    There are numerous Universities that are offering the distance MBA in India but one must understand the importance of this as Distance MBA Enables Study and Job at the Same Time:- The course of MBA in distance education mode is designed in a way that it can be convenient for the students who cannot go to college to attend the classes regularly. The distance MBA program in India offers the same benefits as a campus-based course in that it offers the same curriculum. Another catch for most students applying to the program is that tuition and fees for distance MBA can be lower than that for a regular full-time program.
