Is the PGDM program from NMIMS worth it? Or should I opt for a regular distance MBA from SMUDE?
Some of the prominent features of the NMIMS blended learning program include online weekend lectures, access to best-in-class content, academic excellence, case studies and assignments for every subject, accreditation, and recognition by UGC-DEB AICTE, online exams and submissions, personal contact sessions, student portal updates, and industry acceptance ratio.
It is essential to choose wisely when selecting a program. Consider your personal preferences and needs, as well as the offerings of each institute. With a blended learning experience and strong industry acceptance ratio, NMIMS is a great option to consider, especially for those who wish to pursue certification courses.
If you are considering business schools, then NMIMS Mumbai should be among your top choices as it is considered to be one of the best in the country.
It is worth noting that, in my experience, distance MBA programs are not as effective as in-person programs. While you may learn 50% of the material from academics, the other 50% comes from interacting and learning from your peers. In-person programs provide more opportunities for peer learning, which can be difficult to replicate in distance MBA programs.

If you are mainly considering NMIMS Mumbai, you should go for it as it is one of the top business schools. However, your basic theory is just 50% of what you learn when it comes to distance MBA. Real learning comes from your peers and other experiences you might have in college, lacking in a distance MBA.
One of my friends is pursuing the distance course from NMIMS and the following information might help you out:
- If you are a working professional, distance learning programs will benefit you as you can continue doing your job.
- You will be able to gain working experience and at the same time, add new skills to your resume.
- Most management courses are also quite expensive so with distance learning, there is also cost-effectiveness that comes into play.
- You also will not have to worry about missing lectures and will be able to manage your time better.
- The study material and methods of teaching will provide you with the extra edge that will help you stand out among other students.
- There is a facility for E-books, learning management systems, and online sessions when it comes to distance learning with NMIMS.
- There are also quite a few personal contact sessions that are held 2 months before the examination to help you clear your doubts.
- You can even expect to get placed as openings are displayed on the student portal. The college has a very strong industry acceptance ratio.
- You can aim to get placed in companies like IBM, Accenture, Verizon, Cipla, and others.
A blended learning experience is also quite beneficial. You can compare these parameters with other colleges and make your decision accordingly. Overall, NMIMS is a good option.
