I am a graduate Human Resource professional with more than 8 years of international experience. Now, I am planning to pursue my Distance MBA from IMSR Autonomous (Indian Management School and Research). However, I am unsure of how valuable it is in the market. Please advise me.
I am aware that it is not approved by UGC or AICTE, but I still need to know if an MBA from IMSR is considered in MNCs or Private companies.
I am eagerly awaiting your reply. Thank you in advance for helping me out.

Dear NK,
Please clarify first whether your specialized subject of graduation is HRM or if you simply completed your graduation in another stream.
Secondly, why did you plan to pursue your MBA from an institute like IMSR, which is not approved by UGC or AICTE?
Thirdly, with 8 years of experience in HRM, why do you feel that completing an MBA in HRM would give you an added advantage in your career?
In my opinion, it is always better to engage in specialized training in HRM from a reputable training institute. This will not only help you understand the field thoroughly but also aid in developing your skills in the HRM sector.
I believe that accumulating multiple degrees is not the solution to gaining more opportunities than others. Instead, having sufficient knowledge and skills in your subject or field of work can be a significant advantage for your career.
Do not waste your hard-earned money by investing in unaffiliated or unapproved institutes.
With thanks and regards,

Thank you for the valuable advice. I completed my graduation in Financial Accounting but am facing difficulties in finding a job, as most companies require an MBA with HR experience. I do not have an HRM Degree, which is why I am considering pursuing an MBA in HR. Could you please help clear my doubts? Additionally, if you know of any institutes offering certifications in HR that would enhance my resume, please do let me know.
Thank you.

I understand you are just planning to do your MBA and have not yet registered for the course. I would suggest you reconsider your decision based on my observations below.
1. It varies from company to company whether they will consider you with an MBA in HR (not recognized by UGC/AICTE). Most MNCs (IT & Non-IT) prefer full-time MBA graduates for entry-level positions. For middle-level positions/experiences, companies with effective recruitment models will have a condition of requiring either a full-time MBA or a part-time MBA from recognized universities.
2. In your case, a full-time MBA is out of the question. When there are many universities in India offering distance MBAs (recognized by UGC/AICTE), why would someone prefer to spend more money on an unrecognized one? Consider changing your decision. I can suggest better universities that offer distance education and have wide acceptance.
I hope this advice helps you in making an informed decision.

Thank you for the valuable advice. The reason I was interested in IMSR is that I can complete it in one year. If I enroll now by December 2012, I can finish it. However, with a UGC/AICTE-approved university, a minimum of 2 years is required. This means I have to wait until December 2013, and that's the only thing I am worried about.
Once again, thank you, Mr. Sriram.
