I think Rashmi has told the truth but not the whole truth. First, Part time course from reputed institutes adds value. Even if there is nof formal placement data shows that almost 50-60% of the people change their jobs for better during a time span of 3 months to 9 monts after completing the course. But it greatly depends on where you do it. Institute does matter in such cases. Second, Even for part timers its about structuring your thoughts and provides a value addition infact more than what a full time freshers might feel. Infact, India is the only country where you dont need to have any experience for doing an MBA. A guy who does not even know what an organization is would study in his first terms About organizationl behaviour, Structure & theory. The Situtaion really calls for a indepth analysis of our selction criteria.
And i think in most of the institutes atleast the premier ones, part timers are infact respected by full timers. The problem comes in interaction mostly due to the fault of part timers where they dont have the time to spare with their already busy schedule.

Hi, JP, Robin here. Can u mail me the full of IIMC. aaaaaaaas I ama interested to doing MBA.
Yes , I agree. I did my MBA-Finance from FMS, Delhi university (1993-1996 Batch) with a Ist Division. I am currently doing CFA also. Still whenever I apply for any position for better prospects. The negotiations just end on this aspect that I did my MBA in part-time. This affirms the issue , you rightly raised. In fact the part-time MBA should be considered at Par with Full time MBA, because doing Part-time MBA from Institute like FMS is very demanding and Professors expect lot more from working executive than the freshers.
May god bless part-timers. Employers please ponder on this issue. We also get admissions based on written test and Interviews etc. and complete same course-ware.
