How do they compare to online MBAs from universities abroad?

Question

An online MBA offered by a school abroad can be compared with the same offer made locally by an Indian school. One of the major differences between online MBAs offered by schools outside India and those offered locally by Indian schools lies in the fact that across the world, curricula seem to be more international. They focus more on global business practices generally and sometimes include a better spread of case studies and examples&hellip; which could be useful if you are eyeing a career in a multinational company. The Indian programs are likely to be more regionally oriented and respond to the requirements of business environments here.
Then, of course, there's the networking issue MBAs abroad tend to give you a much more extensive, geographically globalized network of alumni and industry professionals. That can be a huge boon if you want to work internationally. Indian MBAs, though improving in this space are still a bit more localized when it comes to such contacts.
Another big factor is the cost. Online MBAs from universities abroad can be very expensive, sometimes even reaching 20-30 lakhs, whereas Indian options are mostly cheaper, falling between 2-5 lakhs. It thus depends on what you are looking for &ndash; global exposure and a strong network or a low-cost-effective program that focuses more on the Indian business environment.
