Online PhDs done abroad may not always be universally recognized in India. It's crucial to verify recognition with relevant accreditation bodies.

Yes, there are programs designed for working professionals to pursue a PhD simultaneously. Look for universities offering flexible schedules to accommodate your work commitments.

Completing a PhD can significantly benefit a senior professional in the banking sector by enhancing expertise, opening avenues for research-driven insights, and potentially contributing to career advancement.

Why not offline phd if you are really interested?

Full time PHD is not worth in India.  Forget online.  We have very small R&D investments in India. Since  1992, we have not moved out of the "cost savings" business model.  With liited R&D jobs in our country, unless you are from a T1 college doing under the guidance of a T1 professor. Its absolutely not worth it. 

If a PHD certificate can help in market market then its one should go. PHD is as useful as HR in a company.

Hi 

I need some info regarding PhD programs done on the online format and it would be extremely helpful if any one of you can advise me here. 

1) Are online PhD’s done abroad valid in India ?
2) Are online PhD’s valid abroad ? 
3) Do we have any sort of programs where someone    who is currently working can pursue his PhD simultaneously? 
4) What are the benefits of completing a PhD for someone who’s currently working in a senior position in the banking sector. 
5) What are the requirements for PhD? Checked online and it showed 55% in Masters. 

Thanks in advance.

Are online PhD’s worth it ?- Grapevine

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

We see that many reputed colleges/universities in India as well as abroad have come up with completely online versions of their Master's degrees for working professionals.
It's also mentioned everywhere that we get the same diploma in the end as the offline degree.
Do these degrees hold any value in today's world?

Do online Master's degrees hold any water?

There was a recent post on ISB executive program, which made me think if online programs are worth it. 
I cane across BITS online MBA program (WILP) during the research. Want to know your honest reviews if you have attended the program. Do you know someone who had attended? Overall, is it worth it?

Hi Guys , 

I work for a major EdTech company based out of BLR and work as an Asst Mgr there. I know this is a long shot or I might even get trolled or abused out here for this but before you do that read this completely. 

I’m only asking the people who are interested or have thought of doing an online masters to allow me to help them out. I’m not even asking you to take up our courses if you don’t like them. I’ll give you a complete and transparent understanding over here about the program that you’d be interested in. Since you know me here I won’t be able to make any false claims to sell you something you’re not in for. Besides since I’ve worked for multiple EdTechs and know people in the industry I can actually get you the right information and not just some sales pitch. 

I AM ONLY DOING THIS CAUSE THE MARKETING TEAM AINT DOING A GOOD JOB AND IM TIRED OF TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LOOKING FOR THE PROGRAM OR NOT ELIGIBLE. 

Thanks in advance 😁

Anyone planning to do any Online Masters Programs ?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Take for example the IIT Kanpur E-Masters, I know that at a level, these are schemes for these institutions to make money, but do they hold any value, will the iitian tag be of any work ?

I do want to pursue a masters but cannot leave my job, GATE doesn't provide any admissions in a good online masters.

Any one with similar experiences? Other opinions ? There is OMSCS georgia tech, but I am not sure about that given my academic past.

Anything 😕?

Are online masters degrees from tier-1 institutes worth it?

I have a shitty bachelor's degree from tier 2/3 college that has been a hindrance in getting good jobs. Need a master's degree but full time MBA seems wasteful and expensive, since I already understand the basics of business and have bootstrapped startups from scratch.

Are online MBA or master's programs any useful or helpful? Any recommendations? I'm on a budget, can't spend more than 5-10 lakhs.

Is there any point in doing an online masters?

Product Owner

A little background: I'm 2024 cs grad from a tier 3 university placed at Zomato as an SDE-1. Getting a good pay of ~25 LPA. 

Should I be considering a masters in AI/ML field, considering I've no prior knowledge of the field and I'm only attracted to it because of the recent rise of LLMs. 

I would be open for a masters from India or abroad. 

What are the pros and cons? Should I go for it? If yes then what's the path that you'd suggest if you've done it or someone you know who has done it? What would be some good universities to target? 

Or is it a bad idea?

Masters in AI/ML

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I wanted to share my journey and seek advice on a concern I've been facing. After completing my undergraduate studies, I worked for two years before deciding to pursue a Master's in Advanced Computer Science in the UK, focusing on a thesis in Machine Learning as a part of course.

This decision was driven by my passion for the field and a desire to advance my knowledge and skills.However, due to some family issues, I had to return to India after completing my master's. 

Since then, I've been working in one of the MNCs here again on developement with very less package 12.50LPA.My overall IT expereicne was 4+ in IT. Despite my efforts and the advanced degree I hold, I've noticed that my master's qualification hasn't been given much consideration; instead, my career growth seems to be solely based on my experience.

I'm beginning to wonder if my decision to pursue a master's abroad has been more of a hindrance than a help in the Indian job market.

I would appreciate insights from this community on a few points:
-->Is a Master's degree valued differently in India compared to other countries?
-->How can I better leverage my advanced degree to benefit my career here?
-->Have others faced similar challenges, and how did you navigate them?
-->Do we really need to have better network in India to go to big positions?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Digital Marketer

I'm currently working as a SDE. I'm planning to pursue an online MBA from a private college so that I can continue working at my current company. I'm seeking advice from anyone with experience in online MBAs, particularly regarding placement after completing the program and which private college is best for it. I have just 6-7 months of full-time experience. 

I would appreciate guidance from seniors.

Data Scientist

My overall education started a bit late than normal people due to my fathers transfers and school admission rules. Consequently when I applied for JEE Advanced back in 2017 i was 19.5 years old.  I got it but wasnt satisfied so dropped a year and got a better rank. I was 20.5 years old when I finally joined IIT. 
Somewhere subconciously throughout my college life i felt that I did achieve what I wanted to but really late. I know theres nothing I could do about it but this was something still killing me inside. Most of my batchmates where 18 year olds and even the ones who dropped where at most 19. 

I always wanted to pursue my masters and phd but somewhere at the back of my mind I feel I would have to go theough the same feelings again. It just kills me so much inside. 

Currently I have completed 2 years as a software engineer and I am 26 years old. 
On one part my mind tells me that I am made for much more than just an IT job and should go to academia. On the other hand it feels like I am too old for it. 

I dont know what to do. I am not able to rationalize my thoughts. I am not able to understand how can I bring myself to overcome my fears and achieve what i really want in life.

A subconcious insecurity

This quote I read - you will get old irrespective of your masters and PHD degrees too.
Might as well be old with them.

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?

Online MBA from IIM A/PGPWP from IIMK or IIML

Hey everyone, seeking some career advice here. So, I've been grinding away in the risk domain at a big financial services MNC for about 2 years now ( have total experience of 5 years from similar companies), pulling in around 30 lakhs INR. Recently, I got a bit curious about what else is out there, so I started poking around. But here's the kicker – every HR rep I chat with says my pay is cool, but they're eyeing up MBA grads from fancy schools for the budget I'm looking out for. 

Thing is, I know my stuff. I've snagged awards, jumped up the ladder faster. But now I'm starting to sweat about whether my lack of an MBA is gonna bite me in the rear down the line. Plus, with all the chatter about layoffs, I'm low-key freaking about whether my gig here is as solid as I thought. 

Any advice on how to navigate this maze? Should I bite the bullet and go for that MBA, or stick to my guns and trust that my track record speaks for itself? Appreciate any wisdom y'all can drop!

Confused on if I should get an MBA

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.
