one aspect that comes about is that, as HR managers in the organization; we should encourage those students/learners who come from Distance learning background as they possess both theoritical and practical experience. today we find that even the IIMs in India are offering PG and eMEP programs on the Distance Learning platform. i have observed that learners who join the corporate from the distance mode are on par with the executives who have completed education in the campus mode.

| | Dear NDNISHAJI;
Love;
I remained on interview panel for many companies. And my experience says that degree is useful for entry only, finally your subject knowledge, grasping, intelligent, attitude, understanding, preparedness to shoulder responsibilities, leadership qualities and hardworking will speak, not your degree. So do not worry about it, if some company has made a policy to recruit only full-time MBAs, it is OK. As such this sense is developed after several bad experiences many company have faced. And you know in India and abroad more then 300 universities are operating in two to three room premises and offering MBA degree by distance learning courses. They are simply is the business of selling degrees. In past many companies have burned their fingers and as a precautionary measures, they do not entertain distance learning candidates.
I wish you concentrate more on your subject knowledge and other soft skill development rather then worrying about job. Remember right kinds of people are always in high demand.
Wish you good luck.
His Blessings;

Still - experienced people with an MBA in dist education mode (with a good university) have a good chance of being recruited.
Full time MBA also will be like fresher, and is of use only when he or she has experience.
But considering a fresher with fulltime education in MBA and a fresher with Dist education mode form of learning, I believe the latter has less chances of a good job. The learning is different. I hope you agree.
I know a girl (a fresher)
She has completed her B.Com and M.Com /through fulltime course this year. ANd she also applied for MBA and MIB (thru dist education mode) - and now she has 4 degrees (1 UG) and 3 PG. She has mentioned her kep skills on resume as JAVA, C++, ..etc.
I pity her. She should have stayed focused on one area, and probably completed her distance education course after gathering some practical experience. |
Hi Asha,
Your missing the point. What Nisha was crying foul about was the apparent mess that the current recruitment trend is all about i.e. hiring or giving preference to FTMBAs. Any recruiter worth his salt would know that distance MBAs are not considered by the cream of the companies, FTMBA is always mentioned in the job specification. Its a diff thing that FTMBAs with experience may excel in the job. BUt its not a given that, they are good as its assumed when a company prefers a FTMBA.
I still believe that the best corporate leaders and experts have always learned their business acumen through experience & not through a B School by giving presentations day in day out & copying case studies or downloading project reports from the internet or via a student from the previous batches.

| | Dear All,
In addition to the issue raised in the discussion, I've seen many of the companies "discriminating " students/ trainees/ freshers based on " patronised / non-patronised institute" when all the candidates have cleared the "SAME" elgibility criterio- GD/PI/ Acad etc.
Pay & perks varies grearly for such cases, can be upto 100% of the CTC.

| | | | This is very true that the candidate having professional degrees from Distance education are seen down under. Those are lucky who get thru these hurdles. I witness myself and few my friends whose resumes don't get shortlisted at the first step onlybecause we are BCA and MCA from IGNOU an Open University even after having sufficient experience and knowledge.
Though sometimes some company considers but many of them still have those feelings. I would like to Thank those company who don't have these feelings and take candidates only on merit.
I would like to request those company who still continues with this kind of policy to take ideas from other countries.
Completing degrees and diplomas from Open University is more challenging in compared to many regualr professional programmes, especially when I talk about IGNOU which provides one of the best Open education in the country.
People those who think us down under, I would like to request them to try any diploma/degree or even a short term course from IGNOU, then they will come to know the merit. | |

| | Hey all,
Its nice to see all ur comments... my take n what i have experienced is that nowdays company's are not restricting themselves to only so called FTMBAs, if a recruit has sufficient knowldege and expertise in his/her domain he has a fair chance to b on board even though he might hav done through distance education mode.
It depends upon the type of work profile too e.g a trainee position n no work exp required than here a FTMBA would be prefered over a non FTMBA.
N mind you in the years to come we may see a shift in our thinking...

why ignore these student even though they also elegible for the position.
please reply | It's really hard to say, but I feel that HR execs should at least interview these guys as at the end of the day only a face to face interaction can prove how capable a candidate is. India is very primitive when it comes to people and management and this is affecting us a lot. Policies like we dont hire MBAs from small colleges or Dist. MBAs not only hurts the students but also the companies and the economy in a long term. What is needed is something strong that NASSCOM & CII. | |

| | There is lot of different between full time and part time MBA. In full time MBA there is a lot of exposure, and the candidate is moulded, whereas in Distance MBA all you do is sit at home and mug up something and give exams and pass.
Look each and every thing in this world has demand, as per their need.
TEA is tea, but some people only drink tea at 5 star hotels and some people only drink tea at roadside tea stalls, but the TEA remains TEA, now you cant argue which TEA is good the 5 star hotel tea or roadside tea, because different people will tell different opinions, you can neither force a normal man to drink 5 star tea, he wont like it, neither will a rich multimillionaire ever drink tea at some roadside stall.
understand where you can get absorbed, dont aim for the stars without having a rocket.
Thanks |
