Full Time

Hi, The difference as the name suggests is in the mode of study, both are designed for different sections of people and both are relevant looking at the cause for which MBA is being done. Regular courses are classroom session courses where students have to attend classes; this is nothing but Full time MBA which requires your complete commitment for two years. This is the most preferred by recruiters and organisations. Distance/ correspondence courses are more about self-study where the study material is sent to the student and they have to understand and learn it on their own. The main advantage of this is fees is low compared to executive and full time. In distance MBA, you'll have classes once or twice during the weekends, and you'll have exams twice a year. Hope this helps.

Regular MBA is the best options among regular, part time and executive MBA. Executive MBA is an intensive one-year residential or distance learning or combination of residential & distance learning programme created specifically for professionals with 5 years or more work experience. Executive MBA provides students with the same solid foundation in key management concepts and disciplines as a two-year fulltime MBA. Executive MBA course work is build on the basis of that students will have diverse and extensive work experience by virtue of which they will able to related to management theories and concepts. Executive MBA is rigorous as syllabus of two year is compressed in one year. Part time MBA are created specifically for professionals with work experience. Part Time MBA provides students with the same foundation in key management concepts and disciplines as in a two-year full-time MBA. Part time MBA course work is build on the basis of that students will have diverse and extensive work experience by virtue of which they will able to related to management theories and concepts. Mode of delivery of the programs can be distance learning, weekend classes or combination of onsite and other means of delivery of learning. Major difference in delivery of Part Time and full-time MBA is pedagogy. Full time MBA are taught by extensive case studies and group work whereas Part-time MBA has more of lectures. Full Time MBA students have easy access to teachers and fellow students for discussion leading to better learning. Full Time MBA provides environment for overall development of student. Full time MBA are able to avail campus placement facility which is missing in part-time MBA or executive MBA by distance learning. If you are not in position to undertake 2 years leave of absence from job due to personal constraints, you may op for Executive MBA. MBA by distance learning is third best option.
