MBA and Online Learning in May 2025: What You Need to Know
When thinking about MBA, a postgraduate business degree designed to build leadership and management skills for real-world careers. Also known as Master of Business Administration, it’s not just a credential—it’s a turning point for people switching careers, climbing the corporate ladder, or starting their own business. In May 2025, our readers asked the hard questions: Is it worth it at 50? How long does it really take? What’s the difference between full-time, part-time, and online options? We didn’t just give textbook answers—we shared stories from people who did it, broke down the hidden costs, and showed what you actually learn in class—not just what the brochure says.
And it wasn’t just about business degrees. Online learning, digital platforms that let anyone access courses from anywhere, anytime, without needing to enroll in a traditional school. Also known as e-learning, it’s changed how students in India prepare for exams, learn to code, or even pick up English. We looked at the top four platforms making a difference in 2025—what they charge, who they’re best for, and which ones actually help you get results. Whether you’re a parent helping your kid with math or a professional trying to switch to tech, you needed to know which platform won’t waste your time or money.
Meanwhile, students chasing top engineering and medical colleges were deep in prep mode. JEE Mains and JEE Advanced, two separate entrance exams that determine admission to India’s top engineering schools, with JEE Advanced being far more selective and difficult. Also known as IIT entrance exams, they’re not the same test, and confusing them can cost you a seat. We laid out exactly how they differ in format, difficulty, and what colleges care about. And for NEET aspirants, we cut through the hype around popular teachers like NV Sir—what his teaching style really looks like, who benefits most, and whether his methods match your learning pace.
Let’s not forget the cost of learning. Coding class cost, the price range for learning programming, from free YouTube tutorials to expensive bootcamps that charge thousands. Also known as programming course fees, it’s not always about spending more—you can get solid training without going into debt. We showed real numbers: what a $0 course gives you versus a $10,000 bootcamp, and how scholarships or payment plans can make a difference. And if you’re eyeing a government job, we told you which federal roles pay the least—so you know if you’re starting at the bottom on purpose or by accident.
Every article in this archive was written for someone who wants to make smart choices—not follow trends. Whether you’re 20 and starting IIT prep, 50 and thinking about an MBA, or just trying to learn coding without getting ripped off, you’ll find real talk here. No fluff. No sales pitches. Just what works, what doesn’t, and what you need to know next.
