Hi Ankur ,, I totally agree with you .. gaining knowledge while working is very effective and degree is important for getting promotions when we are competing in an environment of competition.. but it is not required to leave job for pursuing MBA. As well while doing online classes we get associated with all kinds of professional.. who are working in different fields as well. Recently I came across an online course Executive program in digital marketing which is an alternative to MBA offered by Digital Vidya in association of Deakin University.

[@himanshurathod5903]

I suggest job seekers/graduates should first concentrate on brushing and learning communication and networking skills. Ideally they should invest sometime on understanding how is the job market organized, what skills they should develop, and then proceed in a logical way. I read a post online in which a dad says to his son "Beta MBA karne se accha koi famous sports club/gymkhana ki membership le leta. Waha pe kaafi logo se networking ho jati"

I have something different to say. I worked in a 2 leading Chinese mobile companies (both in China & India) . I come from language and literature background and didn't have any businesses knowledge. In my last job I have worked for more than 2.5 years in various fields. I became part of core product because of my knowledge about Mobile industry and language speaking capability. Last February when I left my last organisation and joined a hardcore Swiss pharma giant, I realized I have learned many things which I never realized. Talking with my new team mates I realized I know a bit of everything they are talking. Be it product roadmap, or customer segmentation or consumer research. I never realized these when I was in my previous organisation. So my take is if you get in to a decent organisation and you are being given opportunity to grow, you can do wonders even without MBA. But I am planning for an fulltime MBA leaving my handsome salary and ready to bare the loss of opportunity cost.

[@warikoo]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Supriyo. The best way to acquire the knowledge of an MBA, is through real-life experiences, which is what you seem to have done. My congratulations for that :)

Hello sir. Been following your videos since 6 months. They are definitely eye opening and learnt a lot from you about personal finance and started implementing investing.

I also think online training from globally recognized colleges is worth it. I did a digital marketing training course online. They had live classes, flexible schedule and I learned a lot from my expert trainers. They encouraged a hands-on practical approach. My peer group was a mix of freshers and professionals. My training institute called Digital Vidya has recently collaborated with Deakin University that is globally recognized. Online training programs are suitable for anyone who wants to upskill and beginners.

Hi Ankur, Good evening. Like you have shared in couple of your videos, I also used to skip your adds a lot but then I diligently sat one day and listened to you in lot of your videos on different topics in a single day at strech and somehow have built a trust over you. Thank you for the content that you create. My specific question right now is that I am looking to take up a MBA - Business Analytics from UpGrad + NMIMS and just wanted to have your view point on it. The purpose is not at all to get a Masters degree as I already hold two of them, and I am working in Analytical research in Pharmaceutical industry since 11 years now. Expected Outcome: Leverage skills in Analytics (which I can primarily use in Biological research), vertical growth and understanding of complex pharma business environment and helping data driven decisions. Your inputs would add immense value and help me take up my decision.

[@amishjain7331]

Dear Warikoo, Some points which I understood after talking to online MBA course providers like upgrad. 1. They don't respect you as they respect their regular on-campus students, you are like second grade citizen to them. 2. You can't use College resources like libraries. 3. You don't have access to their on-campus placement programmes or any kind of assistance for job or careers ( which is only reserved for on-campus students) 4. Literally they are after your money and making fool out of poor students who already cannot afford their more expensive on-campus programmes. Please don't delete this comment let everyone give their views on it.

[@niksh3021]

This is the only concern I have too. The problem is I didn't performed well in my 10+2, but did well in bachelors. My concern is that I can't apply to top B-schools in India, becouse probably they will reject me bcoz of my poor academics, and when I think of online MBA, there're lot of scams going on that someone can't trust it.

[@sakshamjain1027]

Upgrad is good but let me tell you that after going through a course of MBA program, I discovered that most of the classes are pre-recorded in that session and only 10 to 20% classes are in the live format. So i think it is directly proportional to a distance program.

Hello @warikoo Choosing colleges in India is based on the placements in college. Also the companies are also hiring from top colleges only. And the people who are working and doing online MBA are not offered the same salary hikes, much much Below than then the salaries offered to fresher from a top institute full time program

[@SuccessChronicles006]

Hi! So you mean to say that online MBA programs are not considered equivalent to an on-campus full time MBA during salary hikes?

[@budhadithyamallick4259]

I have few questions about an online MBA if I do it from a top college: 1: If I want a MBB consultant job will that be anyway helpful? My observation: I strongly fill no. 2: Yes I do feel nowadays IIMs and ISB are really expensive and online MBA is quite affordable but will that give me a similar peer group. My observation: Selection criteria is IIM or ISB are way way harder than online MBA. So quality of peer group will never be same. And talking about fees one should not think about fees if admitted in elite schools. Lastly I am not a IIM or ISB guy but my personal observations by talking with successful MBA grads from top school. I will be more than happy to be provided wrong if did any mistake in any of the above points.

How can online MBAs bridge the gap of experiencing college culture? The interactions with other students who aren't in your class? I feel these are disadvantages of an online degree

[@luvaidarwajawala9699]

It can't, in one of his previous video's he himself pointed out that online MBA can't be compared to the offline MBA culture. I guess since he got the video sponsored, his views changed.

[@warikoo]

An online MBA canNot be compared with an offline one. However, I have stated this before - pick the best college over the course. Picking up a random offline MBA isn’t going to be better than a good online mba

[@ayushigoyal7178]

In online MBA , there is hardly any LIVE classes and even if LIVE classes happen the professors does not state the queries asked by students. As of my opinion , online mba is all about completing the assignments and clearing exams just to get a degree . There is no knowledge and interaction involved. Its just that you are doing online MBA just for the sake of adding it to you CV @warikoo please tell how people get knowledge and a good exposure from Online MBA. Please make a video on this.

[@roshankarthik.s]

@@warikoo yes I 100% agree with choosing the college over the course. Rather than opting for a random offline MBA, my personal opinion is that, it would be better to explore what are the various good universities that offer other PG business courses (assuming that is the field of interest) apart from an MBA.

[@swaha222]

If you're comparing with an IIM; it won't. If with raste ke pas wala college do you really want that culture to guide you?

[@life123454321life]

The problem is Indian companies don't recognize Online MBA, they want classroom one and in India From which college you did classroom MBA matters a lot. MBA as you said it is a different ball game. I also did MBA regular, The environment in classroom MBA is different. Grading is different you have to beat scores of others in order to pass in that subject, No matter how good you are if someone else is better than, you will loose. Assignments which we would do in the group have a different experience. But yes given a choice Online MBA as you explained would be better than Distance learning one

[@eboyblackout]

You still haven't understood his point, online MBA is an option for those people who can't leave their full-time jobs, who have a lot of other responsibilities. They have yo juggle a lot of other things while they look to also upskill. Also folks like me, who are looking to upskill or get another degree will opt for something like this. You are privileged and lucky that you had the financial backing and time to go pursue a full time MBA...but for the rest of the folks like me we had to stop at graduation because our parents couldn't fund our further education....so right now working and funding our own MBAs is the best thing. Last but not least MBA doesn't add any additional value to other than help you negotiate a better salary or stand out amongst the rest who also probably have a master's...this is that degree that will help your CV get to the hiring managers table, the rest everything I assure you after 10 yrs of working in the industry is only sheer hard work and what you actually learn on the job...no fulltime or part-time degree can help replace that. Hope you understand what the other side also meant thank you. Jai hind and all the best to the hustlers out there!

Online MBA doesn't have opportunities of team work, projects and cases study discussions, these are essence. In Class room MBA, provided you are serious takes 14 hours / day which is not possible in online MBA with work where you give only 3 hours per day on an avg

Hi Ankur, Greatly motivated by all of your videos.. as long as u r an Isb alumni putting a request to u.. your valuable comments on 1. AMPBA course from Isb 2. I am a btech grad with a exp of 6 years , working as a data scientist since last 1 year at tech giant.. how much this program can be relevant to me in terms of leading analytics projects.? Is this the correct time to learn & move into business management rather than core technical work?

Studying an online mba course and studying in IIMs is way different. Ik many ll say abt price of the course but i would personally recommend everyone to take loan and go for it, your 1st year package can just repay more than half of urs loan. I myself is studying CA (intermediate) rn but if i get an opportunity in future then i ll definitely go for it

[@PJ-cu4cl]

Not really, My bf is from IIM K, he is still paying his loan up even after 3yrs. He took Product management from Duke UpGrad se. So ROI is same, same or better job opportunities.

Kab kaha ki ye IIM ka replacement hai? Aur out of 150cr popullation of India, IIM me padhane vale kitane hai India me? Kitani seats hoti hai IIM ki? To agar IIM level se neeche ofline MBA worth nahi h ye clear hai, phir bhi online MBA ko disapprove karane ke liye IIM ko ghasitoge beech mai? Edit: sorry for harsh language, but mera dimag ka dhakkan uda hua tha ye likhate waqt. Are har koi IIM se compare karke disapprove kar raha h online ko comment me???

[@systemcrashdump]

Dear Ankur, I hope this comment catches your eye. My question is simple, will the companies in India prefer Online MBA ? Or the current company which people are working. If I am individual contributor and working in software development and as my career progresses I develop passion towards program management or marketing and decides to pursue MBA and If I do also does my current company accepts that? Say NO I start looking for opportunities outside, but I will have to take salary hit because I do not have experience in that field even though work experience is more in a different field, what's your opinion on this ? This is my 15th year in the IT Industry (electronics side), I tried distance learning from BITS in a different domain . First thing I did not see w.r.t my career growth being helpful. What do you advise for me I am passionate towards technical only but handling family, responsibilities but still want to pursue higher studies ? Thanks Rohith

[@MostTopbuzz]

BBA is far better then The MBA because MBA is a specialisation on a particular subject like finance, marketing etc, while BBA cover every aspect of business field, so if you Graduate in BBA then I would say start working in the market and after some time if you feel that you wanna pursue MBA then only enroll for MBA other Wise BBA from some Good reputed University is enough 🙏🏻 But at the end I also wanna mentioned that the complete Business & Management students are those who completed both BBA & MBA.

[@GauravSingh-lp2bc]

Warikoo videos were so nice previously , now he makes sponsored videos like this video which stresses on upgrad only when there might be many other options . Similarly he posted one for Navi Loans. It really feels bad when you create a career advice video or a financial advice video and promote a specific brand , while you could have given array of choices for users to consider. Many people might be blindly following these videos but i am sure people are mistaken on the career choices that they make seeing these sponsored career videos.

[@pbirbal4757]

Your point is right but not the argument sir. Log blindly follow kar sakate hai to kya unse dar ke hi video banaye? Naya perspective mila na? kuch info nayi mili na? Kuch aisa point raise hua na jo socha nahi tha? Bas. Ab khud ke liye kya best hai ye to khud hi samajhana padega.
