Introduction:
In the post-globalisation period, there has been a huge requirement of trained and
well-qualified manpower with a MBA degree to cater to the needs of manufacturing and
service organisations. Further, the already employed professionals in manufacturing and
service organisations, but who do not have an MBA degree, have also a great need to
upgrade their qualifications by acquiring an MBA degree through distance mode.
In view of this, the Centre for Distance Education, Shivaji University, Kolhapur has
introduced two M.B.A. Courses in the distance mode.
� M.B.A. (Executive) Distance Mode Course
� M.B.A. Distance Mode Course
1) MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (M.B.A.) (EXECUTIVE/
DISTANCE MODE) COURSE
Why M. B. A. – (Executive/Distance)?
� Potential to grow as the M.B.A. programme can be completed while continuing
with one’s employment.
� Main idea is to cater to the requirement of those who could not attend the regular
M.B.A. due to various constraints such as employment, lack of time to attend the
regular fulltime course etc.
� The target groups are employees in institutes of higher education, banks and
insurance, service organisations, SMEs and other business organisations interested
in future education in Management.

duration. There will be semester end examination in December and April/May for each

course along with pursuing their jobs. For these professionals Distance Mode M.B.A. is
a boon as they can learn while they earn.

Fee Structure for registration for clearing of failed subjects (reappearing) in one or
more semesters:
1. Fee Structure for reappearing:
For students registering for clearing of failed subjects (reappearing) for one or more
semesters, the fee structure is as follows. In case of any doubts further information may
be obtained from the M.B.A. Co-ordinator.
Total fees* Payable = Registration Fee + Form Fee + Regular Examination Fee +
Additional Examination Fee + Late Fee
Presently, Course fee of Rs. 16,475/- is payable only when registering initially/for
the first time for semester I and semester III, while Eligibility Fees of Rs. 100/- Rs.
300/- Rs. 500/- (as per details given earlier) is payable only when registering initially
for semester I only. Registration fee of Rs. 300/- and Form Fee of Rs. 20/- are payable
by each student irrespective of whether he/she is registering initially/for the first time or
whether the student is registering for clearing of failed subjects of previous semester(s).
In case, the student is registering initially/for the first time for the next semester
and is also registering for clearing of failed subjects in previous semester(s), then the
registration fee and the form fee is charged only once i.e. the registration fee + the form
fee is not chargeable separately for registering initially/for the first time and registering
for clearing of failed subjects in previous semester(s).
But, in case, the student is registering only for clearing of failed subjects in
previous semester(s) or is reappearing for marks improvement, then also the registration
fee and form fee has to be paid by the student.
In short, once the student pays the Registration fee of Rs. 300/- and Form Fee of
Rs. 20/-, he/she can register for the next semester and/or register for clearing of subjects
in previous semesters or marks improvement in previous semester(s).
Regular Examination Fee is payable if the student is registering initially/for the
first time for the appropriate semester. The current regular examination fee schedule
has been given earlier.
Late Fee would be payable as applicable depending the fee payment schedule.
* The course fee, eligibility fee, registration fee, form fee, regular examination fee, additional examination fee and late fee would be applicable as per the Shivaji University guidelines then in force, along with any other fee(s) approved by the competent authority.
41
Additional Examination Fee is payable by a student if he/she has to register for
clearing (reappearing) for subjects in which the student has earlier appeared and failed
i.e. in case the student has not cleared all his/her subjects or has not obtained the
minimum of 50% marks in aggregate in any one or more of the previous semesters then
additional examination fees have to be paid, as per Examination Rules prevailing at the
time of filling the exam forms.
Admission cancellation and refund of fees:
