The study reveals rapid growth in online DBA programs compared to traditional doctoral students

A study by College Vidya has revealed a significant change in educational preferences, with online doctoral programs in business administration (DBA) which testify to the growth of registrations per month of 30%, exceeding traditional doctorates in areas related to companies.

The study attributes this increase to professionals in mid-Carrier with 5 to 7 years of experience in sectors such as technology, marketing and artificial intelligence. Unlike doctoral students, which are aimed at those who pursue academic careers, ADDs are designed for professionals aimed at leadership roles. The data show that 70% of DBA graduates secure CXO level positions, while doctoral inscriptions fell at only 150 per month, against 300 for DBA.

Online DBAs, generally completed in 3 to 4 years, focus on case studies and real world commercial strategies, leading to a 40% salary increase and an employability rate of 90%. On the other hand, doctoral students require 5 to 7 years of theoretical research, mainly preparing candidates for the university world.

Geographically, DBA online inscriptions extend to Hyderabad, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Western Bengal, Gujarat and Delhi, highlighting an increasing preference beyond metropolitan cities. The study suggests that professionals opt for ADDs to accelerate career growth, improve personal brand image and have a direct impact on industry.

Rohit Gupta, COO and co-founder of College Vidya, stressed the trend, declaring: “Mid-carrier professionals are engraved towards DBA online compared to doctorates for their practical objective and their impact on rapid career. Registrations ranging from 30% monthly and 70% of graduates progressing leadership stations, ADDs redefine educational value. ”
