Dear Ishan,
In three ways you can pursue MBA/PGDM program i.e Full Time, Part Time & Distance learning the differnce between them is :
Part time MBA
If you have substantial work experience [more than 6 years] in the industry and if you plan to stick to the same industry, go for part time MBA.
But at the same time, make sure that you enroll in a A grade college.
All said and done, part time MBA is not seen in the same light as full time, but a good college/brand name will suffice for that. And the reality is that it's almost impossible to shift career 180 degrees using your part time degree.
Full time MBA
If you are a fresher or have work experience of less than 2 years, I strongly suggest you to go for full time MBA. Also, if you are looking for a career shift [let's say from IT coding to sales/marketing], this is the right time to make that change.
After having stayed in the industry for 4+ years, doing a full time MBA/and a career shift, will most probably erode all your previous work experience benefits. And of course, it will hurt your ego to be treated as a fresher [thats a reality, accept it or not!].
Distance learning MBA Program
A distance-learning MBA is ideal for students who require maximum flexibility. The programs have no geographical boundaries and the only real prerequisite is an internet connection. There are two type of distance-learning MBA programs – the hybrid or blended distance-learning MBA or the purely online MBA. The hybrid/blended version is one that requires a certain amount of time be spent on campus (e.g . 1 week at the onset and 1 week before completion) and is therefore a blend between online and face-to-face. The pure online one as the name already suggests does not require these on-campus sessions.
Placements assistance depends upon institute to institutes .
Institutes like IIM,SP Jain,XLRI,Asia Pacific Institute Of Management,IIFT ,MDI will provide you 100 % placements assistance.

Hi Shiva,
The following are the different options after BBA.
Career options:
If you are a BBA graduate, you can seek employment from different companies that offer business management and sales positions. You can also work as a project planner, a production supervisor, and a business administrator. Usually, BBA graduates apply in companies that engage in the business of manufacturing, construction, retail, and finance. They can also apply for various government agencies.
Higher education:
For majority of BBA graduates who have decided to pursue higher studies, they usually get a Masters program, such as Master of Business of Administration (MBA), Master of Science in Computer Science, Master of Computer Applications (MCA) or perhaps attend law school. You can also opt to get a doctorate degree afterwards.
As a BBA graduate, you basically hold the golden ticket because you can apply for just about any business-related job that you want and be highly qualified for the position. With this degree, you become highly employable, so to speak.
Hope this answers your query.

If you plan to study MS in USA you better start preparing everything one year before you want to take admission. For example if you want to take admission in FALL 2014 session , then you should start your admission process from August 2013.
Step 1: Prepare well and take the GRE and TOEFL exam. If you plan to get into the top 200 universities of USA then better prepare hard and try to score 305+ in GRE and 90+ TOEFL. These are the minimum score required for admission in most of the Universities whose rank lies between 150-200. But if you want to study in the top universities be sure to score 320+ in GRE and 100+ in TOEFL. Those of you who donot have much idea about GRE you can log on to www.ets.org/gre . GRE exam is of 340 marks - 150 verbal + 150 Quantitative. Plus there is an analytical writing section which is score out of 6. TOEFL is of 120 marks . My more details about TOEFL in www.ets.org/toefl .
Step 2: Next step is preparing your admission documents. First of all send the GRE and TOEFL score online to the universities you plan to apply. Most universities have a deadline of 15th December for FALL admission. Fill the online application forms and send all your transcripts. You will also need to submit a Statement of Purpose stating why you want to study in their university and also most universities require 3 recommendation letters.
Step 3: If you are an international student then you would be required to submit the affidavit of financial support , showing that you have the money required for your studies in USA. Most public universities would cost you between 30000$-40000$ per year and private universities would cost you 40000$-50000$ per year. This amount is for international students including tuition fees and living expenses.However some public universities may cost you more than 40000$ per year and some private universities can cost you more than 50000$ per year. Of course you can reduce that expenses by doing side jobs or applying for teaching assistanceship and scholarships.
Step 4: Once you have been admission to a university , the next step is to let the college know that you will take admission and pay the required admission fee. Then college will send you the I-20 form which is required for applying for a VISA. Once you get your visa (F-1/J-1) then just get ready to have an amazing college experience.
