Who uses a .mba name in India?
In India the buyers sit around the MBA and PGDM pipeline: B-schools, CAT and GMAT coaching, alumni groups, and graduates building a personal brand. The three letters are understood across the country, so the ending explains the site before the visitor reads a word.
| Buyer | Example name | What the site does |
|---|---|---|
| PGDM or MBA college | admissions-yourcollege.mba | Admission notices, fee structure, placement report |
| CAT, XAT or GMAT coaching | catprep.mba | Mock tests, batch schedules, results |
| Alumni association | batch2015.mba | Reunions, mentoring, job referrals |
| MBA graduate or consultant | yourname.mba | CV, case work and writing in one place |
| Case competition or B-school fest | casechallenge.mba | Rules, registration, past winners |

Do you need AICTE approval or an MBA degree to register .mba?
No. The .mba registry asks for no AICTE or UGC approval, no degree certificate and no proof that you teach management. Anyone can register, so a .mba address is not evidence of recognition; colleges should publish their approval details on the site itself.
- Holder: an individual, trust, society or company; colleges usually register in the trust's or society's legal name.
- Accuracy: registrant contacts must be correct and the email must receive registry notices.
- Trademarks: avoid copying another school's name or an exam brand in the label; that invites a UDRP complaint.
- GST: add a GSTIN only if you want input credit on the invoice.
.mba or .institute, .education and .in — which should a B-school pick?
Use .mba when the site is only about management education or an MBA career; use .institute or .in for a college that runs several programmes. The extension adds no ranking weight; admission pages, results and links do that.
- Multi-programme college: keep the main site on .in or .institute and point a .mba name at the management school page.
- Coaching brand: .mba names the goal students are working towards.
- Graduate personal site: yourname.mba is short, but at ₹4,846 a year to renew, a .in costs about a fifth as much.
Running admissions and alumni sites on .mba
Admission and result days bring traffic spikes, so pair the .mba name with hosting sized for peaks and official mailboxes for the admissions team. Our page on hosting for education and edtech covers sizing, a course portal fits Moodle hosting, and admissions@yourschool.mba runs on business email. Names already registered elsewhere move in through domain transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .mba registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. IANA records the original delegation to Lone Hollow, LLC in May 2015 and the 2018 transfer to Binky Moon, which also runs .education, .institute and .university.
Is .mba newer than most education extensions?
Yes. It entered the root on 22 May 2015, about a year and a half after .institute (December 2013). Many short names are therefore still available, though common words may be registry premiums.
Can a CAT coaching centre without AICTE approval use a .mba domain?
Yes. The registry has no approval rule, and coaching centres do not need AICTE approval to register. The centre should still avoid implying that it awards an MBA degree if it does not.
What should a college budget for .mba over five years?
About ₹23,946 before 18% GST as a planning figure: ₹4,562 for the first year and four yearly renewals at today's ₹4,846 (₹19,384). Renewal prices can change; checkout confirms the actual charge.
Does .mba support DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a secure delegation for .mba, so DNSSEC can be enabled for your own name once your DNS host signs the zone.
