Hi Roni,
Basel III (or the Third Basel Accord) is a global, voluntary regulatory framework on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity risk.
Basel III" is a comprehensive set of reform measures, developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, to strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking sector. These measures aim to:
- improve the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, whatever the source
- improve risk management and governance
- strengthen banks' transparency and disclosures.
As far as my knowledge there is only one institute- Edu Pristine offering Online Basel III certification in India.

It depends upon what your present qualification is and where you are now. The "MBA" alphabets will add some color to your resume and to your personality in the following ways:
1. You already have a job with not less than 5 years of experience and wanted to move ahead for management positions. So, as soon as you put this MBA in your resume, it will always reflect the better you - whether it is the value of paper or not because you need no training or no extra knowledge but need some paper to support you.
2. Generally, the graduates and IT graduates in particular join and grow slowly and at times, they wish to apply for assistant manager or manager positions - (whether it is IT industry or any other for any graduate) having good exposure, initiative values and innovative skills and then they need a support of the paper degree.
That is the time when you feel that you need something extra to your mere degree. If that is the case, go for it.

Give wings to your dreams. Restart your professional career. Looking at both the options I am assuming that you are asking the question in context with working professionals. Both these options have their pros and cons and to make the most of these you have to be very particular about choosing the one that suits you best. To elaborate, Part-time MBA suits well for working professionals who have fixed day offs or can manage to attend a few classroom sessions. There are some institutes such as Welingkars who offer the facility of industrial visits for part-time programmes. Basically, this option is best suited for a fresh graduate or someone alike. This is also better if you are a fresh graduate and want a bit of networking in the industry. The distance MBA might not be the right choice here which works better for someone who already has enough work experience and connections. Now for distance MBAs, one has to compromise on the weekend classroom lessons. But this is best for someone who wants the convenience and flexibility of studying whenever and wherever. For working professionals who have to travel a lot or for someone who has to avail quality education from a remote location where it might not be available.

Dear, Your learning. It depends how self disciplined you are. If you don't schedule everything well and learn, it won't add much value
The value HR managers the world gives for distance MBA. It really depends on your recruiter. There are HR managers who think its a complete waste and many others think otherwise. It also depends on how you market yourselves. MBA Tag
Again it depends how the other persons view. Some people blindly give too much importance on the MBA tag. Don't think the MBA tag will magically allow you to move into bigger roles quickly. ROI
It is not bad a investment and it does not come with high opportunity cost. Low risk, chances of your returns are also low. Two types of people who do distance MBA. For the sake of certification.

Hi Tiwari,
Executive MBA is normally pursued by working professionals with anywhere between 8 - 10 years of experience. An Executive MBA program is a full time program. Most of these candidates are sponsored by their companies. The duration of the program is one year and it is a very demanding program.

Hi Tiwari,
Both Online and Distance MBA are good to purse but one's choice should depend on one's situation.
Distance MBA (Masters of Business Administration) program is imparted over long distance with the help of modern technology and communication facilities. It is designed for individuals seeking to pursue higher education alongside their job.
This is ideal for professionals who do not want to quit their regular job and still want to add on to their qualifications. Freshers who are starting off in the industry can also benefit from this. With technological advancement, distance learning can be your first choice of study. Depending on the candidate's profile, the kind of opportunities will almost be similar as regular MBA.
An online Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is a form of distance learning program that uses virtual learning platform or e-learning to impart lessons. All you require is access to active internet connection or ability to reach the city-specific virtual learning centre. Simply put, online MBA is somewhere between a regular MBA and correspondence MBA.
Individuals from other fields who want to pursue a career in management can go for an online MBA program for their career development. Managers wanting to strengthen their credentials or who simply cannot disrupt their lives can earn specialised licenses and certifications through an online MBA program.
