Hey Afnas

Pros of pursuing MBA from IGNOU

  • Flexibility : Flexibility is one of the key highlights of pursuing IGNOU MBA, especially for working professionals. By pursuing MBA from IGNOU candidates can study at their own pace and can earn as well as learn at the same time.
  • Cost-Effective : Distance MBA from IGNOU does not burn a hole in candidates’ pockets as compared to a regular MBA programme. The course fee of a distance MBA course from IGNOU is quite low and affordable for most candidates.
  • Comprehensive Study Material : IGNOU MBA offers one of the best study material to candidates prepared by professors from top institutions such as IIMs and IITs. Therefore with IGNOU MBA, candidates get to learn a lot within a limited period of time.

Cons of pursuing MBA from IGNOU

Less Exposure : One of the major drawbacks of pursuing a distance MBA from IGNOU is that the course does not provide much exposure to candidates. Unlike regular MBA students, candidates do not get a chance to interact with classmates and various other people in the industry. Also, learning market trends from live experiences and case studies is not possible for students pursuing IGNOU MBA.

Less Recognition from Recruiters : Although IGNOU is one of the most reputed UGC recognised universities, recruiters usually prefer a regular MBA candidate over a distance MBA one. Also, the salary is not quite encouraging for distance MBA students as compared to regular MBA candidates.

No Interaction with Faculty : There is no personal interaction with teachers which affects the learning of IGNOU MBA candidates. It is very difficult to study comprehensive books without any mentors. Therefore, it is very important for candidates pursuing MBA from IGNOU to follow a disciplined routine along with sincerity towards studies.

Hello,

I think if you want to pursue the distance mba course then you can joi IGNOU but if you have time and age then you please prepare for CAT and then join MBA.

In other hand distance mba from IGNOU is no doubt very good. Obviously it have some benefits. Those are as follows:-) 1) You should able to show ypur commitment towards learning except various constraints.

2) You should able to gain knowledge and add accolades to your profile.

3) After degree you have a chance to have a requirements.

There is no specific demerits but if you compare a distance mba with a normal course then you have some dissimilarities but over all it is good.

Hope for the best.

Thank you.
