INTRODUCTION

“Learning is like desires which are unlimited in one’s life”. All of us keep aspiring for fulfilling our desires throughout our lives in one form or the other. Every human being, irrespective of status and education wants to excel in his / her profession by acquiring professional competence. The growth of an individual is related to his knowledge, professional skills and passion for achieving the goals. All these Qualities Contribute towards the abilities of an individual. In an organization, every competent individual, irrespective of post / appointment, would always endeavour to be one among the top performers so as to contribute whole heartedly in the growth of the Industry. The vast arena of management education is like a field which has abundance of job opportunities. Presently, India is an accepted developing country with influx of multinationals offering various types / status of jobs. The industrial revolution in the country is equally applicable to all kind of corporate houses including Production units and service sectors such as Hospitals, Hotels and banking etc. These all industrial houses are having great hopes on expert management graduates who can provide excellent and experienced managerial skills in all types of industrial activities and the Distance Learning Management programmes offered by DLI, BIMM Pune are solely aimed at enhancing the existing skills of those up coming and competent executives.

The human sprit continuously urges people to know more, and Distance Learning helps them to sustain that spirit. Distance learning is a field of education that focuses on Technology and Instructional System Designed to deliver Education to students, who are not physically present in the Class. The courses are conducted through intermingled learning methodology combining different forms of learning namely printed study materials, CD’s/Internet based learning (e-learning) and faculty interaction etc.

One important benefit and difference between a full time Management programme & Distance Management program is the asynchronous sessions. Distance Education enhances the convenience and flexibility of the students. Whenever you have time, you follow forums and take the exam. Also the opportunity to review classes and discussions several times is extremely valuable. This is the only way to have the time to do MBA for many Managers, and of course it is also valuable for participants, sitting in different time zones and places.

An online MBA is mostly attractive to people with financial constraints and those committed to work or family or suffer from the issue of access to higher education. The most obvious advantage of online MBA is flexibility to study and learn when ever you want. You are not time bound and can fit the online schedule in your working life. One can choose his/her time to pursue studies as per his/her schedule.

One of the main concerns that the students have is that there will be no student teacher or peer interaction, and hence their learning process will be in-complete. This may be true for many online programmes, but some of the Programmes give you the option to attend online classrooms where you can discuss various topics with fellow students. Another common concern is the validity of Degree they receive. Hence we have ensured that, the Programmes we offer in various Management Specializations are approved by DEC. Possessing an online MBA degree will not necessarily reduce your chances of getting a job , provided you have the skill & Qualification , your employer is looking for.
