Which of these are diplomas, not degrees?

2 of the 11 are PG Diplomas, not MBA degrees: IMT CDL. 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.

Are these Marketing programmes UGC-DEB approved?

9 of the 9 universities here record UGC-DEB entitlement as Yes in their published data. Entitlement is what makes an online degree valid in India, so check the university's page — and the UGC's own list — before paying.

What do these universities report on placements?

Average placements, as each university publishes them: NMIMS: 25 LPA; Symbiosis SSODL: ₹5–8 LPA; Manipal Jaipur: ₹6-7 LPA; Sikkim Manipal: ₹4–6 LPA; Parul: ₹4–6 LPA; IMT CDL: ₹8–12 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 Marketing specialization or to online cohorts.

How should you choose between them?

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.
