NCR, India | April 16th, 2026: Bennett University has
opened admissions for its Online MBA programme, aimed at working professionals, early-career individuals,
and aspiring managers seeking flexible, high-quality management education.
The programme
represents a significant step in the university’s ongoing efforts to expand
access to its academic offerings beyond the physical campus. Bennett
University, based in Greater Noida, holds a NAAC A+ accreditation and is
approved by UGC-DEB to offer online programmes under the UGC Entitled Category.
Designed to reflect the evolving nature of careers and workplaces,
the Online MBA covers core management areas such as strategy, marketing, finance,
operations, and people management, along with emerging domains including
business analytics and digital communication. It is delivered through a blend
of live and recorded sessions, enabling learners to balance professional
commitments with structured academic engagement.
In an increasingly complex
and fast-evolving business environment, management education continues to play
a critical role in developing strategic thinking, leadership capability, and
data-driven decision-making. At the same time, as careers become more dynamic,
professionals are seeking learning pathways that integrate seamlessly with
their work lives.
This shift is
increasingly reflected in both hiring patterns and workforce expectations.
According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) Corporate Recruiters Survey, nearly 90% of global
employers plan to hire MBA graduates, with 76% expecting to hire as many or
more MBA graduates compared to previous years.
The report also
highlights growing acceptance of flexible learning formats, with 55% of
employers indicating that they value graduates of online or hybrid
programmes on par with traditional formats, particularly in remote and hybrid
work environments.
Online MBA programmes therefore address this shift by offering flexibility without
compromising academic structure, enabling learners to continue working while
building skills aligned with evolving industry needs.
This need for
continuous learning is further reinforced by broader workforce trends.
According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, nearly 50% of all
employees will require reskilling by 2025, as rapid technological and
business transformation continues to reshape job roles and skill requirements
across industries.
Speaking on the
initiative, Mr. Vineet Jain, Chancellor, Bennett University, said:
“As the nature of
work continues to evolve, education must evolve alongside it. Professionals
today are looking for opportunities to grow without stepping away from their
careers. With Bennett Online, we are extending the university’s academic
strengths into a flexible format that allows learners to access high-quality,
future-ready education from anywhere. This initiative is also shaped by the
legacy of the Times Group, which has, for over 180 years, remained closely
connected with India’s evolving economy and aspirations.”
The programme
offers specialisations across key management domains, including Sales &
Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Logistics & Supply Chain
Management, Business Analytics, and Media Management, allowing learners to
align their education with specific career pathways.
Prof. (Dr.) Raj
Singh, Vice Chancellor, Bennett University, added:
“The Online MBA has
been designed to combine academic rigour with practical relevance. The
curriculum emphasises critical thinking, data-driven decision-making, and
real-world application through case studies and projects. Our focus has been to
ensure that learners not only gain knowledge but are able to apply it
effectively in professional contexts.”
As demand for flexible, employer-recognised learning pathways continues
to grow, the Online MBA seeks to offer a structured yet adaptable learning experience supported
by technology-enabled delivery and academic mentorship.
Applications are
currently open for the upcoming cohort.
