I do not think at all that any education done from an approved place with honesty can be looked down upon. While doing CAT Preparation, it may not be possible to devote full time to a regular course so doing a Distance Course is safeguarding your gap year. Suppose I am a BBA or B.A. And I am preparing for CAT for MBA. I may start doing some PG Diploma in Journalism and Mass Comm or Advertising and PR. That won't do any harm, rather I can present that I did not stop studying.
