I am student of Master of Business Administration in IGNOU. I would like to pen down some points about IGNOU and the value of studying MBA in IGNOU. When we talk about MBA, all will feel proud to complete their MBA in very popular Management Institution where they need to have a great plan earlier too.
Doing MBA in IGNOU helps the students both professionally and economically. While we think to study MBA we might be having so many options like doing in correspondence or in regular college. When a student comes out from a degree college his main aim is to do MBA in regular. Because of so many reasons they could not be able to join in regular college for doing MBA. For those IGNOU will help them to study MBA in correspondence.
Academic program for MBA in IGNOU:*
Joining in MBA - IGNOU:*
IGNOU offers so many management courses and also introducing many new courses day-by-day based on the requirement of skilled persons in the market. IGNOU gives “A” class standard of education for all. To join in MBA, students needs to attend the OPENMAT - Entrance Test conducted every six months.
