I am pursuing an online MBA from IIMA, with an aim to make a career switch. I have been employed in the Defence Services for past 20 years. Is online MBA is worth for a career switch once I plan to take a VRS or should I explore other options?

Ans: Online MBA does not have a great value of its own. But if you have a good relevant experience then it can add value. So look out for job in area where you have worked. Can also do short courses to build skill sets required for the job you want.
