Hear from our students  

What’s better than hearing about the hassle-free experience at Online Manipal from our students? We asked our learners about our programme structure, faculty, digital syllabus, and other key features.  

Some of our learners are either married or have a family to look after. Despite personal challenges, here’s how Online Manipal has facilitated a hassle-free degree opportunity for them.  

Nadiya Maryam, BBA student 

I completed my schooling in 2012. Not knowing what to do further, after a few years, I got married and was blessed with two beautiful children. However, everything came to a standstill when I realised that I hadn’t achieved anything for myself. That’s when I decided to pursue an online degree and my husband was supportive. We came across an advertisement on Instagram about MUJ (Manipal University Jaipur) and their courses. I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me to become a graduate. I was eligible for a merit scholarship, and I could attend classes on weekends and all the study materials were available on one website. Online Manipal has flexible class timings and an amazing faculty who provide necessary assurance even on weekends. I would recommend Online Manipal to my friends and known sources who wish to pursue a degree like me. 

Shaijan Chhimpa, BBA student 

I wanted to pursue a degree but was helping my father in running his business in the village. Thanks to Online Manipal, I am pursuing my degree from home and helping my father as well. The course has taught me various aspects related to business. I am also learning a lot from my peers. The free access to Coursera content is extremely helpful in enhancing skills. 

Many of our learners are working professionals, who want to pursue a degree to enhance their skills without quitting their jobs. In that sense, here’s how Online Manipal has helped them balance their work life and academics.  

Umesh T, MBA student 

I am Umesh T From Mysuru, Karnataka. I completed my Diploma in mechanical engineering in 1996 and BTech in mechanical engineering in 2004. I have an overall experience of 25 years in various departments including production, planning, procurement, purchase, and stores. I wanted to pursue my MBA to further enhance my knowledge. I chose Online Manipal to pursue my MBA because it offers a degree from a premier institution, especially for working professionals, who can gain vast knowledge about management related subjects. The curriculum is excellent, and the integrated learning management system (LMS) was simple and helpful.  

Sreechand Chandra, BCA student 

I have been working as a software engineer after pursuing a diploma in electronics. The exposure to different projects demanded more insights into databases and computer applications. I decided to pursue an online degree so that I can balance my work life and continue learning various in-demand skills. Online Manipal courses are flexible, and the interactive live sessions were an add on to make it a top-notch course. 

Krishnal Lohana, MBA student 

I graduated with a degree in Commerce two years ago. Being passionate about business and accounting, a couple of my family members recommended that I take up an MBA. With Online Manipal, I could improve my skills, knowledge, and career prospects. Classes are more convenient and flexible when compared to traditional learning platforms. This flexibility allows me to balance work, studies, and family life. The fact that online programmes are more affordable than traditional campus settings is a boon. 

George Daniel, BBA student 

I was working as a software engineer before I decided to pursue an online BBA degree. I decided to pursue an online degree because I only had a diploma, which is not as valuable as an undergraduate degree. I chose Online Manipal because of various advantages it offers like in-depth subject learning, quizzes to gauge knowledge, balanced course fees, and a balanced course structure. The live interactive sessions were quite fascinating. E-libraries consist of several knowledgeable articles that provide in-depth information. The course helped me enhance my technical ability to solve problems.  

Sumanth Swamy PK, MBA student 

I always had the hunger to pursue my master’s degree because I wanted to explore the management side of a company. When I got the right opportunity to do it, I took up an online degree with Online Manipal. One of my relatives pursued an online MBA with MAHE and it turned fruitful. Inspired by her, I took up the same course and I am happy about my decision. I am confident that I can manage my work and studies. The faculty put a lot of effort into clearing doubts. 

Flexible classes and accessibility being the brownie points of pursuing an online degree with Online Manipal, here’s what our learners had to say about their hassle-free experience.  

Rakesh Rajan, MBA student 

I am an Indian coast guard officer from technical branch. I have completed my BTech in mechanical engineering and PGD. The online degree programme with Online Manipal served as a boon during the pandemic, since colleges were struggling to provide learning material virtually. Thanks to Online Manipal, I opted for an online MBA in financial management. This course provides in-depth knowledge about varied fields of expertise. The online LMS is easy to understand, and the classes are very interactive. Also, the degrees offered by these universities are recognised by UGC.  

One of our learners was previously pursuing distance learning courses. However, Online Manipal has provided a hassle-free experience and added value to his degree.  

Madhusudan SK, BCA student 

Before opting for an online degree from Manipal University, Jaipur, I attended evening classes and distance learning courses. But they were uncomfortable and had low market value. Then I realised that MUJ’s online degrees are accessible and affordable. Soon I got comfortable with online learning due to flexible class timings, e-libraries, free Coursera content and mentor assistance.  

In what we take pride, Online Manipal offers a 50% discount on fees to employees of Manipal group and their family members. Here’s how one such employee earned the benefit and pursued a degree of dreams.  

Nirmala V, MBA student  

I have been working with Manipal for the last 25 years. After joining the Manipal family, I got to use the computer for the first time. After working with several departments, I decided to pursue an MBA. I took up MUJ’s online MBA programme. I am very thankful that I got a 50% reimbursement on my fees. Due to flexible payment options, I could support my family and manage my studies. At the age of 48, my dreams have come true.
