As the global landscape of education undergoes a dramatic transformation, online higher education and up-skilling have emerged as powerful forces, surpassing traditional educational paradigms. This shift is driven by the demand for flexible, accessible, and relevant learning experiences in an ever-evolving job market. Jaro Education, a leader in online higher education and up-skilling, with its innovative approach to e-learning is at the forefront of this educational revolution.

In a landmark decision poised to reshape the educational landscape, UGC has announced that online degrees will now be considered equivalent to traditional offline degrees under NEP. This significant development paves the way for online learners to pursue further higher studies, a move that has been met with widespread acclaim and enthusiasm.

With the rapid adoption of online learning and the implementation of innovative policies, Jaro is witnessing a transformational shift towards digital education. Jaro Education is committed to empowering students to succeed in this rapidly evolving landscape, providing them with the tools and resources they need to thrive in the digital age. 

Currently serving 32 institutions including 7 IIMs and 6 IITs, Jaro Education offers over 150 degree and certification programs, catering to diverse fields such as management, finance, and business analytics. In FY 24 alone, the company provided high-quality online education to approximately 29,000 learners for postgraduate degree and up-skilling courses.

Dr. Sanjay Salunkhe, CMD of Jaro Education, stated, “The offline education model is capital intensive, whereas online higher education has no issues with respect to infrastructure or number of students, geographies and batch sizes and number of batches as long as the University ensures quality delivery of education with an established partner like Jaro Education, which ensures smooth delivery of learning with a coordinator and counsellor for limited number of students for doubt clarifying session etc.

Considering the positives online education offers, all major and well established and good NIRF ranked universities have been focusing on online education equally along with maintaining their high standards of education as they can never compromise on their brand value and more than 4-5 decades of minimum presence. 

Learners with 2 years of experience and post graduate aspirant can access best quality education sitting at any corner of the country and at their convenience like during weekends etc.

We are witnessing up-skilling focus in our learners and they are ready to sacrifice their weekends for 14 to 15 months as agility is much rewarded in organizations.

The online higher education has democratized the education system by making it both affordable and employable for the learners. Majority of the learners who had completed courses through us had either advanced in their career by getting better job opportunities or promotions to better roles in their organization.

Some of the reputed universities had realized this early and they had a good vintage in online higher education and up-skilling and some of the other major universities had started in the last one year and had good pace because of their reputation in the market. When these universities applied for UGC for approvals the numbers were low and the same were exhausted in a year’s time and all of them have now got approval for 10 times of their achieved current students count as they are very confident that they can deliver these numbers with a partner like Jaro education, which has been consistently delivering more than 60% growth in the last 3 to 4 years.”
