As a hiring manager NM or for that matter any part time degree isn’t viewed same by me or the HR in the company. NM and Symbi specifically gave this bad reputation that these degrees can be obtained by anyone with minimal effort. In Mumbai the best reputation for part time degree is for the IIM Indore’s Navi Mumbai campus having their part time course on weekends at CBD Belapur

There are only 2 best distance MBAs

  1. Great Lakes' Executive PGPM (offered by Great Learning) - They give tons of projects to work on and on completion you get a special link to showcase your projects and the skills you gained from working on those projects (Proof of Work).

  2. Bits Pilani's - MBA in Business Analytics - You will have to give a lot of tests & exams (throughout the course) (projects are comparatively lesser than Great Lakes).

Which one to choose?

  • Great Lakes one provides multiple specializations. Whilst Bits Pilani one is only in BA (other MBAs offered by Bits are not worth - the time).
  • Great Lakes one is of 1 year (you get executive alumni status). Whilst Bits one is of 2 years (you get WILP alumni status).
  • Great Lakes one you get "Executive PGPM (in specialization)". Whilst in Bits one you get "MBA in BA". Both of these have no mention of "Distance or Online". (So it's a plus point)
  • Cost of both the MBAs same (while you may consider 2.5L for 1 year is costly, someone else might consider it's worth spending 2.5L to save 1 year).
  • Both of these courses don't provide "jobs" (if that's your goal). Great Lakes one has an upper hand as they provide an internal job portal, and there's also some hiring priority sort of thing with their recruitment partners.

Note:

  • These MBAs are best among all the other "distance MBAs".
  • They are equivalent to executive MBAs (as they are executive MBAs).
  • They are not equivalent to full-time MBA programs. Here's a catch - They are worth more than a 3rd or 4th tier MBA college (anyone can get into those colleges). This also means they are of lesser worth when compared to tier 1 & 2 MBA colleges (though Great Lakes & Bits both are top-tier colleges - the reason is they are executive programs).

Do you guys have any thoughts on online MBAs from international universities? Are those viewed better by hiring managers?
