Expert advice to chart your future

I have completed twelfth grade and my engineering cut off is 189.75. I am now confused whether to opt for engineering or to go for integrated MSc (Physics) in Central University.

I would first advise you to decide on your core interest area and then decide on a career plan. Your decision to go for engineering or not should not depend upon your marks only. Both the career options you have indicated are good and stable ones. Incase you opt for engineering, you must continue to do your masters after completion of your BE/B Tech.

What is the difference between an online MBA & a part time MBA. Which is better ?

In a part time MBA programme, you shall be expected to attend classes on weekends or for 3 days a week in the evenings.This will ensure you get the benefit of learning from faculty and also peer learning.The duration could be 2-3 years to get your MBA. In an online MBA programme, you need not attend classes and the course is delivered to you via the internet via e learning modules and online tests etc; minimum faculty interaction is possible via webcasts and webchats.The part time MBA is more robust learning model as on date BUT the online MBA too is becoming more popular.
