A UGC-entitled, two-year management degree you can earn while you work — with 15+ in-demand specialisations.
About Online MBA
An Online MBA is a two-year postgraduate management degree delivered through live and recorded classes on a digital learning platform. It covers the same core subjects as an on-campus MBA — finance, marketing, HR, operations and strategy — followed by a specialisation of your choice in the second year.
It is built for working professionals, graduates who want to move into management and entrepreneurs who want structured business knowledge without leaving their job or city. Degrees awarded by UGC-entitled universities in online mode carry the same value as a regular MBA for jobs and higher education.
