No use doing them. I see people doing online mca but what's the outcome none.

Doing master's is useless...let alone online🤔

Yes there are many institutions there by doing online mba mca like Vignan, Jain, Lpu.

Yeah these seem to be in my budget, i was hoping for tier 1 but they are all outside budget mostly

If it is tier 1 then you should afford more, what I said the colleges are mostly tier 2 you can try in these colleges which is budget friendly which you can pay monthly wise also

The only good one I know of is Georgia Tech OMSCS. It’s not cheap and certainly not easy.

Don't go for online MBA. MBA is about classroom experience and peer learning

Then what's with all the entrance tests? Even for online degrees? Seems strange tbh

Two positives: 
 1. Will give you Masters level knowledge if you personally put in efforts to learn the curriculum well 
 2. Will give you Masters degree credentials, which will count towards immigration requirements (e.g. Canada visa points), and for future study requirements (e.g. PhD)

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 Higher Education's Private Community

I am working since 2 years in IT industry and am thinking of not leaving job and doing online MBA from a top Institute. I am not very interested in IT and want to change my field in Marketing or Finance side. Fess is 10 lakh rs.
Is it worth it.
I see this as the best option since I am not very confident in cracking CAT and doing a offline MBA from this type of premier Institute.
Please share your thoughts on this. Any kind of comment or suggestion is much appreciated.

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

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?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

How valuable is an online MBA from an institution like NMIMS in comparison with a full time MBA. In terms of value, exposure, financial returns etc.

How valuable is an online MBA, would be nice if you can give a rough comparison with a full time MBA.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Non-engineering tier 1 grad here. Close to 1 YOE. 

At this point, I'm not sure which career path I want to choose. I see so many MBAs working in the same profile as me and honestly? I would never work in this role if I would've done an MBA 

I know that doing an MBA isn't magical and wouldn't solve all your problems. 

Maybe it makes sense for all those engineering grads who want to change careers or for people who are just looking at buying some time before they grow up.

I know I won't learn anything absolutely new because my undergrad was in a similar field. What it'll offer me is a good network and some pedigree, but at this point I'm not sure if it's worth it, especially for ~30 lakhs of fees.

I just want to hear from people who had a similar background (commerce/non-engineering) and if they had any regrets due to pursuing/not pursuing an MBA.

Will I be fine without an MBA?

I have heard mixed opinions about ISB/Abroad MBA. People who have done MBA what benefits did you get in MBA college and post that ? Did it help you in getting better job opportunities, better perspective of business, better network?. 
OTOH I have heard that MBA is an useless degree and not worth the time and money investment.
What are some pros and cons. Thanks.

What are the benefits of doing MBA ISB/abroad?

I'm an arts major working in the communications space, planning to do an MBA. I've GMAT focus books and English seemed doable on my own. I've been using online resources to study Math but I'm very confused as to what to study and how to study. So I've decided to go for a coaching but I've no idea which coaching is actually good, especially for someone who doesn't come from engineering or other Math background. Jamboree is charging over a lakh for coaching plus counselling on admissions while there's Y axis which is charging much lower at about 50k but doesn't have many reviews. I also read reviews on Jamboree being the typical marketing institute and not worth for money. Has anybody actually taken up or know anyone who has taken up GMAT coaching that helped them? It's critical I start preparing now if I have to start my MBA in 2025. As there are a lot of business folks here, I would appreciate any genuine help you can send this way. Thank you

Is MBA worth at this age while funding your two years through a loan.
Bg: B.com graduate from a tier 5 college lol (CA dropout ig that explains the clg choice)

MBA!

The way I see it, it's pointless to pursue higher education when the market's bad unless you have a very specific goal.

In most cases, a master's degree gives you a boost immediately after the degree. If you can't maximize your options immediately after your course ends, it'll be much harder to leverage it a few years down the line.

Careers don't grow linearly. You want to stack as many multipliers as possible. 

What do you think?

Would you prefer going for an MS/MBA in a good market or a bad market?

Product Manager

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

Are e-masters worth?

Hi i have 12+ years experience in marketing and i m into a leadership role. Did not feel the need to do mba, but recently while making a switch, got asked "Ju dont have MBA" lot of times. Wanted recommendations on any good distance/online universities. Thanks

Distance/online mba from which uni?

Computer Analyst

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. 

I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches.

I'd love to  hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

Why the heck do people do an MBA?

I can share, I was working abroad post my T1 engineering. So you can imagine it must be > 1L.  
  
 Like all those confused 20+ engineers, I asked one of my skip levels that how should one plan the career path. He gave me a simple framework, “Look at your boss or bosses boss. If you are ok living that life, you’re on the right path else time to think more”.  
  
 I got my answers, maybe try finding yours rather than seeking majority “votes” :)
