1 of the 7 is a PG Diploma, not an MBA degree: Symbiosis SCDL. A PG Diploma is a recognised qualification and is often the cheapest way into the subject, but if a role or a further course requires a master's degree, confirm that a diploma is accepted before you enrol.
6 of the 7 universities here record UGC-DEB entitlement as Yes in their published data; Symbiosis SCDL records it as No. Entitlement is what makes an online degree valid in India, so check the university's page — and the UGC's own list — before paying.
Average placements, as each university publishes them: NMIMS: 25 LPA; Amity: ₹4–7 LPA; Manipal Jaipur: ₹6-7 LPA; Symbiosis SCDL: ₹5–7 LPA; Shoolini: ₹8–12 LPA; LPU: ₹7–8 LPA; DY Patil: ₹4–6 LPA. These are the universities' own figures and are not specific to the Data Science specialization or to online cohorts.
Fee is one input. Before you decide on price, check three things on each specialization's page: whether the university is UGC-DEB entitled, whether you graduate with a degree or a diploma, and the duration — a 1-year diploma and a 2-year MBA are not the same commitment. Then compare the fee breakdown, because the semester-wise, annual and one-time figures differ, and paying upfront is usually cheaper.
If two options are close, a free counsellor can walk you through the trade-offs in 15 minutes — we do not earn from your enrolment.
