Do distance MBA programs provide equal opportunities in terms of campus placements as compared to full-time MBA programs?

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.

In a distance or a part time MBA programme, colleges do not conduct a placement drive. A full time MBA programme gives you immense industry exposure to understand the real corporate world and its challenges. A Full-time MBA programme is definitely better than an online or distance MBA degree. A full time management degree helps you to explore the corporate world through real time classes, internships, industry visits, live projects, corporate interaction with top industry leaders from diverse sectors which is not applicable in case of an online or distance MBA.

In the Distance MBA programme, there is no placement process involved in distance MBA and job search and job change need to be done on your own. In the full-time MBA programme, a placement process is conducted at the end of each final academic year and students have the opportunity to get hired in the best of companies tied-up with the programme.

No, Part-time MBA or distance MBA programme does conduct and placements drive or inshort does not provides and placement opportunities to the student. Distance or Part-time MBA programme is pursued for the students who are working or want to boost their career by get a MBA degree. But according to my opinion Full time MBA programme is the best option one can go for, as its offers both in class training & learning experience through various experienced faculty members, experts, corporates and the industry exposure through Industrial Visits, Live Projects, Field Visits, Projects, Internships and Corporate Trainings.

As I have done my MBA as a full-time programme from PIBM and also has witnessed some of my friends pursing their via as a distance programme, I personally have found a lot of difference between the two programs. Many of things like proper interaction with faculty members, experiencing corporate sessions and interactions with the ace of the various companies, personality development by GD/PI, placement trainings before going for an interview, better campus placements, all these factors where missing in the part-time or distance MBA programme. Everyone has their ultimate goal to crack the best placement after pursuing MBA, therefore in that record you should go for such a college which provide full-time MBA, keeping aside of the current situation where the educational system has been currently conducted through online. By seeing the situation, after the current lockdown situation is temporary and once the situations gets back to normal, PIBM will start working as before. Therefore if you are looking pursuing your MBA, I would suggest you to go for PIBM. As Learning at PIBM never stops hence it has adopted new training methods to train its students for the upcoming job roles in different sectors through its own AI-based Online Learning Management System named Classroom+. PIBM continued with its Online Learning Model through Online Virtual Classroom Sessions integrated with real-time Faculty-Student interactions and with real-time feedback. Even in this pandemic situation, PIBM continued to provide summer and winter internships to each and every student, also the current batch of 201921 are placed with reputed companies like Deloitte, e-Clex, Cians, Dabur, Xanadu Realty, Reckitt Benckiser, TIAA, CITCO, DRE Homes, etc. With the highest package of 15lacs. Overall it is one of the best colleges to shape your future.

In this pandemic distance MBA is more or less equivalent to a regular MBA, but in terms of placement regular MBA might give you better opportunities in terms of campus placements.
