Yes it is. Somaiya Vidyavihar University gives out the degree and UGC has recognized that university. Plus the AACSB accreditation the institute holds gives it real weight so corporate employers in India and even abroad respect this qualification a lot. They see it right up there with other management degrees that are recognized properly.

Their flagship MBA for Working Executives takes 15 months total in an accelerated programme setup. That makes it different from the standard 2-year degrees out there since this one gets made just for professionals wanting to upskill fast and skip a drawn-out academic schedule.

Candidates usually must have a bachelor’s degree from some recognized university to qualify. And because the programme aims at working professionals most times they ask for a minimum work experience amount usually 2+ years. Then the selection looks over the candidate's academic profile plus work history and how they do in a personal interview.

Absolutely you can. They tailor the schedule right for working professionals and hold live classes mostly on weekends Saturdays and Sundays. So learners can handle professional responsibilities through the week and then put time into studies over the weekend. They also keep recordings available for review whenever needed.

The fee for their online or executive MBA gets structured more accessible compared to the full-time residential MBA because it leaves out campus accommodation or facility charges. That keeps it competitively priced even as an AACSB-accredited degree so interested candidates ought to verify latest figures straight on the official website.

Campus visits stay generally optional for students. The institute often puts together a Campus Immersion module that lets online learners visit the Mumbai campus a few days for networking and in-person learning sessions. Still the core academic requirements all complete remotely without issue.

They conduct assessments in digital form for online students. That means a mix of continuous internal evaluations like assignments quizzes participation and then term-end examinations run via secure online proctoring systems. Students take those exams right from their own locations.

AACSB accreditation serves as the primary differentiator since very few Indian online providers have that hallmark of quality. On top of that the 15-month format brings a faster return on investment than typical 24-month courses. And the programme goes beyond just a distance degree to offer an executive education experience delivered digitally all backed by a 40-year-old legacy institution.
