Is it just instinct, hard work and raw intelligence?
So, are all the business executives who make it big, born and not made (never once)? Like you, dear MBA aspirant, this blogger too has this rather puzzling doubt, after browsing through all those enormous websites and columns that scoff at the prospects of pursuing an MBA degree online.
They have statistics and survey reports to discourage you that even the knowledge one acquires from top MBA schools, won’t be able to take you to the ladders. And that most toppers in the field do not have a master degree in business administration. OK guys, but when was the first time an online MBA degree was awarded, to underrate its credential so much? Not before 1940, to believe history!
And shall we still think that education and training has nothing to do with business success? After all it’s only recently that on site as well as distance learning MBA programs have gained popularity. Those in business who do not have the degree today may be the ones who took the master of business administration degree lightly in its beginning or were merely ignorant of it.
Even the hardcore opponents of distance learning MBA may quite well accept the fact that it certainly opens the door to the corporate world. Moreover, a student who joins an online MBA degree program has the rare but sweeping chance to listen to business giants from world over and to explore case-studies sourced from real-time business situations. And to think about the insight you gain in the field through an MBA admission!
If you have the conviction and attitude to make it hit, dear reader, you may not get an appropriate time than this. For, after a brief lull, the corporate world is after accomplished online college degree MBA grads. And the salary, forget the dip it underwent, has rebounded for executives with a well-rounded business background. So believe me, it is not just instinct, hard work and raw intelligence alone. It means MBA too.

Online education in the US
Online education has opened the frontiers for those seeking knowledge or that professional degree much needed in today’s cut throat world. Employees or professionals and students who start working as soon as they earn their degrees are on the look out for some thing they can study from the comfort of their homes due to lack of time and commuting problems.
A US degree is regarded any day to be on the top notch compared to the other European counties. But the higher rate of tuition fees is a deterrent to students opting for their course in the US. The cost of a US MBA averages somewhere between $40,000 and $50,000 (source: businessweek.com). Australia and Britain offers comparatively lower rates. In the wake of this shift we have the online education systems which provide the mantra for success nowadays -- an MBA degree. This online degree comes at a comparatively cheaper rate than if the student had to enroll for a full time regular course. In addition most of the online universities give several options for choosing the modes of study like ‘rapid’ or ‘flexi’. Cal University is an ideal example for one such online institution.
Choosing the ‘rapid’ mode of study means you are the young student with ample time to suit your requirements with that of the university and cater to the schedules designed by your supervisor. It helps you earn your degree fast online. The other mode that is the ‘flexible’ one lets you choose for yourself the timings and is suited for the professional who does not have much of time at his/her hand. This is a traditional way of doing things and the printed course material is supplied. The course progresses based on the speed of the candidate and hence if you are fast enough and schedule your tests online in quick succession you need not lag behind the ‘rapid’ student. These different choices are created keeping in mind the different streams of students the online universities are hoping to gather.
While opting for an online education the first factor to be kept in mind is to check on the credibility of the institute as there are over 2000 online universities springing up. Other factors are the quality of the faculty and the student to faculty ratio.
The occurrence of fraud universities or the reality of the virtual degree has not hampened the onrush of the applicants and almost all the universities are being flooded by a number of applicants. This is definitely a better trend and we can look forward to a tomorrow “where education to all, anywhere and anytime becomes a reality.”

The great middle class Indian dream
Gone are the days when middle class Indians, irrespective of caste or creed, collectively dreamed about their children becoming doctors or engineers. Neither the lack of fanciful imaginations nor the non-existence of scope for improvement in any other field let them revise their dreams. Suddenly, a miracle occurred in the form of globalization…
Like never before, Indians found themselves running after MBA seats for their toddlers, in the Nation’s so far unrecognized Business Schools. And now, every year around 400,000 aspirants vie for MBA seats in various IIMs and private business schools by attending highly competitive admission tests like CAT, CET and JMET in India.
It’s no more a surprise now, so far as global corporate giants queue up at the gates of Indian business schools to campus recruit young but exceptional business talents. What makes India a fertile soil for MBA holders and a promising land for the corporate world outside may better be explained in terms of the hard work Indians are able to shoulder followed by an average dollar salary that exceeds Rs.35 lacs per annum and the booming economy that India is fast becoming.
While there are 1000 plus onsite B Schools in India, the cost (Rs.2.5 to 3 lacs), physical mobility and the time (generally 3-4 years) required to complete the course are encouraging a growing population to go for online MBA, which is far less demanding and convenient to pursue. A more encouraging gesture has recently been made by the Distance Education Council when it urged IIMs to offer online degrees in a bid to eliminate geographical boundaries.
A change is evidently in sight with many globally experienced online universities entering the MBA dreams of Indians with reduced price, shorter course duration, easy availability of scholarships and the faculty having on-hands business experience from the world over. The numerous consulting and banking firms which hover over the heads of Indian MBAs may not be recognizing the value of online MBAs now, but there’s no denying even by skeptics that the mindset has already shaken.
