This is a discussion on AfterGraduation new article "Company Sponsored MBA – Pros And Cons For You".

Management Education is having great demand in today’s world for more speedily career growth for working professionals. The MBA is geared for professionals who want to upgrade his skills with latest management techniques. The tuition fee for pursuing a management course from a good institute can run into Lakh of rupees. The big question is how to fund your course i.e. Self or Company Sponsored MBA?

A loan for education with a generous assistance from parents, other relatives or bank is often the answer. However, if you are working in a great company, have proved yourself and a few years’ work experience then there is another option that may work – persuade your company to sponsor your MBA course.

MBA sponsorship sounds like the perfect solution to financing issues. But only a few of the global companies, for obvious reasons will even consider sponsoring an employee to attend a full-time program. Many smaller organizations have either well-entrenched or case-by-case policies on providing financial assistance to a talented employee for a part-time or online program or an executive MBA or career enhancement programs provided the applicant makes a strong case.
