Hi it is good you are thinking about MBA at this point of time you can start preparation for CAT and can aim for CAT 2007 as it is right now some late for CAT 2006 when you are still in deciding mode.

Well what do u mean by valid ?? it is a valid degree but issue is what are you looking to gain from it.

at this point i wont suggest you togo for Distance MBA asyou r just in industry and it wont do good in short or long term. it will be better if you do some course related to software industry

thanks pal 4 ur reply,but i cant leave my job.i have 2 pursue MBA thro' either distance or part time methods.can u say should i gain more expereince in my field then venture MBA,or jus start now.


i had mentioned valid in the sense that does the industry values ppl with MBA degree pursued thro' part time or distance methods.

I am working in PSU Bank as a Clerk since 5 years and am CAIIB.

I am also doing CFA from ICFAI which leaves me very little time.

However, I was planning of doing MBA(Banking and Finance) from IGNOU.

But I wish to know how much effort is required to clear MBA Papers?
Are the papers very tough?

How much study time per week is necessary?

How vast is the study material (in terms of pages)?

How many books are there per course?

Is IGNOU MBA of any value for job change?

Will I be able to manager MBA and CFA both?

Please advise.

Thanking you,
