Not for new students. Its distance directorate now posts only exam notices for older batches, and UoM is not on UGC-DEB’s 2026-27 distance (ODL) lists. It admits only to online programmes.
Is there an entrance test for the online MBA?
No. Any bachelor’s or master’s degree in arts, science, commerce, management, engineering, medicine or an allied subject is enough.
How are exams held?
Online. UoM says exams are remotely proctored and taken from your own computer, so you don’t need to travel to Mysuru or an exam centre.
