Nowadays all these important degrees can also be obtained through distance based courses. However, there are various students who prefer regular courses rather than the correspondence ones. And, there is a reason behind this confusion. Some age old people or the elders might be dead against you applying for the distance learning courses while others might just approve of your decision. Those who are not in favor of a distance learning course argue that it does not carry the same weight in your resume as a regular course does, however the decision has to be yours after evaluating various aspects.
