Yes, a DBA holds the same value as a PhD in India, and it is one of the best alternatives to a PhD. In India PhD is not allowed in online or distance mode, but if you want to complete a doctoral program with other commitments then you can opt for a DBA. Online DBA is offered by international universities that make its degree recognized across the globe. Whereas, the DBA takes 3-4 years to complete the program along with work. After completing the degree individuals can use the "Dr." title as well.

DBA and PhD both are doctorate degrees and add a "Dr." title to your name on completion. DBA is specific to the business field but a PhD can be done in any field based on your interest and last qualification. Both of them make you eligible for the teaching profession in India and abroad.


An important thing to keep in mind is that a PhD is approved and recognized by UGC but a DBA is not. That's the reason you won't find an Indian university offering a DBA. However, if you pursue it from a recognized international university, you will be accepted in the global job market including India.

DBA stands for Doctor of Business Administration, it is a doctorate program and after completing it you can add a “Dr” title before your name and this program is equivalent to PH.D program. Moreover, an Online DBA is the best alternative to a PH.D if you want to pursue PH.D without quitting your job. Furthermore, Online DBA is not approved by the UGC, but if you pursue it from any WES-recognized International university then your degree will be valid in all countries including India.
