What is the total duration of an Online DBA program?
1 Answer
The total duration of an Online DBA program is 36 months (3 years). This is shorter than a traditional on-campus PhD, which typically takes 5-6 years to complete.
The program is offered by top-tier foreign universities and follows international academic standards, since UGC has not yet approved DBA in an online format in India. Despite this, a DBA from an accredited international university is fully valid and recognized in India.
Some universities allow the program duration to be extended for candidates who need more flexibility to balance work and research. On successful completion, graduates can add the title "Dr." to their name.
