It was easy to manage. There are videos and readings, but if you focus on the quizzes and written assignments, it's easily doable.

Going out on a limb and saying "no" for three reasons.
1) programs already getting cheaper.
2) programs are in another nation
3) programs are already getting shorter

I know it is likely a minor point. But I worry about how the weird name of the place might be viewed on a resume.
Looking at their MA in security and international relations. Cheap and with an indo Pacific focus

It looks to me like "Jindal Global University" is a short form used legitimately if not officially. (Jindal University would not be unambiguous. Jindal Global is the university in Sonipat in Haryana state. There's a separate "O.P. Jindal University" in Raigarh in Chhattisgarh state.)

I don't understand. What's weird about the name? "Global"?

A person's first and middle name abbreviations at the start of the university name is unusual, and the long formal name "O.P. Jindal Global (Institution of Eminence Deemed To Be University)" is unusual to American ears.

Interesting. The OP doesn't strike me funny but I am also used to interacting with people from European universities with names that look like alphabet soup (because They include a bunch of initials, not because they are from another language). I guess the other part looks weird, but I've never had an employer ask for my diploma, and I don't think I've seen anyone add the (Institution of Eminence Deemed To Be University) on their LinkedIn.
