Hi,
Although, Sikkim Manipal University is UGC & DEC approved & you may apply for govt jobs through this degree but , whether or not you will get a job after doing a distance learning program is very dicy. As distance learning programs has very little or it would not be an exaguration if I say no value in the job market, especially when you are a fresher. Distance learning programs are generally for those working professionals who have good amount of work experience in the Industry & just want a degree to get to the next level in the organisation he is working for.
However, if you still want to go for Distance learning program then I would suggest you to explore the other options as well, as there are several Universities which give distance learning programs like Amity, Annamalai, IMT, Anna University, Algappa University, University of Madras, Bangalore University, Pondicherry University.

Hi Jojo,
I am just trying to understand being a graduate in Engineering why you are not looking for job in your own field. However, I would suggest that first you need to decide on the field you want to pursue, then it would be easier for us to guide on the various courses available in that particular field. If you have interest in finance and accounting you can opt for different certifications in this field like CFP, CFA etc or can go for short term courses in acturial sciences. Few long term programs in this could be CA, CS, and Masters in Finance & Accounting or MBA with Finance as a specialisation.

Hi.
That is a very interesting question you have asked. Other then the GMAT and IELTS, there are several components in your application which are very important. Please find below their details:
1) Under graduation percentage: It is always recommend to have a percentage higher than 75% if you want to apply to a top school in Canada. It is also a requirement by top universities in Canada like University of Toronto(Rotman), University of Western Ontario(Richard Ivey) etc.
2) Letters of Recommendation: You have to be very careful in choosing your recommendations as they play a very important role in your admission decision. Referees chosen must be direct supervisors, or reporting managers. Basically, you should choose a referee under whom you have directly worked for atleast 6 months or more.
3) Statement of Purpose: It is a 1500-3000 words essay through which you let the university know why you want that particular university. A bad SOP always leads to a rejection.
Hope my answer has solved your query. If it has, kindly mark it as best answer.

Hi Abhishek,
BBA (CAM) is a good option. It is basically a program wherein you will be taught about computer fundamentals & laguages and make you learn to interface those fundamentals with business administration. So you can take BBA (CAM) if you have a bent of mind towards technology. It will be a good blend of technology and management. BBA would be a general Business administration program.
However, the career scope of a program would largely depend on how you perform on the program and how you utilise the skills earned at the time of job placements.
