A major concern that students have when they decided to pursue
a distance education degree is
the value of the degree with respect to employment opportunities. Because About a decade ago, distance
education was of nearly no value in the employment sector. However, as the time
changes & rise of different platforms of online learning distance education
is being broadly recognized in both public and private sectors.
From a student's point
of view, the value of a degree is something that directly proportional to its
return on investment (ROI). So if a student intends to contribute time, money
and energy in pursuing a course, he anticipates that it should give him good
returns. For most of them, good
returns mean getting a good job placement after fulfilment of the course.
Distance education-
good return on investment
The average salary package offered to MBA graduates
(2014-2016) of IIM Kozhikode by top companies in India and abroad varied
between Rs. 11.29 lakh and Rs. 18.78 lakh per annum.
In contrast, the Campus Placement Cell (CPC) of the Indira
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), offers to its students is ranging from
(Rs. 1.8 lakhs per annum) to 3.75 lakh per annum)
These Statistics &
surveys shows that distance
education still has a long way to go but if we take a comparative look at
the ROI, distance learning degrees don't fare that bad either.
On off the chance that we think about the
affordable and cost-effective distance learning programmes offered by open
universities like IGNOU, then the placements offered by them are actually handsome
returns on the investment we put in.
Distance learning
degrees valid for central Government jobs
According to notification issued by central government
in 1995, all qualifications awarded through distance education by the
universities are automatically eligible for the purpose of employment to posts and services
under the central government, but it needed to be approved by the distance
education Council,” IGNOU Vice
Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharran Pillai said.
As per the notification, all distance learning diplomas, degrees,
and certifications granted through distance mode by UGC recognized universities
are eligible for the central government jobs, such as UPSC Civil Services, SBI
PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS PO and IBPS Clerk.
Distance MBA graduates can
also apply for government jobs as full time MBA graduates. They can find suitable opportunities for
themselves in government sectors such as Banking, Railways, Airport, PSUs, etc.
Eligible for overseas
jobs
A distance MBA degree in International Business can get
abroad jobs in export and import, shipping, consultancy, logistics and
international placement. Another specialization which offers promising
prospects through distance mode is IT management. An MBA degree in Media &
Communications will put you ahead of the rest.
Special
Placement cells for distance learning universities
The majority of the colleges offering distance education have now
established special "placement cells" that actively seek to get their
students placed in reputed multinationals, government jobs, nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) and the private sector. These placement cells ensure that every
single student get help with job placements, counselling for employment and
even self-employment.
It makes a huge difference from where you have finished
your distance education. Pick a well-recognized institution for your distance education course. Most of the times you will get a job
depending upon your skills, knowledge and hard work. So once a candidate secures a job in any
industry, the salary/ income/ monetary benefit that s/he gets depends on his/
her performance at work not on college or university.
