What is the difference between an online MBA and an on-campus MBA?
Generally, there is no difference. MBA programmes typically require around two years of full-time study. Most MBA degrees are comprised of one year of core business classes, and one year of specialized study. The only difference between the majority of on-campus and online MBAs is where the classes take place. While on-campus programmes offer students time for discussion in person, online MBA programs use internet-based tools discussion forums, audio and video lessons, email and chat to facilitate interaction with faculty and fellow students.
Will my degree certificate indicate I completed an online MBA programme?
The degree certificate from Bharathiar University will not specifically mention that the MBA was earned online. However, the individual mark sheets for each semester will have the name MaxValue Online mentioned.
Is my degree recognised?
Yes! The degree you earn is awarded by Bharathiar University which is a government university, recognised by the UGC (Universities Grants Commission).
Is an Online MBA programme as effective as attending classes on campus?
Yes! We would say it is even more effective than attending classes in campus. Unlike in a classroom where it is possible for students to passively receive information, in an online classroom, one has to actively participate in the process. Active participation results in better learning. In addition, because the learner controls the pace, the time of study and the intensity of work, learning is more effective.
Unlike in the regular class room where the faculty has no idea if the students are learning (till an examination is conducted), the analytics software tells the student as well as the teacher how well the student is performing and hence faculty intervention and student self-correction is possible.
The other advantage is that audio and video lessons can be listened to again and again. Apart from this, the student can participate in discussion forums where hundreds of students come from different industries and locations unlike the regular MBA where the interaction is only with a given set of students from the same city or town. Several qualifications such as CA, ICWA and ACS are respected by employers in spite of the fact that they are earned without attending any face to face classes.
Will employers in India value this online MBA?
Most employers value a programme based on the comprehensiveness and the relevance of the curriculum, academic rigorousness of the programme, credibility of the assessment process and the nature of the degree granting institution. Most Indian employers already sponsor and encourage their employees to take correspondence and part-time programmes offered by well-known universities.
