If an industry experience of 10 years with a part-time MBA can be replaced by a fresher or a candidate having 1 year of experience and with a degree from a tier 1 B-school? Kindly share your views.
Most of the employers, especially in India, are running after regular MBAs or degrees from tier 1 B-schools, irrespective of the amount of experience and knowledge the candidate is carrying.
In my view, everyone should be given a chance to prove his/her potential. At least this should not be a criterion for appearing in an interview. A change in the perception of Indian employers is very much required. What do you say...?

Dear Dipankar,
Perceptions always differ. It all depends on which side of the fence you are on and what kind of experiences your destiny tosses towards you. Recently, there was a discussion on the following thread. I, along with other members, have shared our views. To a certain extent, it matches with your challenge. You may go through the thread and give your second post on this thread.

Dear Dinesh,
Thank you for your comment. However, my question here is not about knowledge and skill. My question is: if someone has obtained an MBA degree from a traditional full-time program, does that mean they are more knowledgeable or skilled than someone who has already spent about 4 to 5 years in the industry and earned the same MBA degree through distance learning?
Please share your insights on this matter.

I would like to add my views of practical experience I underwent for the last 3-4 months in the job market. The people who are heading HR or handling recruitment function of an organization think only about the master's degree in a regular course and do not consider the work knowledge or expertise obtained through work carried out by a person along with a PGDPM by correspondence. This scenario in the industry will hurt experienced persons like me in the job market. Rather, they may have some benchmarking like 8 years of professional experience may be treated as equivalent to a master's degree obtained from a reputed university, 12-15 years of experience equal to a master's degree obtained from B or A or other higher-level institutions in India, which may differ according to the size or the nature of the industry. Hope the HR community will now focus on this and try to build an amicable solution to help experienced HR professionals too, who do not have a master's degree. Moreover, this concept has started growing very fast, and the responsible people do not even look at the profile to understand one's capabilities by considering the age factor. Please do not mistake my views or wrongly interpret.
