I am planning to do MBA but my main focus is on ACCA, just doing MBA for a Degree but is it worth does it have value? Btw its from the Pondy univeristy
Kindly help
I’ve been exploring a few options recently and noticed there are a lot of people confused about which colleges/universities to choose, fees, placements, etc.
If you’re planning to start an Online MBA or are currently researching, drop a comment or DM. Maybe we can share info, compare options, and help each other out.
I'm looking to get some advice. I'm 45, worked 15 years at a global consulting company, worked my way up the ladder, and I'm currently an Associate Manager that leads multiple projects. I might be late at getting my MBA, but it's one of my goals, and I'm doing it.
I've been accepted to the University of Houston and the University of Florida online MBA program. I would love to go to UF, but it's $20k more in tuition, and they require a 3.0 GPA at all times. UH doesn't have any conditions with GPA. Make a 2.0 and you're good to graduate. With having 2 young kids and possibly a 3rd, I know I'm going to have to sacrifice my time to complete my MBA. I'm willing to do that.
I guess my question is, is spending $20k extra worth it to get my MBA from UF instead of UH? If I go to another company to make more money or advance my career, will they not care as much with an MBA from UH or do they even care what school its from. I hear some companies don't care what school you go to as long as you have your MBA.
I appreciate everyone's thoughts and comments. I have a big decision that needs to be made soon. Thank you.
I’m 15 credits into a 39 credit online MBA at UMass Amherst. They recently updated the curriculum to be more relevant to today’s world. I’m currently in Marketing and want to continue that path of emphasis with electives upon completion of the core credits.
Now that I’ve gotten closer to that core completion mark, I’m not that impressed with the UMass offerings for marketing. I read the reviews for several of the marketing courses on rate my professor and it sounds like the classes are lacking as well. Many commented that even though they are not in marketing it was repetitive outdated material.
Is it worth investigating a transfer? Any fellow marketers out there with a similar experience?
Some people go back because of career pressure.
Some because of unfinished business.
Some for personal closure.
If you finished (or are finishing) your degree later in life, what finally pushed you to do it?
And was the experience what you expected?
Hi everyone,
I recently enrolled in the IIT Patna MBA in Generative AI & Product Management (hybrid program) and wanted to get some honest, ground-level insights before I fully commit my time and expectations to it.
A bit about me: Background in Data Science + Economics ~2 years of experience (including government projects)
Goal: Transition into AI Product / Strategy / Consulting roles I chose this program mainly to: Avoid a career gap Add an IIT brand to my CV Move into higher-level roles (not just coding)
My Key Questions: Degree Value How is this hybrid MBA from IIT Patna perceived in the industry? Is it treated close to a regular MBA, or more like an executive/online program?
Alumni Status Do students from this program get full IIT Patna alumni status, or is it separate?
Career Impact Has anyone actually transitioned into Product / AI / Consulting roles after this?
Realistically, what kind of salary jump or roles can one expect? ROI Perspective Considering the fees (~₹4L), is the ROI decent if I’m already working? Or would building projects + experience alone give similar returns?
NET/SET Eligibility Since IITs don’t come under UGC, is this MBA valid for UGC NET/SET exams? Has anyone used such a degree for academic eligibility?
Program Quality How rigorous is the curriculum actually? Is it mostly theoretical or does it genuinely help in real-world applications?
Any red flags / downsides that aren’t obvious from the brochure or counseling calls?
My Intent I’m not relying on placements from this program. I plan to: Build projects Network actively Am I on the right track, or overestimating this program?
I'm definitely more of a poet rather than a Quant. So I'm looking at different programs and trying to weigh them.
