IIM bangalore runs the PGSEM program. It's a part time MBA program.
For distance education MBA, you have ICFAI and IGNOU. There must be many others.

Are there any rankings available for part-time/distance learning MBA courses? How do I choose which one is best for me?

There are no available rankings as such. And whatever keep coming up in the
business magazines keep changing year on year except for a top few. My advice is that you can look at either/all of the following parameters to evaluate:

1. Institution's credibility.
2. How long has the program been running.
3. How is the program structured (on campus, distance learning, web based learning)
4. What is the profile of the participants
5. What is the fees being charged.
6. At the end of the day, does it add value to you

Any idea about distance learning MBA from amity business school (http://www.amity.edu/)

The PGSEM program offered by IIM Bangalore is arguably the best part time MBA course in the country. It is a general management program, runs for 2.5 years, over 10 quarters, and requires the student to take 31 courses and one project, for a total of 96 credits. These course requirements are similar to the regular PGP program. The faculty for the two courses is the same, and you get all the benefits of interacting with other professionals from the IT industry for the duration of the course...

Do you know anyone who recently graduated from this program? How was it valued in job interviews?
