Disclosure. We run one of the programmes described on this site — the IICT and IIPM online MBA. It is deliberately excluded from the tiers below, which are ordered by statutory standing, something we neither control nor hold ourselves. Ours is here, labelled, so you can weigh it against everything else yourself.
What this tells you
- Standing is conferred by statute and is not in doubt.
- Where they run online programmes, these are usually certificates or diplomas rather than degrees.
- Fees are typically the highest of any route.
- Check very carefully what is actually awarded — the name of the institute is not the name of the award.
What it does not tell you
The register records that this institution exists and what category it is in. It says nothing about whether an online MBA is currently offered here, what it costs, how it is taught, or what the outcomes are. We do not rank institutions on those things because we cannot verify them at this scale.
The three checks, in order
- Is the programme running this session? Ask the institution directly.
- Is it entitled for the mode? Ask for the UGC-DEB entitlement letter naming the programme, the mode and your intake year.
- What is the total fee? In writing, from admission to certificate, not per semester.
Standing is settled. The rest is not. This tier answers the question of who awards and under what authority. It does not answer whether the teaching is good, and no honest source will tell you that without data.
