Operations

Yes, you can pursue an MBA in Operations through online or distance mode. I actually explored this option when I was looking at ways to continue working while studying, and flexibility was the biggest reason I considered it.

A friend of mine chose an online MBA in Operations because he already had a full-time job and couldn't attend regular college classes. He told me that the course helped him understand areas like supply chain, logistics, process management and operations planning without having to leave his job.

I also looked into LPU Online during my research. LPU Online offers UGC-entitled undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, so it was one of the options I came across while comparing programmes.

One thing I'd suggest from my experience of researching these courses is to check the university's recognition, curriculum, exam pattern and how much flexibility you actually get. Online study sounds easy at first, but keeping up with assignments and classes alongside work does require some discipline.
