MBA or CA

This query is : Resolved 

26 May 2011 Hello everyone...

I am an IPCC student and have appeared for the exam few days back in May 2011. I have given my best in all subjects but still cant predict the result as we all are aware of ICAI valuation.

I am doing Bcom and from June 15 onwards my last (6th) semester exams will commence and results may be out by August.

I am also planning for MBA course. (if Possible)

So now my question is, as my CA results will be out by August but the last date for admission for MBA is 31th July and moreover classes for MBA will commence from August 1st week.

So please help me in my further studies as if i wait for my CA results and if i wont clear then i cant get admission for MBA as by that date admissions will be closed and classed will be started and my whole 1 year will be wasted. And suppose if i register myself with MBA course by making payment of fees (non-refundable) and i cleared in my CA exams as well, will ICAI permit me to do MBA (full time) along with my articliship.

Please help me to come out of this delima..
Thank you all in advance...

26 May 2011 ICAI not allowed any full time course with Article ship.
according to me you should focus on your articleship. practical work will give you benefit in future.
you can go for CS togather. this is best option.

26 May 2011 Yes sir i am aware that ICAI will not allow full time course.
If i clear in my IPCC exam, i will go for correspondence course of MBA or CS or CWA
But if i wont clear then will go for regular MBA course.

My question is what should i do currently weather to wait for CA results or go for MBA admission..???


26 May 2011 yes dear before articleship you can go for regular MBA !!
according to me don't wait for result, you should take admission in MBA.

27 May 2011 Okay sir thank your for your reply...

If i do 1st year of my MBA in regular and 2nd year in correspondence, will it affect to the value of my degree....????

03 August 2024 Combining regular and correspondence modes for an MBA program can have implications for the value and recognition of your degree. Here are some key factors to consider:

### **1. **University Policy**:**
- **Institutional Rules**: Many universities have strict policies about whether a student can switch between regular and correspondence modes. You should check with your university to see if they allow such transitions.
- **Program Structure**: Some institutions may have different structures for regular and correspondence programs, which can affect the curriculum, interaction with faculty, and overall learning experience.

### **2. **Accreditation and Recognition**:**
- **Degree Value**: Generally, the value of the degree is more about the university’s reputation and the program’s accreditation rather than the mode of study. Both regular and correspondence modes should be equally recognized if they are from an accredited institution.
- **Employer Perception**: Most employers focus on the university’s reputation and the skills you gained rather than whether you completed your MBA through regular or correspondence modes.

### **3. **Learning Experience**:**
- **Regular vs. Correspondence**: The learning experience in regular mode often includes face-to-face interactions, group projects, and campus life, which might be different from correspondence. Transitioning from regular to correspondence may affect your exposure to these aspects.
- **Consistency**: Ensure that the quality of education in the correspondence mode matches or complements what you received in the regular mode.

### **4. **Administrative and Logistical Issues:**
- **Credit Transfer**: If switching modes, confirm how credits and coursework will transfer between regular and correspondence. Some universities might require you to start afresh or adhere to specific rules.
- **Documentation**: Maintain clear documentation of your academic progress and any approvals or confirmations related to the change in mode of study.

### **5. **Career Impact:**
- **Relevance and Skills**: The practical skills and knowledge you gain are often more important than the mode of study. If you perform well and can apply your learnings effectively, the impact on your career should be minimal.
- **Networking**: Regular mode may offer more networking opportunities compared to correspondence. Consider how you can supplement your networking and practical experience in correspondence mode.

### **Conclusion:**
Switching from regular to correspondence in your MBA program generally should not affect the value of your degree as long as it is from an accredited and reputable institution. However, it is crucial to check with your specific university about their policies and ensure that the transition aligns with your academic and career goals.
