Distance learning for International Students?

Urgently advice - no one is answering pls answer! AIMA or Sikkim Manipal for distance mba ?

• I need urgent advise so someone pls urgently reply as I want to take decision within one week only I am 30 yr old working woman, scored 49.5% in b.com & less than 45% in m.com, I m not eligible for institutes requires minimum 50% aggragate & not eligible for CAT too. I had six years of experience.I worked mainly at admin level as CSR & academic coordinator & counselor at educational institutes. I appeared for MAT in Dec-11 & scored 8.33 percentile. Got call letter from many institutes but all of them are costly & full time. I don’t have time & money now for full time mba or pgdm. So decided to go for weekend/e-learning MBA or PGDM. I think part time/weekend/online MBA/PGDM is better than NO MBA/PGDM. Atleast it would be useful to me in some way & I would learn something from it. No education is ever a waste I believe. My preference is MBA with HR. My budget is maximum 1.25 to 1.50 lakh for full course not more than that. I inquired in many institutes out of which as per my budget, eligibility & preference I shortlisted following institutes like 1) Amity university, 2) IMT Ghaziabad, 3) Symbiosis (scdl), 3) Narsee Monjee, 4) Sikkim Manipal, 5) AIMA e-learning through Hughes Net Global, Out of above, only sikkim manipal offers 7 hours weekend lectures at its study centres, while AIMA offers e-learning thru hughes net global. On Saturday sikkim manipal have 3 hours lectures while on Sunday 4 hours lectures. Total 4 to 5 lectures for different subjects on weekends. They let me attend demo lectures on Sat.& Sunday & I found lectures quite interesting however crowd (other students) wasn’t great or hi-fi but lectures were quite good. Atleast not full time but during weekend I get a feel of attending classes & learning something. And in Sikkim manipal you also have to submit 3 assigments per subject in each semester & project & viva will be there in the end of course so atleast we can get a feel that we are studying, but rest of institutes except aima & narsee monjee, neither assignments nor projects only exams at end of semester. This didn’t attracted me & in addition I heard and read horrible reviews of amity and imt Ghaziabad (imt-cdl). So not keen on going for that. Only sikkim manipal provides MBA and rest provides pgdm. However as for brand name, I know symbiosis and imt may look better, but sikkim manipal has actually good services, their study centers much better than imt, their counselor seemed answerable, their work is particular, they provide what they promise, I have visited their centers multiple time and talked to their customer service, they are the only one who atleast pick up the phone and provide information unlike imt or amity. My neighbour is doing from sikkim manipal and he has good reviews. 1) Now since I will be studying distance learning which degree/diploma will be better MBA degree or PGDM diploma 2) Should I care for brand name like symbiosis or imt or should I care for weekend lectures that sikkim manipal provides 3) Should I go for AIMA e-learning pgdm through Hughes global net. Do e-learning from Hughes has market value or not? 4) AIMA e-learning or sikkim manipal, which one I should pick, pls help, if you think it is better to go for any other as per my eligibility and budget, then also pls suggest. I need urgent advice as I want to take decision within 1 week. Pls answer to my question above Pls anyone don't suggest me icfai or ignou
