IT and ITES appreciate students who have good qualifications and experience for recruitment. The industry-academia interface has actually helped the academic world to plan to the requirements of the organisations concerned. In fact, the corporate world has made efforts to bring in the best through campus recruitments. It is always good to have add-on qualifications in different areas so that you can have an headstart in the field of IT.
You should join accredited institutions for the various programmes in the field of computers, whether it is MCSE, Java, C++, HTML or any other. Some of these programmes are also available online, which could be of help, if you do not intend to go to the institution itself. Besides graduation the add-on programmes will help you get to your dream job. Many from the IT corporate world are happy to recruit individuals like you and support you in the cause of corporate growth.

You could pursue agri-business in the regular mode, for it will help you in your placement as well. Consider the Post-Graduate Programme in Agri-Business Management (PGP-ABM) offered by the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIMA) ( www.iimahd.ernet.in) or the Post-Graduate Diploma in Rural Management (PGDRM) of the Institute of Rural Management (IRMA), Anand. Both offer good placements.
Pursuing M.Tech
I am B-level certified from DOEACC Society, and looking out for work. For furthering my qualification and career I want to pursue M.Tech by Distance/Correspondence course. Which Universities provide opportunities for
this type of education?

B-Level is a Post-Graduate qualification equivalent to the Master of Computer Applications (MCA). Since you are already working in the Information Technology (IT) sector, you can contact your Unit HR for institutional tie-up so that you could pursue the programme of your choice in your organisation itself. Infosys, Wipro, Satyam and other IT and ITES companies have a tie-up with BITS, Pilani, and leading management institutes.
Alternatively you can contact DOEACC ( www.doeacc.edu.in) which is successfully running the quality oriented C-Level programme which is on a par with Master of Technology (M.Tech). Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation ( www.vmrfdu.ac.in) offers the two-year Master of Technology/Master of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering (Course Code: 952) offered by the Faculty of Distance Education. You can contact the Head of Department and get the full details of the programme.
The Dr. MGR Educational and Research Institute offers M.Tech on a part-time basis through the Deccan Institute of Advanced Studies ( www.diasindia.org) and also the M.S. by Research.
