Considering a Distance MBA from XLRI or Symbiosis? Seeking Guidance on Next Steps

Hi folks,

I am in HR and currently pursuing my MBA from IGNOU. However, I am now interested in enrolling in a Distance Learning MBA program from reputable institutes like XLRI or Symbiosis. I would appreciate your guidance on the necessary details.

Thank you.

Hi!

Tell me one thing, if you are doing an MBA from IGNOU itself, then what is the need to pursue it again from XLRI, especially through distance education? In my opinion, there is no use in doing that. Kindly rethink.

Best wishes, EAFIL

Thank you for your reply. I am pursuing an MBA from IGNOU through distance learning and have completed only one semester. My organization has informed me that an IGNOU MBA may not provide significant value if I intend to transition into core HR and relationship-oriented roles.

Thank you, Dr. I am pursuing an MBA from IGNOU in distance mode and have completed only one semester. Our organization has mentioned that an IGNOU MBA may not provide significant value if I intend to transition into core HR and relationship-oriented roles.

Hi!

Good that you have decided to do an MBA from a reputed institute. Trust me, the value of an MBA comes from the inputs and the value additions a student gets from the institute and the faculty. I have done Ex-PGPG from XLRI. And trust me, it's the best thing that happened to me. I could work on gaining experience, and at the same time, I got to interact with the best faculties on the campus. My MBA would have never held such meaning had I not done it from this premier institute. And not to mention, the salary hike after I got my degree! :D

All the best to you!

Chao!

Dear all,

Focus on your skills, not on degrees. One degree is enough. Don't get deviated. Please focus on your interpersonal skills.

Hi,

Thanks, buddy. I want to do either an MBA or PGDBA from XLRI or Symbi. XLRI, I heard, starts in Dec with XAT. Symbi admissions are going on. Please advise me. How about ICFAI?

Hi Cite Contribution,

Could you please brief me a little about the process for getting into the PGP program at XLRI? What kind of experience are they looking for to get through this program, and do they have interviews or a written test for getting into the program?

Thanks in advance,
Shalini

I have completed a PG MBA program from NIPM (distance mode) and have around 10 years of work experience in HR. I am planning to pursue a PGPEX HR program from XLRI (in satellite mode). Do you think this will add value to my career?

Thanks,
