Flexible Learning: This learning route provides more flexibility in terms of course completion time which is ideal for working professionals with prior commitments. It also eliminates monthly financial obligations for learning and allows learners to progress at their pace.

Fast-track Learning: This route is preferred by individuals looking for shorter duration for course completion and are willing to dedicate substantial time to studies. It is ideal for quick career advancement and features fixed monthly payments that offer substantial saving on the module fees.

We have two different payment methods fast-track and flexible plans. Both  are meticulously designed to provide learners with seamless and convenient learning experience according to their budget plans. The fast-track plan comes with monthly payment options, propelling learners to fast-forward their learning journeys and offering substantial savings on module fees. It will serve as an ideal choice for those seeking to optimize both their time and budget. In contrast, the flexible plan is tailored to work around the hectic schedules of professionals, enabling them to progress and eliminate monthly financial obligations.

1. Course Extension for 3 months: USD 250
2. Course Extension for 6 months: USD 500
3. Course Extension for 9 months: USD 750
4. Course Extension for 12 months: USD 1000

Please note:

• You can extend in phases of 3 months each by paying USD 250 every time (i.e., every 3 months extension will be charged at USD 250).
• The minimum extension period is 3 months, meaning you must pay a minimum of USD 250 for a 3-month extension, even if you finish in less than 3 months.

After enrolling in a particular program or receiving the admission letter, we are unable to offer refunds as per our policy. However, prior to enrollment, all learners have the option to utilize the free trial period, which lasts between 3 to 7 days.

Yes, learners have the option to switch from one plan to the other during their learning journey. However, a course plan switch fee of USD 300 will be applicable.

The Referral Policy is a UniAthena initiative to make our programs more  affordable to the learners. Learners can  share programs with  friends, family or even peers. If the Invitee enrolls for the suggested program, the next module is made free of charge.

There are no written exams for this program. All modules except midterm projects follow a summative & formative assessment method, where you will have to complete unit-wise quizzes and assignments. You can access quizzes and assignments under the "Project Details" section in the learning portal. Each quiz allows two attempts, with the best score counted, and you must complete the quiz before you can access the assignment. Assignments allow only one submission, and once submitted, no changes can be made.

For the module midterm project you will be assessed through the submission of a report and a PowerPoint presentation.

After you submit the assignment and quiz, the faculty will evaluate and provide feedback including results (your grade) within 7 days of your submission. If you fail, you will receive detailed feedback explaining the reasons for the failure. You will need to revise your work based on the assessor’s comments and resubmit the assignment within 7 days of receiving your results. There are no additional fees for resubmission.

If you do not resubmit the assignment within 60 days, you may request a extension for resubmission by paying an extension fee. If you fail again on your resubmission, you may apply for a retake by paying a retake fee.

All exempted modules will be marked as “Pass” or 50% grade. No merit or distinction grades will be granted for the exempted modules.

Yes, the program is structured to accommodate the busy schedules of full-time professionals with a strong support system which is highly flexible. Learners may opt to extend the standard 36-month DBA and Fastrack 24-month DBA by a maximum of 2 years (24 months). It depends on the time the learners have to invest in the research.

The maximum learning duration, including 24-month extensions, cannot exceed 60 months for a standard DBA and 48 months for a Fastrack DBA. 

Studying for the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is driven by a desire to ignite real change in companies through data-driven decision-making. The programme will be of particular benefit to experienced C-level Executives, Senior Managers, Department Heads, Consultants, Management Educators and Entrepreneurs..

During the DBA program, learners will be challenged to sharpen their critical and analytical thinking skills at every turn. They will build rigorous research acumen and elevate themselves to earn an ‘Expert’ status in their domain, with a proven track record of innovative, groundbreaking thinking. 

Research topics should align with your chosen specialization if you opt for a DBA with a specialization.
If you choose to pursue a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) with a specialization, your research topic is expected to reflect and support that specific area of study. This alignment ensures that your research contributes meaningfully to your field of expertise and allows you to build deep knowledge in a focused domain.

However, if you choose a DBA without a specialization, you have the flexibility to select a research topic from any area within Business Management.

Once you move to the capstone project (thesis) stage, you will be assigned a Research Supervisor who will support you through the capstone project. The Guide normally has 3 meetings with the learners: first introductory meeting, then a second review and lastly, a final review.

Once you complete the final capstone project, then you may be called for a "viva" to defend your capstone project depending on the decision of the Research Committee. The result will be published within 30 days of submission of the capstone project; if you fail the capstone project, then you will have an opportunity to resubmit the work as per the feedback provided by the Research Committee and the corrected work should be submitted within 30 days of publishing the results.

If you fail on your resubmission, then you may have to pay the capstone project fee again and you will need to start over on a new project.

Once you have enrolled for the capstone project, you need to submit the final work within 3-6 months of enrollment. In case of failure of submission, an extension fee will be applicable.

Note:
The final viva will be scheduled once the learner successfully completes the full payment for the chosen course.
