PGDBA or MBA that is the question

Finally after spending 2 years in Job I have decided to pursue a distance or a part time MBA, the decision was easy but the implementation is damn tough.
I want to do MBA but that's not it, there are some questions that are still unanswered and I would really really be thankful to so one who helps me with these.
These are my findings and of-course they can be incorrect, make a note that I am talking about distance MBA here

Things to keep in mind when you pursue the MBA:

1. Make sure about what degree you want to pursue PGDBA or MBA, if you ask me the difference I did ask that many people and every one told me that they are the same with respect to the course and syllabus
PGDBA means Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration and
MBA means Masters in Business Administration.
Which will clear you doubts here and how, PGBDA gives you a Diploma degree but a Post degree types which means if you have pursued BSC and then MSC you are a post graduate but if you have taken up BSC plus PGDBA you are still not a post graduate, you will still have to do MSC to complete your post graduation.
MBA gains a point here as discussed the name means a Masters degree so if you have done a BSC plus MBA you have done your masters degree and you will not have to do a MSC to get that into level


2. Second most important thing, just don’t do an MBA for the sake of doing it, make sure your university has proper affiliation
Now, that means the your university should be recognized as a valid and a proper guidance center, otherwise you might end up doing an expensive course which has no value in the market at the end, remember RAI University in Mumbai, it had the costliest courses and affiliation from some unknown place, people took educational loans from the university itself and all ended in a blunder when the university just closed, it not only took away the money but also some careers
So make sure the college has an affiliation from UGC which is University Grant Commission of India or some good university like the Pune University or Punjab University.
Note that Mumbai University also gives affiliation to collages for MBA but not for Distance MBA
3. The best place and the most valid degree of the Distance MBA can be perused through IGOU at New Delhi, which is Indra Gandhi Open University. It has training centers all over the world so that means you will not have to go to Delhi to pursue that.


Universities with a Twist:

• Wellinkar’s Insitute at Matunga
Nice learning and e-papers experience with the best in market guidance and cool campus.
TWIST: Gives you a PGDBA degree and is a DEEMED University so no affiliation

• DY Patil at Nerul, New Bombay
This gives you MBA with a lot of variety such as HR, BPO, Marketing etc
TWIST: This one is again a DEEMED university, DY Patil tried hard to gain reorganization form the Mumbai university but because it was based in Pune so then it made its own university as DY patil University and is still a Deemed university at the end

• ICFAI –
This is located in Ghatkoper in Mumbai, this institute offer you a MBA degree and from what I have heard you get a Dual MBA a well (Cute is doing her MBA from here)
TWIST: I am not sure but its recognized by some university in Allahabad or something, gotta dig into this

So what I found appropriate:

Symbiosis In Pune offers you a Part time MBA with a degree of PGDBA, the learning pattern is all e-learning, projects, presentations, and symbiosis has the most promising name in the industry today with PGDBA
IGOU- It’s a government and UGC recognized institute, has all India branches, really tough syllabus to pass through
IIM: IIM Ahmadabad will start distance learning courses shortly

Scoop’d up:

I would prefer not to go to the colleges that offer MBA degree from UK or other counties reorganization as they never got any reorganization from the India universities and has really less value in market same is the IIM in Kharghar who offers you an MBA program with a free laptop and stuff but its actually from Texas university
As mentioned above its entirely me and experience, you can comment and let me know if I have been wrong somewhere and I will correct it
