Is an online executive MBA from a reputed institute like the IIM worth your money? Is it better than a full-time MBA? What are the pros and cons to consider before applying for an MBA? Can you please elaborate?

Ans: Just to be clear, there is no online MBA from the IIMs

If you are talking about executive MBA, it offers some benefits like flexibility in scheduling classes and completing coursework, access to a strong alumni network and valuable connections.etc.

On the flip side, it might not provide the same level of in-person interactions, networking, and immersive learning experiences as a full-time MBA. Furthermore, Managing a full-time job along with an online EMBA can be demanding. Assess if you can effectively balance the workload and maintain high performance in both areas.
Also, the internships and career placement opportunities that might not be as prevalent in executive programs, impacting career transitions or shifts.

Take a well thought out decision!
