I too admit that a full time residential course may the best education one can have. In this country of reservations, you know pretty well that getting admission in B Schools is very difficult and again the cost of education is also very high. Any one going in for a Distance education is doing it for the above 2 reasons only. They put in lot of efforts in learning and passing out. They just not get information and knowledge which a full timer gets from the Institution, the faculty and the library and facilities available to them. When opportunity exists, people defenitely proove that the getting educated through Distance learning is as good as in campus full time lerning. RG RAMAN
