Learning is a continuous process , it is a life long activity. It does not end after earning a degree or some other qualification . Learning does not end after we join a handsomely paying job. It is a never ending process . Some people prefer to learn from their experiences and some others go for formal education.
Education is gradual process of acquiring knowledge, it facilitates learning. If a person wants to continue his education even after joining a job, the doors of education are not closed for him . Lately, distance education and part time programs have gained popularity in India . Generally perception in India was that "once we join job formal education ends " but this perception has considerably changed now. Many people join different part time programs, distance education , and week end programs to increase their knowledge . I would throw some light on various options available in India to pursue MBA and management education while we are working.
We can opt for distance education , which will be complete correspondence type. Relevant materials will be sent through post or as soft copies through our mail, some times even online classes will be available. Many universities in India like IGNOU, Karnataka State Open University , Madurai Kamaraj University , Annamalai University , Bangalore University , Bharatidasan University provide distance education MBA.
