Benefits of studying online

MBA questions

Still unsure? Ask an advisor.

What marks do I need for an online MBA?

Most universities ask for a bachelor's degree with 50% marks; some relax this to 45% for reserved categories and some print no minimum. The exact rule for each university is in the comparison table.

Can I choose two specialisations?

Some universities offer dual specialisation, for example Sikkim Manipal University and Manipal University Jaipur. Others offer one. Each university page lists its specialisations.

Is an online degree valid for jobs and government exams?

Yes, when the university is entitled by the UGC to teach that programme online in your admission year. Check the DEB approval line on each programme page; we show the row number from the UGC-DEB list so you can verify it yourself.

What is a DEB ID and an ABC ID?

The ABC ID is your Academic Bank of Credits account; the DEB ID is created from it on the UGC-DEB portal. Universities ask for both at admission. Your advisor will help you create them.

How are exams held?

Most universities hold proctored online exams at the end of each semester. Some, such as VIT, hold the end-term exam at a centre. Each university page says which.

Are there extra charges beyond the programme fee?

Usually a registration or application fee, and sometimes an exam fee per semester or per course. We list them under every fee table, copied from the university's brochure.
