What is the best choice for distance learning PGDM, NMIMS or Symbiosis?
Symbiosis is one of the prominently known universities for full-time PGDM whereas, NMIMS is the university best for distance learning PGDM. One of my friends is studying at NMIMS and his overall experience of this college was nice.
Symbiosis provides a degree from SCDL and it isn’t recognized by any government board. Whereas, NMIMS is recognized by UGC and NAAC.
NMIMS has a proper examination center plus information centers. On the other hand, Symbiosis doesn’t have any information center.
NMIMS also provides great help to students with the following.
- Online lectures with Live recordings.
- Course books with extra materials to read or reference materials.
- Books and access to e-resources from Digital libraries.
- Assignments, Mock Tests, and Model answers.
- Research databases, eBooks databases, and electronic journals.
Hence, NMIMS is a better choice for distance learning than Symbiosis.
