PGDBA is now in its third year, and people are not only interested in it, but also competing fiercely for admission.
This course has a broad scope. Students learn a wide range of languages, tools, and models used in data science. In addition, one must work with real-world industry problems involving data sizes of up to Terabytes. To compute those massive data sets, the cloud would be required the majority of the time. Learning there is unlike anything you can imagine. There are no online MOOCs that can compare to what this course has to offer. The PGDBA syllabus is not fixed; it can change in response to industry and technological demands and trends. You can rest assured that you will be given the best technologies and equipment available, as well as managerial skills.
It’s true that management consulting firms are finicky about the campuses they recruit from and even in top management schools these firms only interview the top 5-10% of the students. Though companies like McKinsey, BCG, etc. recruit from premier undergraduate colleges, for MBA they only hire from top-rated B-schools.

IGNOU is recognised by AICTE and is run by the central government. So if you are looking for a government job then it’s not an issue. Also, IGNOU is better than many small universities like SMU (Sikkim Manipal University).
IGNOU is the best option if you are tight on budget or you prefer learning while earning.
MNCs prefer a formal education of 15 years. For additional education, you can go for IGNOU. But if your Bachelor's Degree is also from IGNOU then this might be a problem at the time of employment.
It’s important to note that at the time of employment regular colleges are always given more preference than distance education. So it’s recommended you pursue MBA from a regular college. Let IGNOU be the last choice under special circumstances such as a tight budget or preferring distance learning due to personal reasons.
It depends on the other options available to you. ABM graduates are eligible for many of the marketing and operations jobs that normal PGP students are. Choosing an ABM at any of the top IIMs (including IIM Lucknow) is a better option than a general MBA from a tier 2 business school. Even if you take a drop for CAT, it will be a waste of your year. In an MBA, your college tag makes a big difference. In the long run, the IIM tag will benefit your corporate career a lot.
