Sunita Singh · Answer

LPUs business school is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and programme (ACBSP). Recently Ministry of Human Resource Government of India Ranked Lovely Professional University No. 2 in India in Management. This course will give you an exposure in management field. After completing BBA you can go for MBA. MBA will provide highly challenging job for you. Different specializations are there in MBA. If you are looking for a career in marketing, then MBA in Marketing is a good option, Because now a days mostly companies recruited students for marketing jobs Every year Around 550+ companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. Companies likes Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, SAP Labs, Asian Paints, Bajaj Allianz, Federal Bank, Moodys Analytics, Blue Star, Zomato, Berger Paints, Marico, Havells, Apollo Munich Health Insurance, CavinCare, Hetitch, Nerolac Paints, Oyo Rooms, S& P Global Market Intelligence, HDFC Bank, Swiggy, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Luminous Power etc. Also, in my view, I think you should not worry about the placements. If you work hard in the course and learn as much as you can, any company visiting the campus would be happy to hire you. However, you must not neglect polishing your communication skills as well, because companies will check that in their interviews.

In an effort to promote hands on learning, LPU students have access to a huge 9 storey mall where they can start their stores either as students or as alumni. LPU students consult local as well as international businesses as a part of the curriculum. This pushes the students to study real life scenarios and move beyond books. LPU students are given immersive exposure to the industry through frequent industrial visits and interactions with experts. The School hosts conferences that are attended by hundreds of researchers. In the most recent conference, over 80 papers were submitted. LPU is also ranked 78th in the list of all the government and private universities of the country.
