Dear Dimple,
There are few things which need to be consider before joining a course from any Institute:
1. Are you getting a PGD or MBA Degree? Although, they are considered equivalent but technically both are different and MBA have more value than any PGD.
2. Is your university recognized? UGC, D

Hi Dimple,
I hope you are doing well. Coming to your question, an MBA is always better than a distance PGDM since the amount of learning and the concepts you strengthen yourself in is much more in a classroom study. But, since the job is equally important to you, you can go ahead with distance MBA

I doubt Kirthana as SMU is derecognized by UGC and Amity is not recognized by DEB.

Dear Dimple,
As in technical terms like recognition and course module, there is not much of a difference in MBA and PGDM programme. Some of the universities offer management programme as MBA and those institutes which have affiliation from other universities offer PGDM.
All the best.
