Let's address the looming question up front: "Is an online MBA worth it?"
I have been asked this question a zillion times in the last 3-4 months. Here's my attempt at answering this:
1. World-class Faculties: This was my top reason for joining a premier B-school. Though the medium has changed, the experience of learning from the eminent professors has not changed a bit. If anything, we are now able to get even more visiting professors than before. Attending live classes from Victor Cheng and Aswath Damodaran was a sheer delight and it probably wouldn't have happened if not for online.
2. Alum connect: Thanks to the online meetings, we now get to hear from our distinguished alums across the globe. Many of them were not able to travel frequently due to various commitments, but that obstacle has been removed in the new normal.
3. Campus Life: Now that we have started our campus life, we are getting to know our batchmates better. Within the bounds of restrictions, we are able to forge a bond that can only be formed by going through challenging times together. Our batch is unique and so is our camaraderie.
4. Placements: The placement team at ISB is unmatched. Ever since the session started, they've been actively working with the industry leaders to stay on top of things. We are seeing amazing responses from the firms thus far.
I hope I have addressed some of your queries. Feel free to DM for any help!
