Should you pick the Executive MBA at SP Jain School of Global Management?
This course suits working managers who want an MBA without leaving their job.
Pick it if:
You work with teams in the Gulf or Southeast Asia: the 2025 cohort came from 13 or more countries, including the UAE, Singapore and Malaysia, so classmates know those markets.
You cannot leave your job for a year: classes are live online on weekends, and the residency weeks in Dubai, Singapore and Mumbai are optional.
You are already a senior manager: 68% of the 2025 cohort were in senior management, so you study with people at your level.
You want to spread the fee over time: you can pay monthly for 18 months, but paying in one go saves you INR 1.52 Lakhs.
Skip it if:
You want a government job in India that asks for a UGC degree: this is an Australian degree, and SP Jain states it is not approved by UGC or AICTE.
You want a campus job offer with a published pay figure: the school prints no placement rate and no average pay for this course, so the next move is yours.
You have less than 3 years of work: the school needs 3 full years after your degree, so apply once you cross that line.
You want a small class: the 2025 online cohort had 281 students, so you share live sessions with a large group.
Counsellor's advice
If your employer or a future job needs a UGC or AICTE approved degree, ask HR in writing before you pay anything. If it does not, apply by 18 Sep 2026 and pay in one go if you can.
