Nope.. for universities, it is a chance to cash in their brand built over years ( presumably)... For edtech it is source of revenue, so they will say that it holds great value... Yet to see a HR who preferred Upgrad degree holder, vs an individual who actually went and lived through the period of education in person, mostly after clearing competitive exams

Rightly said. That is why I had to quit my job to pursue masters

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?

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 😕?

Hello everyone 
I have been thinking about pursuing my masters and I've seen many Universities providing online degree courses. Anyone has any idea whether these programmes are valid and should I go for it?

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 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?

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!

I am currently looking at e-masters programme (ms in ai & ml) by IiIT-h. It's self paced online only with 1-1 mentorship on weekends. Will be part of the alumni and placement (support only). I am considering this because my ug is non technical although I work in tech.
Any suggestions would help too

Hi all, we all know how messed up the market is right now. I currently have a work experience of 1.6 years,and I am thinking if I should go for a masters in CS abroad or not. Considering the market scenario abroad I am a bit afraid to take the big leap, but right now I can see the scenario is not much better in India as well, facing difficulty in switching also. I would like to concentrate on one line - masters or job switch. Please guide me.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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).

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

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.

Not sure how to put this, does it really have any value?

Is online MBA worth it?

Background : I am a product designer with a few  years of experience in the industry. I already have a B.Des degree and I'm seeing that the standard route for people with my background is to do a masters in design. 

From my time working I've seen that people who are good designers irrespective of whether they have some sort of design degree or not are doing well. Which makes me unsure whether I should take up masters or not. This might be a very biased take since the sample size is very small.

All in all, I wanted to understand if a masters degree holds a high valuation like in other industries.
