O.P.Jindal Global University UpGrad MBA

[David1477]

I came across this when checking their website: https://jgu.edu.in/jgbs/online-mba/

It doesn't show on UpGrad's MBA list, but they have a page for it if you search for it via Google: https://www.upgrad.com/by/mba-opj-global-university/

The price seems to be at 1.800$ for a 1 year online MBA with some live sessions on weekends. (I live in Eastern Europe, so the time difference isn't that bad)

As I understand, O.P. Jindal is a real university in India that is one of 4 private institutions deemed to be university (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutes_of_Eminence)


I heard that India doesn't recognize online degrees in general. However, this is an Indian university offering online degrees (via Coursera as well). So, are these degrees accredited and recognized internationally? I feel like Coursera wouldn't partner with sketchy universities, but who knows...

What do you guys think about this? They offer a similar (but longer and more expensive) MBA via Coursera. Does anybody here have experience with this?

If this is a legit degree, I feel like it could be a fantastic deal. It is just weird that UpGrad doesn't show it in their MBA listing and that an Indian institution offers online degrees while not accepting online degrees inside their country.


EDIT: I found a landing page for the program as well: https://programs.jguonline.edu.in/online...kAQAvD_BwE
