Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Dear Anita, There are a lot of private universities in India. There are two aspects of your question, 1. Legal validation : Yes for all private universities which have been established u/s 2F of UGC act, the degree holds the perfect legal value 2. Qualitative education : Here the things become tricky, you need to SEE if the university has the following I right mix: Well, let me write down all the factors which finally boil down to placements: # Course curriculum, It needs to be dynamic and industry consulted then only the professionals will be developed which industry really needs. # programme delivery: Classroom teaching doesn't work anymore, it has o be experiential learning technique. # Industry interface: To have more and more interactions with industry experts, learning the things hands on and networking! # Professional enhancement: Students come from various backgrounds and culture, they may be very good in inculcating the technical skills, but they also need to clear the interviews also for taking the jobs. The soft skills, communication, interpersonal and networking skills need to be inculcated in them not only for interviews but for whole of their careers. # Faculty, the faculty which develops the curriculum and delivers the programme with right teaching pedagogy must be top notch. # Internships, entrepreneurship, community development projects etc. : They need to be integral part of curriculum so that students get hands on knowledge about real time situations in various aspects of life and business. And finally placements, since placements are considered to be the end to means, you must check if the placement track record is good or not. Some good private B-Schools are: SIBM Pune, ISB Hyderabad & Chandigarh, Great lakes Chennai, IBS Hyderabad and LPU Punjab. Hope this helps DVD.

Now-a-days, selection of the right institute to pursue the qualification is the biggest challenge. There are many institutes like IIM, IBS, XLRI and LPU. Not much aware of the institutes mentioned except LPU as last year, when my cousin was to plan her admission, we inquired from many institutes and then finally preferred LPU because of the following: # Internationally Accreditation #Contemporary Curriculum # Industrial Tieups # Workshops #Specializations #Entrepreneurship #Community Development Projects #Professional Enhancement and Software Skills #Case Based Teaching #Holistic Development Let me tell you the points in detail. 1. LPU is ranked 78th amongst all Government and private universities and 50 amongst top management institutions which itself is a matter of pride. (https://www.nirfindia.org/2020/ManagementRanking.html) In addition to this MBA is ACBSP Accredited which relates that the curriculum is that of international standards. 2. MBA is a flagship programme of LPU, with many specializations and one coveted MBA Hons programme, it is one of the most sought after MBA. 3. In order to provide the exposure, series of guest lectures are provided to the students where they learn from the speakers and they share their problems as well. 4. Career Prospects: There are three career prospects a. Primary Prospects: Students can attain managerial positions in HR, marketing, banking, strategy, insurance, retail, finance, operations in national and global firms. B. Secondary Prospects: Entrepreneurial ventures in form of click or brick models can be initiated. C. Tertiary Prospects: Career in teaching and research in reputed educational institutions can be explored. 5. The student who acquired MBA degree from LPU gets the option to appear in the interview for the big brands such as Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, SAP Labs, Asian Paints, Bajaj Allianz, CEAT, Khimji Ramdas, Ernst and Young, Flipkart, Federal, Moody Analytics, ITC, Practo, Redington and many more with the higher package.

Of course yes, private universities are really good. It is logistically not possible for all the students in India to study in Iims, thus arises the need for private institutions that can offer MBA education. Considering the fact that MBA education costly so there is some kind onus on the university part to provide the best possible jobs to its capable graduates. JK Lakshmipat University is one of the top university which offers the pinnacle MBA course. It happens to be India's one of most experiential management course. If we talk about placement stats then more than 50% passing out MBA students got multiple job offers. Companies such as Mahindra, amazon, Nirma, JK tyre/paper/cement etc. Come for campus placements. Career service centre makes sure that the students are given proper counselling so that they make a sound decision when it comes to choosing the company that they want to work in. More than 30% passing out MBA students got annual package more than total programme fees. This shows that the ROI (return on investment) is higher than the investment that you make (as in paying the college fee). The average per annum package is more than 5 Lacs. Im putting up the link of placements and course outline of the pinnacle MBA programme so that you can make informed decision-https://www.jklu.edu.in/course/pinnacle-mba/.

MBA degrees from private universities can indeed be very valuable, especially when the university provides strong academic programs and solid industry connections.
