A lot of women in my family have an MBA, you can do an MBA in India though distance education. Which is basically reading a few books and appearing for exams. A lot of women see this as a good way to keep themselves busy while their parents look boys for them.

Exams are super easy(by any measure) and those three letters in the degree give an impression you are well read and educated.

For this reason alone. I've lost trust in M.S(MTech too). A friend of my mine has MS from BITS Pilani(Distance education program) and can't write a 100 line program. Masters degree programs, especially evening college and distance education ones are a joke. These are degrees only for namesake, and generally done for extra titles and because the person has nothing better to do.
