degree

So, between Symbiosis and ICFAI, ICFAI is definitely the better choice.

What is the best choice for distance learning PGDM, NMIMS or Symbiosis?

Shruti Mishra

07 Jul 21

Symbiosis is one of the prominently known universities for full-time PGDM whereas, NMIMS is the university best for distance learning PGDM. One of my friends is studying at NMIMS and his overall experience of this college was nice.

Symbiosis provides a degree from SCDL and it isn’t recognized by any government board. Whereas, NMIMS is recognized by UGC and NAAC.

NMIMS has a proper examination center plus information centers. On the other hand, Symbiosis doesn’t have any information center.

NMIMS also provides great help to students with the following.

Online lectures with Live recordings.
Course books with extra materials to read or reference materials.
Books and access to e-resources from Digital libraries.
Assignments, Mock Tests, and Model answers.
Research databases, eBooks databases, and electronic journals.

Hence, NMIMS is a better choice for distance learning than Symbiosis.

Which is better between MBA from IGNOU or Symbiosis distance?

Aditri Sinha

25 May 22

IGNOU is better for an MBA compared to Symbiosis distance. The course work is challenging. It’s not easy to clear papers unless you go through the study materials thoroughly. The curriculum is a bit old but it’s effective.

If you are hard-working and have relevant work experience, you can get recruitment opportunities after doing your MBA. IGNOU MBA is even valid for PhD/Govt. jobs too.
