DU SOL Launches Distance MBA Program Without CAT Requirement
Introduction
The DU SOL offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program without CAT scores. DU introduced the MBA programme in distance mode under its School of Open Learning in the 2022-23 academic year. The SOL operates under the Department of Distance and Continuing Education (DDCE). This program offered by the DU SOL is useful for working professionals to improve their skills. It is considered a 'strategic move' by workers to get higher work positions and salaries.
A software developer, Rohan Kumar, said, “I work as a software developer in a private firm in Delhi. I have noticed that colleagues with MBA degrees hold higher positions. An MBA is a vital qualification for advancing in private sector jobs. I believe this degree from SOL will pave the way for promotions and higher salaries.”
"Our goal is to enrol between 2,500 and 3,000 students annually, but we often surpass that number. This year, we’ve confirmed about 3,100 admissions, and we may even exceed 4,000", said Professor Payal Mago, director of SOL, DDCE. Admissions for the 2024-25 academic session began on 3 June after DU SOL released its fourth merit list in late September.
Affordable MBA Delhi University
Mago said, "After joining SOL in December 2022, I noticed many DU students seeking letters of recommendation to pursue MBAs abroad or in private institutions in India, often paying between Rs 7-30 lakh for their degrees. This prompted me to start an affordable MBA programme. With approvals from Delhi University, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and the University Grants Commission (UGC), we began offering the course. My goal is to provide students with an MBA at the lowest possible cost.”
The MBA program offered by DU SOL is affordable and has relaxed eligibility criteria, and it is the best option for working professionals.
Candidates must have graduated with at least 50% marks from a recognized university, in any discipline to enrol into the MBA program. SOL gives 80% weightage to graduation marks and 20% to work experience, while other institutions give admissions based on exam scores, personal interviews, and work experience. Candidates without work experience are also eligible for the program.
