75% of the candidates opting for higher education are mostly from the professional background who wish to pursue higher education to get promoted or even update their skillset. They won't go back to the campus learning session to earn their skills. Online education is the only mode they can look up to. This report was published by The Online College Students 2015.


Moreover online educators are providing degrees within 6 months of their course schedule which is now been an added advantage for the online learners compared to the traditional campus degrees which at least take 3 years to earn it. According to the present news, Google is now backing a scheme to get people a "nano degree" in just six months.
