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.  Symbiosis Pune is also a good option for MBA. You can choose one of these two options based on fee structure and eligibility. 

IMT CDL will be a better option for pursuing a correspondence MBA course. The curriculum is updated according to the latest industry trends. The course material provided is good and weekend classes are scheduled according to the academic calendar. The MBA course is rigorous. You will have to put in the required effort to score decent marks. Also, IMT has an excellent brand presence in the industry. The alumni connections can help you a lot in job hunting. 

Both, Amity University Online (DDE) and Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) are very good institutes for doing distance MBA and you cannot go wrong with either of them. You should keep in mind that SCDL has AICTE approval and not UGC approval while Amity University Online is UGC approved and accredited by NAAC.  I have a few friends at Amity University, so I can give you a brief insight into the MBA program offered by the institute.  Recognition- It is the only university in India to be awarded the highest quality standard 9001:14001 by the American Quality Standards Registrars (AQSR) of the USA. It is accredited with a grade “A” by National Assessments and Accreditations Council (NAAC). All its courses are approved by the Distance Education Council (DEC). It is also the only university in the country to be accredited by WASQ of the USA. Rankings- It is ranked 33 by QS online MBA ranking for the year 2020. Amity University has been ranked 37 by NIRF in the University category and 41 in the management category for the year 2020. Specialization- The university aims to impart knowledge and skills required by students to compete in the corporate world through a rigorous 2-year program. It has 14 different specializations to choose from. These are listed below – Digital Marketing Marketing and Sales Management Finance and Accounting Human Resource Management Logistics and Supply Chain Management NGO Management Retail Management International Business Advertising and Brand Management Public Accounting Travel and Tourism Management Business Management It is tough to answer which is best as in an online and distant MBA course, the course pedagogy and specialization is more important than other factors such as campus amenities, facilities, placements, etc. As for the universities, you can choose either of them.

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. 

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. 

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.
