The job market you are studying into
Ahmedabad's economy is built on textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and a dense network of family-owned businesses and SMEs. Professional employment is less concentrated in large corporates than in Bangalore or Mumbai, which changes what a qualification is for: here it is more often about running or growing a business than climbing a corporate ladder.

Why professionals in Ahmedabad study online
A large share of learners here are running or joining a family business and cannot step away from it for two years. Online study lets them keep the business running while getting the formal management grounding the next generation usually lacks.
If you are joining a family business, the Entrepreneurship stream tends to be more useful than General Management - it covers financing and growth rather than corporate administration.

Studying online in Ahmedabad: common questions
Is an online degree recognised by employers in Ahmedabad?
Yes. A UGC-entitled online degree is equivalent to an on-campus degree for employment anywhere in India, Ahmedabad included. Where an individual recruiter is unfamiliar with online mode, the UGC equivalence position settles it.
Do I need to travel anywhere in Ahmedabad to study or sit exams?
No. Teaching, assessment and examinations are all online, with exams remotely proctored, so you can complete the whole programme from home or from your workplace.
Can I study while working full time in Ahmedabad?
Yes, and most learners here do. A large share of learners here are running or joining a family business and cannot step away from it for two years. Online study lets them keep the business running while getting the formal management grounding the next generation usually lacks.
Which programme should I pick?
It depends on the role you are targeting. If you are joining a family business, the Entrepreneurship stream tends to be more useful than General Management - it covers financing and growth rather than corporate administration. A counsellor can talk it through against your current job and where you want to get to.
When can I start?
There are two intakes a year, in January and July. Applications open at the start of each cycle and stay open for roughly two months.
