During the current lockdown scenario, is going for an online or distance MBA Degree better than a full-time MBA Degree in India?

According to my point of view a full-time MBA degree will always provide extra edged to the MBA course. As if we SEE in terms of holistic development of students in record to peer learning, corporate exposure, placements, a full-time MBA course will add a curve to your career than an online MBA programme. As I have done my MBA from PIBM, I have noticed that by seeing this vital situation in the past years PIBM has started conducting the classes through online, because at PIBM we believe that learning never stops and 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. After the current lockdown situation is temporary and once the situations gets back to normal, PIBM will start working as before. Even in this situation PIBM has started conducting Virtual Leadership Sessions to provide students with virtual corporate exposures. 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.

Hi, I think a full-time MBA or PGDM programme is better. I have heard somewhat about online degrees, but when I researched it, I realized 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. PIBM had always been technologically ahead. Hence during the pandemic, learning of PIBM students did not stop as it was taken care of by PIBMs in-house developed learning management software. In 2020, PIBM successfully placed its students in companies like Deloitte, CITCO, Xanadu Realty, and many more through online placements.

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. I have done PGDM in Marketing. Due to lockdown PIBM Pune also providing classes, internships, projects, etc. Through online mode. PIBM uses Zoom classes for classroom training. PIBM has its own smart app called CLASSROOM+ for the assessment of the students. Through CLASSROOM+ students gets their assignments, study material, test series, etc. Also, PIBM provides dual internship and corporate exposure through online mode. So, this is the right time to take admission if you want to pursue an online MBA. During the lockdown, PIBM students have grabbed the best opportunity and got placement in the top MNCs like Deloitte, RB, ITC, Dabur, etc.
