MNCs, GLCs and SMEs may take u in as a local degree grad's equal IF u can convince them at your interview. this was for my case, where i entered with higher salary than some of my local uni grads colleagues.

all the best.
I did not do a distance learning degree, I went on-shore to do it full-time.

the weird thing is when I went for a interview with a rather large organisation that was spinned off from a govt stat board, the HR manager told me that even in comparison with local uni grad with 2nd upper, I am overpaid - but I go for other interviews with similar organisations and they said it was okay.....just that they are slower in screening through all interviews.....
