Which one should I select? Full time MBA or Part time MBA?

MBA is one of the most demanded courses in the world itself among students. People usually believe that having a MBA Graduation is very much important for a professional career. We cannot generalize MBA Aspirants as people who wants to work with business firms. Any professional may work to complete a graduation in MBA.  

Almost all the students who wish to pursue MBA will have the confusion regarding the type of course; that is whether to choose full- time MBA or Part- time one. This article is written mainly to give some suggestions for those confused students, to find a solution to this problem.

Many people think that the difference between full time and part time MBA is only with the duration of timings. But it is not completely correct. Of course, there is a huge timing difference between both. When full time course keep the students packed up for almost about 2 years. A day full class, for about 4 to 5 hours will make the students busy throughout the weekdays itself. And also it will make the students to stay necessarily nearby to the institution.  But when we look to the part time study system, the classes will be mostly in the evenings or week-ends. This usually gives enough time for students to work and earn during week days. 

Even though part time MBA is also easier for nearby living students, opportunities like online MBA programs allow people to study from anywhere. Also part time MBA does not have clear cut time duration. Many people take about 3 to 4 years to complete the course.

Differences are also seen in the type of people in selecting full time and part time course. People who want a change in their career will usually opt for a full time course. They find it much more helpful for acquiring new knowledge through internships and extra academic activities. But in the case of a part time MBA, major part of students will come from working category. They look it as an addition to their CV profile, along with experience of working for some years.

When it comes to the cost of MBA studies, full time students can find many chances to get sponsorship and as well as scholarships. Even though part time ones also get chances for sponsors, scholarships are very limited for them to access. Similarly opportunities of connecting with outer people also create drastic difference between full time and part time studies. Full time course provides connections with many people related with the campus. It allows to get attached to the college alumni, scholars, job providers and so on through many ways. In the meantime, part time students find many connections through the works they do along with their studies. 

Like all these matters, the course also makes differences in the eligibility for admission. When full time MBA seeks clearing entrances like GMAT and GRE, part time course gives a relaxation for such conditions. Part time course is usually chosen by experienced professionals. So requirements, like clearing entrances are not considered as so important in it. 

Selecting the type of study is completely I the hands of the students. Mindset of the student to select in between these two will differ from people to people. It is purely based on their interests as well as on their capabilities. If you are interested to go for a full time study, you can go for it. Similarly you can go through a part time one, if you have the capacity to go along with work and study at a time. Like said above, selection of course and course type is literally on your hands. So always make sure that you make a selection wisely.
