What is a Correspondence or Distance Learning MBA (Masters of Business
Administration)?
As the name suggests, distance MBA programme is pursued via correspondence, i.e.,
remote communication between two parties. Education in this format focuses on
imparting lessons to students, who are not physically present in a classroom.
Who should pursue it?
It is chiefly meant for people with limited time and resources. A working professional,
fresh graduate, or stay-at-home mother anyone interested in pursuing an MBA
course can opt for it. All one requires is a bachelors degree, meeting the course
eligibility criteria. Cost of the course is much less than regular or part-time MBA.
MBA is often deemed necessary to climb the ladders of corporate success. But, it is
very difficult to juggle work, family and study. Hence, an effective hassle-free but
quality management degree becomes essential. Qualitative education is crucial.
Correspondence courses are convenient for working executives. There is no financial
instability for the candidate or the requirement for geographical relocation, says,
Anuradha Manjul, public relation officer, IIM Lucknow.
However, distance mode education requires dedication and disciple. Absence of
regular or part-time classes can lead to distraction and students not taking up lessons
properly.
Study Material in Correspondence MBA
Generally, students are provided with study material (manually mode or online) and
assignments, which need to be submitted within a specified time period. This is
followed by semester-wise, bi-annually or annual exams.
Distance-learning business education is a resounding success story. In America,
specialist universities, such as the University of Phoenix, have hundreds of thousands
of postgraduate business students enrolled. In India the total is probably in the
millions, states a leading world magazine Economists.
Let us take a look at some of the leading management institutes offering
correspondence or distance mode MBA.
