I have diploma in textiles from Mumbai and having 15 years of experience. Can I do MBA from UGC approved institute through distance education. & from which institute ? If yes how much is the minimum duration & fees for that?

MBA in distance is one of the best options available when you have gained some considerable age and do not consider yourself for a full time MBA degree from any college. Distance education has been framed keeping in mind such cases wherein people realise about the importance of MBA.

Since you have a lot of experience, it is an appropriate decision for you to take up MBA. Here are a few details about the best distance learning programs in India:

1. MBA stands for Masters in Business Administration which is a full time 2 years program that is intended to impart management education in the students that take it up. Distance MBA is same thing but it would be in the form of online mode.

2. Some of the top colleges that provide online MBA education are:

IMT Ghaziabad - Centre for Distance Learning
Sikkim Manipal
SIBM Pune
NMIMS, Mumbai
etc

These all provide the best of education but in the form of online mode. However, they provide study modules and books and all that would be mailed to your home address.

3. All the above universities are approved by UGC and are authorised to run these courses. However, the fact that not many people go for distance education is that these college do not provide any placement help/aid after you complete your course with them. They only take a one time fees and then you are on your own.

4. As far as eligibility goes, even if you are a diploma holder a lot of colleges allow to take up the course. It would add a lot of value to your profile after your MBA gets completed.
