MBAUniverse.com is with you in your quest for knowledge and provides you with a comprehensive account which explains A to Z of distance MBA. Below is an attempt to answer all the possible questions related to distance MBA that may arise in the minds of working MBA aspirants.
What is Distance Learning MBA?
Distance learning MBA is the Management education offered off the campus via postal deliveries of print study material and online delivery tools, which does not require the students to be present physically so as to suit the time schedule of the learners.
“Distance Learning MBA lends flexibility and convenience to the distance MBA takers. They get an option to learn online while doing their jobs. Their upgrading skills help them to implement assigned projects or, work in the field,” says Anand Sudarshan, MD & CEO, Sikkim Manipal University-Distance Education.
Who all should go for DL MBA?
All those who cannot afford the time to pursue full time regular MBA, either due to personal or professional reasons, can look forward to opting for Distance learning MBA. They include working professionals, those living in remote areas and cannot access the B schools, housewives thinking of starting a career and many more.
“Our programs are designed for working professionals. They are convenient and flexible. Students can learn from their office or, home through the resources available on internet. The books that are provided help to learn, even while student is traveling,” says Sudarshan.
From where?
With the soaring popularity of distance MBA, a plethora of Universities and Institutes have started offering Distance MBA. But you should be very cautious while choosing your center of Distance MBA, because there are institutes galore that are not recognized and yet claim to be so. Such institutes offer degrees that are not worth even the paper they are printed upon. So go for an institute only after a thorough check up of their accreditation status.
Two major authorities concerned with accreditation are Distance Education Council (DEC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
Below is the link which will help you check the accreditation of your chosen institute.

How is MBA offered through Distance Learning?
One of the most vital points to be taken care of, while choosing your Distance MBA centre is the instructional methodology. The way lessons are transmitted has lots to do with the efficacy of the degree you earn after finishing of the Distance learning.
Distance MBA no more means just print materials’ postal delivery. With the advent of sophisticated technology, distance MBA has got a shot in the arm. The new Distance MBA is characterized by application of faster online delivery tools like Edunxt, EduSat, etc.
The most preferred pedagogy is a well balanced mix of study kit, online tools and contact programs. IGNOU follows a multimedia approach for instruction which comprises Print Materials, Audio-Visual Material Aids, Counseling Sessions and Interactive Radio Counseling, while SMU DE relies upon Industry mentor chat, Webinars, academic mentor chats, videos, blogs, discussion forum, small group mentoring and newsletters. “We use a unique combination of distance education, e-learning and personal contact programs to create a hybrid learning environment to students,” says Dr. A M Sherry, Director IMT CDL, Ghaziabad.
