I am a serving Indian Coast Guard Officer from the Technical Branch and have been serving the nation over the last 10 years. An online degree is an opportunity for me to improve my academic knowledge. I want to upgrade my knowledge, skills, and vision for future developments and job opportunities with sufficient growth in my career or a career jump too.

I always had a hunger to pursue my master's and transition into management roles. But I couldn't find interesting options that would help me earn a degree while working. An online MBA was the only way I could transition into Management roles.

After 25 years of work experience, at 48, I could rekindle my dreams of pursuing a PG degree. Now, I feel more confident at work. The eagerness to learn and achieve my dream inclined me towards studying; with my critical job timing and the responsibility of taking care of my family, I realized studying online is the best option for me to earn my degree.

A diploma in computer science did not help me with the right job prospects. All that changed once I signed up for an online BCA. There are several factors that influenced me to choose Online Manipal such as - an online platform that facilitates in-depth subject learning, team discussions, quizzes to gauge knowledge, online assignments, attendance at online exams using protected AI, balanced course fees, an online lab, and a balanced course structure.

A diploma in electronics didn't open interesting project opportunities at my workplace. The exposure to different projects demanded more insights into databases and computer applications, after which I decided to enroll for an online degree so that my work-life balance remains intact and yet I can devote my time to continue learning.

I always knew that getting a degree is extremely important since it gives one more respect in society and makes one more employable.

Soon after completing my 12th grade education, I got married and had two kids. I restarted my learning journey after a gap of 10 years. I decided to take a small step and began pondering over my wishes to become a graduate. My husband was the one who actually gave me the courage to act upon my wishes.
