Honestly speaking I don't think recruiters/ hiring managers value online MBA credentials much. There are already several full time MBA folks and the number of good roles are limited. You should look for full time programs only. Otherwise it might feel like a waste. Full time will need you to lose 1-2 yrs of pay and more expenses but returns will be more substantial

Thanks for sharing, makes sense. What about a full time executive MBA from IIMs?

@Itachi777 why would you tell them it's an online MBA. The degree one gets is MBA and is recognised by UGC

If you live in Bangalore you should also consider PGPEM at IIMB

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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.

IIM-K EPGP (Online, 2 Years)

IIM-K EPGP (Online, 2 Years)- Grapevine

I have an offer from IIM-Kozhikode (EPGP) and ISB (PGPpro).

IIM-K is approx 15 lakhs, 2 year-long program. Classes every weekend, but have to attend online at a centre in Bangalore.

ISB is approx 30 lakhs, 1.5 year-long long program. Classes alternate between online one week and in-person (Bangalore) one week.

No Executive MBA offers placements. I'm doing this for the sake of a higher education, and hopefully securing leadership roles in Big Tech in the longer run.

Purely from a ROI standpoint, which college should I choose?

Which Executive MBA to choose?

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?

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.

As an IT professional with 4 years of experience is suggested to take up a distance learning program for MBA? Will it add value and open doors for opportunities?

If yes, then should it be PGDM or MBA? Also, if someone can suggest the best university/institute that can be targeted.

PGDM or MBA?

Software Test - QA

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?

PGDBA - IIMC + IITKGP + ISIK ???

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?

Should I go for an MBA?

Welcome to Higher Education's Private Community

Hey folks! Anyone here who has done or knows anyone who’s done the IIMB EPGP or ISB PGP - specifically someone with 5+ years of experience. 

Trying to understand pros and cons of each. Happy to add more details as needed.

Strategy & Operations

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.

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

I joined an MBA program while I was making close to the average salary of post MBA grads. 
  
 Few things to remember: 
  
 1. Opportunity cost of a 2 year MBA is humongous. The PGP at IIMs will cost you a crore+. Imagine trying to get an ROI on it. 
  
 2. PGP at IIMs are filled with freshers and low work experience folks which naturally means there are very few senior roles on offer. So you may not find the right level after MBA. 
  
 3. It's best to restrict yourself to 1 year programs like ISB's PGP and IIM's PGPX. 
  
 4. Be really sure of what you want from the MBA. You can easily switch to SDM or product roles without MBA. Recommend giving that a shot if you are just tired of SDE

Hello everyone,
Has anyone appeared for the IIMB test to get into their MBA program? I need some advice as to how to prepare. Would it be easier to opt for GMAT or GRE?

Hi 
Is executive mba from IIM Kashipur 2years program valuable..

Executive MBA

I am thinking of doing an executive MBA for a better salary hike. I am not in a situation where I would want to drop my current job and take up a regular MBA, moreover executive MBAs let you get those degrees from good colleges. I am currently getting 7.8LPA, how much hike can I expect by the end of my executive MBA?
