Pros Cons of Online Degree
Many students have to jumble when deciding
whether to Pursue an Online Degree
or go through with the traditional On-campus
Degree, which will be better for
Individual career aspects. Besides Online
education being introduced in recent
years, it is here to stay and will surely grow in
the coming years. Let us go through
with the pros and cons of pursuing an online
degree, you'll surely get some
clari?cation in making your Decision. Bir
Tikendrajit University has introduced PULP
courses (
PROFESSIONAL UNIFIED LEARNING PROGRAMS
) which are specially
designed for people who are working
professionals, and also want to upgrade their
education.
Cons of an Online Degree
1) Face-to-Face Interaction is missing Lack of
Face-to-Face Interaction impacts the mental
health of the student, also online Education saw
a big downfall in collaboration between
professors and students. Though the students, as
well as teachers, have accepted this form of
education, where there is total virtual
interaction, many professors suggest that
2
there needs to be more personal touch with the
students. This then eventually leads to
introverted personalities of students.
  • Lack of Individual Attention
  • Individual Attention leads to an increase in
    focus among students, and many researches prove
    that the attention span of students has
    drastically reduced over the years. Giving
    Individual attention to students also helps
    Teachers to organize and manage their teaching
    techniques as well as helps students too in their
    Subject clarity. It is a win-win situation for
    both teachers and students. This Independent
    attention is way less in online education when it
    is compared to Traditional education.
  • Reputation
  • Though this depends from person to person, the
    reputation of an online degree is hard to match
    to a traditional degree, in the market. When
    people were asked about the challenges faced
    with online education, people mentioned speci?c
    skills like critical thinking, decision-making,
    and problem-solving are harder to improve in
    online education. Though the mentality of people
    is progressing towards the

3
positive side of online education, selecting a
reputed University when opting for an online
degree is essential. 4) Frequent technical
issues A more signi?cant problem is with
continuous technical issues faced by both
teachers and students on these online learning
platforms. These problems mostly require
technical support to sort out, causing repeated
interference in the learning ?ow of pupils. Many
students are not issued with the high bandwidth
or strong internet connection that online
courses need, and thus fail to catch up with
their virtual classmates, the only solution for
this is upgrading to the latest technology as
well as a Good internet connection.
5) Requires Self-Discipline To make the most of
an online learning environment, students must
work on their self-discipline. Staying organized
is essential for success in online courses.
Because students dont have face-to-face
interaction with teachers or peers, its the
responsibility of the individual student to stay
organized and up to date with their
4
course load. Majorly the mentality of
self-discipline develops in later years, so many
students struggle to build Self- Discipline in
their early days.
Pros of an Online Degree
1)Time Management As there are no set timetables
in online mode, students need to carefully plan
their daily schedule on their own, as well as
manage the assignment and project submissions
independently. This increases the Time management
Skills of the students, these skills are very
much essential when Big recruiters recruit
candidates.

2) Improves Virtual Communication Surely opting
for Online education increase the Virtual
communication of a Student with others. In
online mode, you will Interact with your
Classmates virtually, Email your professors, and
also work with some software programs throughout
your Degree. Trying to Project your idea With
others on a virtual platform is a Unique skill,
and the Online mode of education assures that you
get a good grip on this skill.
3) A?ordability Online education is a?ordable in
many aspects, you cut o? expenses such as
transportation costs, Course materials,
Infrastructure, etc. Though the fees of these
Online degrees vary from university to the
university, it depends on the student's budget.
When compared to traditional Physical courses,
online Degrees cost less.

  • Flexibility
  • As online education doesn't need the physical
    presence of the students in the classroom, the
    student has the advantage of attending the
    classes at the desired time, and place as well
    as with whomsoever or they want to study. We also
    have the advantage of studying at our own pace
    which helps in a more precise understanding of
    the curriculum.
  • Location
  • Anybody can pursue Quality education from any
    part of the world, the person doesn't need to
    relocate or shift to a new place just for
    education purposes. It also allows universities
    to reach out to a more signi?cant and huge
    network of students, on the contrary being
    con?ned by geographical barriers.

Disadvantages you should now be very clear,
