Online MBA from IIM A/PGPWP from IIMK or IIML

Is it beneficial to do Online MBA or PGPWP from IIM’s, considering that the fees is ~20LPA and the classes are conducted online or on weekends. I am currently working in a big 4 with 5years of experience in tech consulting and earning ~ 30LPA, leaving current job will be a difficult decision, therefore I have been considering such courses. My current employer might not be able to give me any promotion on this basis but will it help in long run and help in switching to MBB’s ? Also, does the degree of these courses specify online or anything which sets it apart from regular course degree?

I recently gave the exam and interview for IIMA Online MBA. In my sector MBA and IIMA tag is huge so it made sense and the fact that its online and my job is hybrid helps. May not be the same for you. At my age (30) I knew I was never gonna do a full time MBA and I don't want to delay further in my late 30s.

They give the "Master of Business Administration " degree which is valid by UGC. For me that's all that matters.

Please avoid doing online mba, no matter how prestigious the institute is. I went for mba from IIMA few years ago after quitting my job. There is a difference of day and night between mba on campus vs online mba. The real test of your mba degree starts after you graduate. Online falls short here.

IIM-K EPGP (Online, 2 Years)

Planning to do this just for credentials + MBA degree which is a must in larger companies for non-tech roles, not looking for any placement support. The cost is 15 lacs. The other option is MDI Gurgaon, the cost of their online program is 9 lacs. Looking for some feedback on this move considering my objectives.

Earning 2x of a Tier-1 MBA grad already. Should I still do an MBA?

I am probably earning 2x of what an average T-1 MBA grad makes in India. I'm just not happy in my role and this SDE grind caught me lackin'. Can you help me determine whether it is still a good bet to get an MBA? Because these normie MBA folks are literally the dumbest people I have seen and I think I can do a better job than them.

Top Executive MBA program in India

Looking for top executive MBA program in India. The top ones in IIMs are costly. I am looking for something which is affordable and has good placements, alumni network. Online is preferred though offline from Bengaluru is also fine. No full time as current job is important.

Should I go for an MBA?

Hi folks, I’m a Sr. PM at a good startup currently getting 40 LPA. My total experience is 6 years (2 years PM). One of the CXOs suggested to me (over a casual conversation) to consider doing an MBA from ISB or Ivy League colleges if I can afford a career break. I know that post-MBA might not see a huge jump in CTC but from a long-term perspective do you think it would be worth it? Will it open more avenues for growth?

Isb pgp Pro course benefit?

Is this 30 lakh + taxes course fee worth it if you were an average college but damn good at your work and isb iim candidates came and got a similar salary to you what you got after 10 years experience in their first role. They don't offer placements. How does this course help pivot your career

Need advice: Are the product mgmt programs from IIM , ISB worth the fees?

Hi everyone, I came across a 36 week product management course from IIM Kozhikode (Approx 1.8 L + GST) and a 12 week program from ISB (Approx 1.4 L + GST). Do these courses/programs help? I am interested in understanding product management better and if these courses will help me in achieving that (and potentially help my career), I might enroll in one of these 2 courses. A bit of background - I am nearing 16 years in IT. Was primarily into Automation testing and now am a Test Manager in a big4. I am okayish with my current salary but wouldn't think twice if a better role with better pay came my way. Also, don't mind moving from a Test Manager role to Product Management. I browsed through the curriculum and some of the topics I am already familiar with. Would you suggest I enroll in one of these courses and will it help having a certification from one of these institutes? I guess I could also read books and browse YouTube for knowledge but,I doubt that would have the same impact as one of these courses (provided they are of use and actually have good content).
