Online distance MBA or Master of business administration in hospitality management is a 2 years post graduation course specialised in stream hospitality management. The course follows the semester wise modules. Each year has 2 semesters. Hence, the 2 years course is divided into 4 semesters. Please note that there are few major differences between online & distance education, thereby they are not the same. Major differences between them are NAAC, UGC & NIRF approvals are needed for Online universities whereas UGC DEB approvals are needed for distance universities. Secondly, the examination mode differs, in online mode you give examinations online, in distance mode you give examinations by going to the examination center. The third difference is its learning mode, online universities will have LMS Learning Management System whereas distance universities will have textbooks sent to you. Syllabus duration, eligibility & job opportunities will remain the same but only fees might differ.
