It is not recommended that you pursue an MBA through distance learning at IMT Ghaziabad, especially if you have a four-year gap in your education and only one year of work experience. In this case, it may be more advantageous for you to apply to top B-Schools that are beneficial for distance learning as they can offer more value to your resume.
Another factor to consider is the placement services provided by institutions such as NMIMS, which can be beneficial for securing job opportunities after graduation.
While it is understood that the four-year gap in your education may have been due to valid reasons, it is important to consider your academic credentials. Before making a decision, it is recommended that you research other options such as distance learning MBA programs from TAPMI, Symbiosis, or certification programs offered by MICA and IIMs. This way, you can make an informed decision that will benefit you in the long run.
NITIE Mumbai is the brand name for engineers targeting management courses in India. The institute offers various industrial management courses for students.
I have a friend studying PGDIM in NITIE Mumbai, and as per his insights, you do not get any advantage of being an Industrial Engineer in NITIE Mumbai, if you are focusing on PGDIM or PGDISEM. As it offers you an Industrial Management degree, having an Industrial Engineering does add anything to your profile. However, you may get an edge over other students if targeting M. Tech through the GATE exam.
Overall, in MBA from NITIE, an industrial engineer is on the same platform as other candidates.

JIMS (Jagan Institute of Management Studies)has good visiting faculties from SRCC, LSR and other DU reputed colleges. The syllabus pedagogy is up to date with industry standards but suffers from lack of industry exposure. The institute also brings in sales roles in reputed firms like YES Bank, Standard Chartered, 99 acres etc.

A distance MBA from Periyar University isn’t valid. WES approved the degrees that are recognized by UGC/AICTE. Recently UGC has declared Open and distance learning education from Periyar University to be invalid. So, MBA degrees pursued in distance mode from the university aren’t approved nationally. As a result, these degrees aren’t approved by WES Canada.
