How do online MBA exams work?
Short answer
Online mode usually means remotely proctored exams you sit at home. Distance mode usually means term-end exams at a physical centre.
This is the single most practical difference between the two modes, and it is often the deciding factor for people who travel or live away from a centre.
Proctored exams monitor you through your camera and screen. Requirements on connectivity and equipment are real and worth checking.
What to check
- Ask which mode your programme uses and where the nearest exam centre is if it is distance mode.
- Check the technical requirements for proctoring before you enrol.
