A full-time residential MBA from one of the top B-schools in the country is usually recommended, as it truly gives you the complete "MBA Experience". One of the many factors contributing to your learning at the B-school is the profile of the peer group. The mix of experience and educational backgrounds will enable you to learn from the experiences of other members of the batch.Also, a full-time program allows you to dedicate yourself to the course-work and be able to participate in a wide range of learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Further, corporate recognition and placement services generally focus on full-time students. Also, the contacts made at a B-school can help you throughout your career. It is comparatively difficult to develop the same kind of relationships with peers - or do the same kind of networking - that full-time students enjoy in a part-time MBA. The entire MBA program is so designed that the maximum benefit is gained from a full-time program. However, only if you have a personal constraint and cannot go in for a full-time program should you opt for a correspondence program like that offered by IGNOU. |
