Part time education is especially beneficial for working professionals. Many part time courses are being available to students, working professionals and housewives. There are many colleges and institutes that are offering a part time MBA course for students. An individual may not have luxury of spending two years at a residential B-school hence part time MBA helps him or her to complete the education at the same time work or pursue their current activity. There may be people who do not have money to pursue a full time two year MBA hence this course can benefit them as well.
Part time MBA has many plus points. Classes for part time MBA are generally conducted in the evenings after working hours and on weekends. Most working class executives who already have a work experience and do not wish to leave their job to pursue MBA can join part time MBA. Such courses are very famous in foreign countries. These courses are now being popular in India as well. Classroom assistance along with online training is provided. Since the institute knows that sometimes it gets difficult to cope with work as well as study pressure, these institutes offer the flexibility of attending alternative classes and students can also decide the date of their examinations. What more can a student ask for!
Some of the famous institutes in India offering a part time MBA are Symbiosis Institute of Management, IGNOU (Indira Gandhi Open National University), MET (Mumbai Educational Trust) etc. The fees for part time MBA is not as high as full time MBA. However, what needs to be kept in mind is that the institute or the B-school from where one is pursuing the course should be accredited by a reputed agency such as the AICTE ( All India Council for Technical Education).
Some people feel that part time MBA does not have as much credibility and value as full time MBA course. It totally depends upon your performance at work. Since the individual is already working, he or she has more work experience advantage. Many companies sponsor the employee’s part time MBA fees because they do not want to lose him. To retain employees who are a big asset to the organization, MBA for them is sponsored by the company.
