Its a must ! focus on courses which enhance the experience gathered.. also an opportunity to diversify in new fields..
though availability of certain courses.. distance format.. is limited.. Universities should invite intentions from prospective students.. based on popularity.. introduce new courses !
If any organisation starts such exercise.. consider my choice coming in fastest !!
I think for professinals today who want to achieve greater heights and promotions in the organisation they are working.... apart from experience they need basic qualification for qualifying certain posts. So I think this is the good way to go about. Also for the students who don't have money and want to pursue MBA this is the good option. This kind of degrees should be encouraged and should be given equal importance, as a regular PG.
Now a days heigher education is require a good funding which is not possible without earning.secondly a good qualification gives good attraction one's CV.I joined Indian Navy at the age of 16 in 1972 after my matric.I felt that there is no subsitute of academics therefore while serving in Indian Navy I did Many naval courses which equalized me with graduate engibneers. However, I continued my quest to complete academic education also and completed BA from Indore university distant progremme in 1988 while serving Indian Navy. After retirement in 1989 I took up the job in corporate sector which taken away my 12 Hrs a day. I decided to improve my qualification and continued my distant learning progremm from Indore university and completed post graduation in 1995 and M.Phil in 1997 thriugh evening college and Ph.D from Indore christian college in 2002. It was great a achievement having doctarate . I have been apointed as engineeing Project manager in Dubai in the same year and successfully completed the Pharmaceutical project .Therefore, it is good concept to raise the qualification while one works.
