The COVID pandemic has impacted the Higher education sector in India. Students suddenly have to adapt to Online education. Due to the sudden shift in online education students were left to face many challenges. The paradigm of MBA education also got altered due to the pandemic. Now post-pandemic offices have started working in offline mode. Now the students who have done their post-graduation in management online mode have to adjust to working in the workforce. The paper tries to understand the various challenges the students face in the workforce due to unfair situations. The statistical analytical tools include Percentage analysis, Crosstabs analysis, Spearman Correlation, and multivariate linear regression. It is apparent that the online method of MBA education has had a negative impact on many aspects of students' learning. According to the findings, the majority of students believe that on-campus instruction would have aided them in developing soft skills, business abilities, and confidence. Students' job performance is also affected by their lack of opportunity to create a social network. They are still dealing with the mental and physical effects of pandemics and the abrupt move to online education. Additionally, students are having problems dealing with office politics. It's worth noting that, regardless of the gender of the pupils, the general perception remained consistent, however, the perception of women differed significantly. The perceptions differ according to the domain of previous job experience students.
