I am the best! NMIMS VS Symbiosis

An interview is going on with education experts regarding the rapid change in the education system and how the pandemic impacted over it. Education experts were telling the benefits of online and distance education and how it has become the New Normal in the field of education.

Meanwhile, the talks were buzzing around, and suddenly a student stood up from the audience and eagerly raised his hand to ask a question.

Interviewer- Oh Sir! There’s a boy who wanted to ask his query, can we?

Sure! Sure!- By the Education Expert.

Hey, young man so what do you have to ask? Please ask freely without any hesitation.

Young Boy- Sir,  I wanted to pursue online as I’m a working professional and have already completed a bachelor’s degree in commerce but whenever it comes to talking about online education I kind of get tangled and insecure at the same time of whether it is worth a degree or valid so that I will get a better job and promotions, hike in my current job.

I feel I’m too confused and need a guide who will take me to the shore. Hope you understand what I’m trying to say, sir.

Educationist- Ha hahaha…. I know, I know! My boy, at your age even I was too afraid of doing experiments or taking any step forward. what if any of my decisions create a blunder? But by the time I learned one of the most important things of life, I.e. Don’t just go with the flow but flow with the change, because change is always for something better in the end.  Also yes education is one very crucial yet life changing part of life. So we always think not twice but thrice if it’s about doing a course.

But time has changed and with the change of time, our thought process has also changed. Earlier it was a completely different thing distance education and online learning but now with time, it has improvised in terms of serving quality education and setting an example in the surrounding.

Now let’s head on to your question first and then I will clear all the doubts regarding distance education.

Doing an online MBA or distance MBA Course and being a working professional is definitely a smart move or you can move into Distance PGDM courses too, only if it’s from a deserving and best university.

Interviewer- But sir, who will tell the best university? Because all the university says I’m the best!

A girl from the audience stood and asked permission to say something- Sir, can I please?

Interviewer- Oh! Yes please.. go on.

Girl- Sir, After a lot of digging and research even I found out the two of the best distance and online universities that are actually best in serving management courses. The Names of the universities are NMIMS Online and Symbiosis University Online.

Another boy from the audience- oh yeah! Even I find out the same for a distance or online graduation program in management. But still, it’s two, what to choose? NMIMS or Symbiosis?

Educationist- wait.. wait! I’m here to take your hand. At first, yes guys you all were right these are some of the best universities in management courses.
