Is an online MBA degree valid in India?

Yes — provided the university is UGC-entitled to offer the program in online mode and holds recognized accreditation (NAAC/NIRF-eligibility). Every program on Admit Sutra is offered by a UGC-recognized institution, and we recommend confirming the current entitlement status on the university's official website before paying any fee.

Do I need an entrance exam like CAT for an online MBA?

For the online-mode MBAs listed here, no national entrance exam is mandatory — universities assess your graduation eligibility directly, and some conduct a short interaction or aptitude check. On-campus MBAs are a different track with different entrance requirements.

What documents are required for online MBA admission?

Typically: 10th/12th/graduation mark sheets, degree or provisional certificate, government photo ID, and passport-size photographs. Each university page lists its exact checklist.
