Yes, you can do MBA from NMIMS through distance but always go for regular as it is more effective for placements but if you get the job then go for distance.

It is not possible after class 12th. They requires an undergraduate degree. If you really want admission there, pursue an under graduation course, and then work really hard to get admission there.
