Why More And More Indians Are Choosing Distance Education
Time is Money: But Part-time or Full-time? That is the question that is vexing many young Indians today
. Many aspiring graduates or post-graduates often scratch their heads over the problem of distance education. This brain-racking problem presents what could very well be one of the most important decisions you makes in your lifetime.
The climate in India
In India, the problem was particularly acute until a few years ago, since, compared to the west, there is a distinct lack of awareness about distance education in the country. This ignorance, when coupled with prejudices about a part-time degree (What if I dont get a job?) has historically been at the heart of why many young Indians are hesitant to pursue a degree in distance education.
Fortunately, it seems that things are rapidly changing for the better. The distance education sector in India is growing at a brisk pace. Many Indians living in remote towns and cities are availing themselves of correspondence courses offered by the top institutes in the major cities. Moreover, a part-time correspondence course allows you to earn while you learn, thus ensuring a steady stream of income as well.
Working while learning: The Employee-Employer connection
Even companies are increasingly realizing that it is ultimately to their advantage if their employees have more degrees to their name. Employers themselves often sponsor their employees distance education programs (partly or fully) so that the companies can benefit from their employees newly acquired knowledge. Such an arrangement also allows a company to retain an employee while he/she is pursuing the degree. Many companies make employees sign bonds to stay with them for a few years after the completion of the course, which most employees are more than happy to do. Who wouldnt, if the company pays for your degree?
Moreover, particularly for management and business programs, a degree in distance education allows you to apply the skills that you learn in a practical environment simultaneously. It allows you to sit in the comfort of your own home and learn more or less the same things that your full-time counterparts are learning in classrooms, miles away from their homes. With growing awareness about distance education in India, people are slowly realizing that a correspondence course has its own set of advantages and can be almost as lucrative and rewarding as a full-time degree.
In view of todays competitive and globalized industrial set up, the demand for management professionals is high. Managerial skills come into play in every domain of business operation, making the various MBA specializations, deliver specific expertise to the industry.
Catering to the huge demand for business management, distance learning courses in MBA are the best option for working professionals and students starting afresh.
The distance learning mode doesnt disrupt job continuity and equips working professionals with a professional degree, heading them towards steady career progress. Add to that, through a distance learning course employers get the benefit of using the existing workforce for expanded job-roles, without having to invest on induction and training.
Students on the other hand can seek early entry into the job industry and gain valuable work-experience, while studying in the distance learning mode.
The SMU-DE MBA programs will equip candidates with:
Core managerial skills, covering the major areas of management, with equal emphasis on the elective modules of management studies
Practical knowledge of management operations through real-time market scenarios, case studies etc.
Analytical skills, which will help in competent and critical decision-making
Technical and soft skills to take on the increasingly competitive, international business-scape.
