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 Ghaziabad distance MBA will be the better option. It is a leading B-School and offers industry-relevant management education. The course curriculum is updated regularly.

IGNOU is better for correspondence graduation. It has more courses available for correspondence graduation, compared to SOL DU. IGNOU has regional centers and examination centers all across the country. For SOL DU, you will have to visit Delhi, for examinations. In terms of coordination, availability of courses, and quality of education, IGNOU is the obvious choice for correspondence graduation.

IGNOU is better than PTU. IGNOU courses are better recognized in the industry. It is a trusted distance education institution in India. IGNOU has all the required accreditation. If you are planning on pursuing distance education, choosing IGNOU will be wiser.  

PTU degrees are valid. The university offers decent academics. But in industry, IGNOU degrees are more reputed.

IGNOU is better than DU SOL, for a BA General correspondence program. An IGNOU degree is better recognized in the country. You can get the online course materials easily from the official website. IGNOU has good lab facilities as well. 

It conducts classes and examinations on time. You can get help from the faculties online regarding any course-related doubts.

IGNOU is better recognized for distance courses. So, pursuing a correspondence course in MA Psychology will be better. However, if possible try to do a regular course in counseling, clinical or industrial psychology. Psychology is practical oriented subject, and you will need to do dissertations, practicals, and internships as a part of coursework. Being a practical-based course, the career outcomes of correspondence degrees in Psychology are somewhat limited.

IGNOU will be better for pursuing a distance master’s in Public Administration. It is one of the best universities for distance education in the country. The course content is excellent and the notes are well-structured.  IGNOU course materials can help in civil service examination preparations as well. 

Both Madras University and IGNOU are good options for pursuing a master’s in Public Administration. But if you have to choose one, select IGNOU.

Both Calicut and IGNOU offer valid distance education degrees. You can choose any of these institutes for a distance learning course. As degrees offered by IGNOU and Calicut University are UGC-DEB approved.
