Question

Bhairavi Mohite · Answer

Hi, I feel a full-time MBA or PGDM is always better. I have heard somewhat about online degrees, but when I researched about it, I came to know that online degrees cant give enough corporate exposure. I would suggest you opt for a regular full-time MBA or PGDM degree from a good B-school. There are many good B-schools in India, but as far as I know, PIBM is really good, I have heard they have good placements and expert faculty members. PIBM had always been technologically ahead. Hence during the pandemic, students learning was continued through PIBMs in-house AI-developed learning management software. It helps in conduction online classes, real-time feedback from the faculty members, online assessment, even online internships, and placements.

According to the current scenario, You should pursue a full-time MBA because you need to invest your time and money for learning in both the distance and full-time MBA and there are few disadvantages of pursuing a distance MBA like Less exposure: Network and Market trends, No recognition from recruiters, No direct contact with faculty, No direct contact with faculty, etc. So, this is the right time to invest in your learning. But you need to take admission to a good MBA college that can provide you a better platform for your learning. As being an alumnus of PIBM Pune I would like to share my experience with PIBM Pune.
