Some of the top institutions like IITs and IIMs from India offer PhD in HR. These highest levels of degrees give students access to better job opportunities and make them subject matter experts.

However, because of some limitations such as full-time commitment, intense stress and workload, it becomes difficult for a working professional to go for such PhDs by quitting their job. Looking at the problem and the big opportunity to solve this problem, some international universities came up with an online mode of a doctoral program named online DBA in HR. 

Online DBA specialized in HR is not available in Indian institutes because it is not approved by UGC, which makes students paranoid about taking up the degree and being not eligible to use the ‘Dr’ title with their name. To clear the confusion, Online DBA is accepted in Indian markets and also makes the candidate eligible to use the ‘DR’ title. Online DBA in HR makes it possible to get a doctorate with flexibility and convenience and allows working professionals not to quit their jobs while pursuing a PhD.

Online Phd or Online DBA in HR also provides quite a simpler admission process with no requirement of any entrance exam though 3 years of work experience with a bachelor’s degree is a must for candidates. The outcome of these programs would be the same as a full-time PhD, students can take up higher job roles and also move forward with further research.
