    Hello, well MBA from a good College does matter as there you will get a surrounding of competition and new ideas and strategies how actually to work which you cant get through bookish language, so I will suggest you to complete MBA from a good college and hence do internships and training to improve your CV.

    Very less. I would suggest you to go for regular MBA. I yoo was thinking about distance MBA but I heard about its disadvantages. So I cleared CAT with94.5% and got into Doon Business School, Dehradun.

    Their are three types of recruiters:
    Campus recruiters: These recruiters focus on a long-term, relationship-based talent sourcing strategy.
