Planning to take up MBA as career ?

Hello Readers!

MBA courses in India can be very expensive. Popular and recognized MBA institutions can cost approximately Rs. 25 lacs for their post-graduate programs. As a result, upon graduation students find themselves stuck in a vicious cycle of debt and uncertainty, because, conventional MBA is becoming redundant, especially after COVID, even students from premier B-Schools are compromising big time on their compensation.

In order to avoid the same pitfalls, I began exploring alternatives to the conventional MBA programs. My aim was to identify a specialized management program that was not only relevant to the changing business environment but would also give me a better return on investment.

During my research, I came across a post-graduation program in Digital Social Media and IoT. The program is an alternative MBA. According to a Forbes article, alternative MBA’s have a much better return on investment as compared to traditional MBA programs. They call it the next Netflix!!

The program I mentioned earlier is being offered by iMET Global and it has been recommended by India Today and Business World as one of the top courses to join if one wishes to secure a high paying job during a pandemic.

Also, iMET Global is a part of Pradurbhav Foundation for Skills and Social Development, a section 8 not-for-profit entity.

The course content seemed to be very relevant and up to date with the latest trends in the industry. In this blog, I will be going into further detail about some of the courses that are being offered by iMET Global.
