Have you ever imagined your life without your mom, sister, or wife? Horrible! Isn’t it? Well, if they mean so much to you, have you ever taken a stand to defend them from the typical stereotype of society? Of course, most of you must have, but why must you speak up for them? Why can’t they be their Bosses?

Being educated is one of the primary steps towards being independent. So, why can’t we provide them with the opportunities they missed? Well, the tables have turned around & slowly but surely, we are moving in that direction by providing them with easy access to higher education. Most women in our country are just 12th passed, and only a few of them make it to graduation who have supportive families & are financially strong. Master’s is just there in their checklist & it takes a lot to bring it down to their resume.

Thankfully, all of this was before we were not familiar with an online mode of education, but now getting a master’s degree is as easy as doing any other task of your daily routine. The most opted degree among working women & housewives is an Online MBA that empowers them in all possible ways. Educational portals like CollegeVidya have made higher education accessible for all the women out there.

Why Online MBA?

One of the bitter truths of our society is that we only like to brag about the issues & are least concerned about resolving them. The business domain of our country has outnumbered women. Of 49% of the female population in India, only 13% of them comprise the category of CEOs & entrepreneurs.

Can you point out the reason for this gender inequality in the professional world? Well, the lack of education side-tracks women from this male-driven business world. 

Online MBA is gaining popularity & fame among women because of a varied number of reasons:

•    The flexibility that helps you balance your personal & professional life— As per a report, women spend 11-25 hours/week on domestic work along with their professional routine. With an online MBA, you do not have to worry much about time commitments. 

•    Valid & credible, just like an on-campus MBA— Online MBA program at recognized & authentic universities/institutions has maintained its credibility & holds a weightage similar to the full-time MBA program.

•    Fits Your Pocket— Looking at the impact an online MBA can have on our society & economy, most universities & academic institutions offer an affordable range that fits everyone’s pocket. 

•    Similar Connectivity & Curriculum Like a Full-Time MBA— An online MBA program provides a real-time classroom-based experience via a digital mode that involves faculty & peer interactions. With an updated curriculum, this program has created a great number of business professionals who outshine this domain.
