The Hindu Business Line : Which post-graduate programme?

I am a BE with computer science as major. I am working as a software professional in a small company in Pune. I have about six months of experience. I plan to do Post-Graduate Diploma in IT (Distant Learning) from Symbiosis. I want to know if this will help me in my career?

You must select a post-graduate programme only after analysing the course content, the course objective, the institution's reputation, the placement potential and the career growth opportunities. The final choice, most importantly, should be of your liking. In the eyes of the industry, a distance education programme at the PG level is always a step below a full-time course.

In case you opt for a distance education programme, you have to do some research on the various PG programmes available and zero-in on the one best suited to your requirements.

Considering that you already have a BE in Computer Science, I would like to recommend the Post-Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (PGDBA) offered by Symbiosis as a better choice than PGDIT. This would broaden your horizons with a business focus. It may also help you in your long-term career growth.
