Hi Abhinav,
If you are asking about National Institute of Business Management (NIBM) it is an autonomous Institute which gives correspondence courses and is not affiliated or recognized with any government body. I would like to add here that as there is no public rating or neutral ranking of the Institutes providing correspondence program they all are placed equally. Moreover, correspondence programs had a very little value or it would not be an exaggeration if I say that it has no value especially for fresher.
As government jobs generally require you to have a recognized degree I would not advise you to go for any such program which is not recognized.
However, there are other UGC or AICTE Universities which you can consider for MBA, few of which are:
IGNOU
Annamalai University
Alagappa University
Bangalore University
University of Madras
