Hi Hanif,
I read the post & all the comments. Loved the way you have included all the essential details in your post.
I started my MBA through distance learning fRom IMT Ghaziabad. My 3rd Sem exams are going on & I have to choose a specialization next Sem.
I actually did my graduation in BCA, & gave a year’s gap because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do MCA(& did Cisco certification courses to keep myself indulged, CCNA & CCNP). When i started MBA I had already joined my father’s business, & I’m currently helping my elder brother with his business. I had thought that maybe this is what i wanted to do all along.
But lately I have been reading about MBA in Marketing, HR & IB as these are the fields that I feel I’ll be good in.
Please guide which field shall be more fruitful for me, & if distance learning will actually hold a good value in my CV considering my background.
Best Regards
Jasdeep Singh
