Hi Nadeem,
Frankly speaking if you are planning to make your career in India, it would be better to have a degree which is from an Indian University recognized by Indian Education Councils like UGC or AICTE. However, if you are planning for a degree from abroad it would have a value but only if it is not done from Indian study centre like few Universities have their online program running in various countries such programs will have no value addition in your career growth.
Hope this will be of help. Feel free to put up more queries. In case your query is resolved please close this question by choosing it as a best answer or pressing the thumbs up icon.

Hi,
As shiksha is an Education Portal which believes in giving unbiased opinion it would not be fair on our part to judge the two Institutes or give our personal opinion about these Institutes. However, amongst UBI & ITM, ITM Business School provides programs which are recognized by AICTE whereas UBI is an autonomous foreign Institute which is not recognized by any of the Indian Education Councils.
I would like to add here that few of the things which you should keep in mind while choosing an Institute are:
First and foremost the recognition of the Institute (the institute must be recognized by UGC or AICTE)
Secondly the course curriculum and the study material
The infrastructure
Faculty (there educational background),
Institutes placements
Also if possible go and visit their campus and try and talk with few of the current students of the program you are going to enroll for.
Hope this will be of help. Feel free to put up more queries. In case your query is resolved please close this question by choosing it as a best answer or pressing the thumbs up icon.
