Is it necessary to be sponsored by the company to get enrolled in CBA (Certificate program in business analytics) offered by ISB Hyderabad?
No, it’s not necessarily sponsored by your company in order to get enrolled in the Certificate Program in Business Analytics offered by IBS Hyderabad. In case you are not sponsored, all you have to do is finance the program on your own. So the issue lies in financing and not getting a sponsorship.
However, you might need your company's approval for pursuing the course as the course requires 6 visits (once in 2 months). These visits last for 5 days so you have to take frequent leaves from your company. If you are confident that taking such leaves won’t be an issue you can get away with an approval. However if taking such leaves becomes an issue, you should inform your company regarding the program beforehand so that they can easily grant you the necessary permission.
THE CBA program in ISB Hyderabad just requires the salary slip of the last two months as proof of your employment. They do ask for the No-Objection letter from the company but if anyone fails to produce it, it’s not a big issue.

Which MBA is better, an online MBA from the University of Bradford for £17000 or a part time MBA (PGP Pro) from ISB, Hyderabad at double the price?
Whenever you are in a dilemma of choosing an MBA program you need to consider 2 very important things.
- MBA does not just mean learning the curriculum, it has a higher picture that includes; the tag attached, the alumni network you get access to, etc
- Another major thing to consider is the cost-benefit analysis. Will the high fees you spend bring back favorable results?

Your question is regarding an online MBA from the University of Bradford. One thing you need to know is that no matter how good the university is, an online MBA is not as impactful as an offline MBA. The lack of contact hours, peer learning, and the network does not do justice to the MBA program.
ISB Hyderabad on the other hand is a recognized brand and its global rankings are a testament to its worth and brand. ISB is ranked 44th best program in the list of top 100 global MBAs (FT Rankings). Not many MBA programs can match that level let alone online programs.
