How beneficial is MBA (Hons. ). Programme over Regular MBA in LPU?

Dear Devanshu, My cousin did an MBA(Hons.) degree programme at LPU and told me the benefits that a Hons. student gets. 1. Every semester you will study one more subject which will add your knowledge about the programme. 2. You will have access to Library books for more days than normal students. 3. During Hostel allotment, you will get preference to book your favorite hostel on the campus as in LPU more than 8 boys hostels are available. Many other facilities are there for Hons students. These facilities will be not there but the rest of the facilities will be the same for the general MBA degree programme. I highly recommend LPU for an MBA(Hons.) degree based on the following things- The Business School of LPU is accredited by ACBSP, Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry-experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA. LPU is ranked No. 2 among Indian B-Schools in 'Outreach and Inclusivity by NIRF ranking released by MHRD, Government of India. Placement: Every year more than 550+ companies visit LPU for placements. LPU has a very good placement and achieved awards for employability also. The main thing for placement that I liked there is that LPU provides placement classes to the students from the first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their final year of the program. The highest package of the MBA programme offered at LPU is 21 LPA and the average package is 5.5 LPA. Specialization offered in MBA: Agribusiness Management, Human Resource, Marketing, International Business, Financial Markets, Digital Market, Hospital and Healthcare, Business Analytics, Banking and Financial Services, Operations, etc. Scholarships: LPU provides very good scholarships to bright students with good academic records, sports, or extracurricular activities achievement. LPU also helps students in the Education loan facility. Faculty: All faculty members are well qualified from IITs, NITs, IIMs, and top-ranked universities all over the world. Infrastructure: All the facilities are available on the campus itself, a student does not need to go outside for anything. On the campus, Central Library, Hospital facility is available 24*7 for staff and students, Shopping mall, Indoor Sports Stadium with 3 Olympic size Swimming Pools, Public/Private Sector Banks, ATM, etc. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. I hope this helps Good Luck!

LPU is the best for MBA. LPU offers a high-quality degree, as well as extensive scholarship programmes and holistic learning opportunities. Mittal School of Business is among the first ten institutions in India to get ACBSP (USA) accreditation. Ministry of Human Resource Government of India Ranked Lovely Professional University among top 50 in India. The programme is designed with current market trends in mind. The placements are guaranteed, and students are given special placement-oriented classes that help them pass the exam and interview. Companies like Hyatt, Ritz Carlton, Adani Wilmar, Altruist, Al-Rakha, Dharam Consultancy selected LPU students for International locations. The highest package availed is 16.6 LPA by Khimji Ramdas. A student placed with Federal Bank at a package of 10.2 LPA! ; SCALER at the package of 9.5 LPA. More than 650 companies visit LPU every year for recruitment with an average of 5-12 LPA packages. LPU is conferred with National Employability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds for the 7th time in a row for having Most Employable Students and being one among the top colleges and universities in India with one of the highest Employability rates.

Business Today ranked LPU among Top 100 Private State Universities in 2019 in Placement Performance Category.

One side with MBA you are preparing for your vibrant career enhancement. On the other side with the MBA honors you get multiple opportunities of international exposure. In LPU MBA Hons course I found few star benefits, like: 1. To encourage and support students in entrepreneurship and research activities, various types of SEED money funding are granted. A. Investment SEED Grant b. Startup/ Entrepreneurial Venture SEED Fund c. Innovation/ Research SEED Grant 2. Under the guidance of Industry mentors, who are top executives from global companies, students are exposed to the way business are practiced today through Live Industry Projects. In addition to this, field industry visits and 6 to 8 weeks of internship/ industry attachment are also organized. 3. One Week International Exposure Opportunity to visit Singapore/ Dubai. As well as Option to go to partner universities in different countries on exchange programmes.

If you've decided to pursue an MBA, you'll need to choose between a general and a specialised programme. Both offer distinct advantages, depending on what you hope to accomplish professionally. Specialised MBA students receive an in-depth business education in one field (e. g. finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, etc. ). If you're interested in a specific industry or profession, a specialised MBA can give you more targeted management experience and also allow students to study while they're still working, giving you more flexibility. Falling onto the same lines lets SEE how MBA Hons LPU fits into this. The entrepreneurship orientation and hands-on academic rigor offers learning opportunities inside and outside classroom to put theory to practice. The key highlights of this course are : 1. Specialisation of 4 - 6 courses with Professional Industry certifications. Illustrative specialisation Areas: Financial Consulting & FinTech with KPMG, AI, ML & Analytics with 3AI, Digital Marketing with Digital Marketing Institute, Ireland 2. SEED Money: UptoRs. 20000/- per student as an Investment SEED Grant for trading in stocks. Rs. 2 Lacs to Rs. 5 Lacs per project for Startup/ Entrepreneurial Venture. UptoRs. 10000/- SEED Grant for Innovation/ Research activities. 3. Around 10 - 12 courses to be taught in online/ blended mode by senior Industry experts/ Foreign faculty. 4. 5 - 7 days International Visit to Singapore/ Dubai or any other similar country. International Exchange option to go to partner universities in different countries as available/ offered from time to time. This extensive industry immersed model of coaching brings the candidates with marvelous opportunities enabling them to get placed with brands across. I believe this data helps you in showcasing benefits of MBA Hons over Regular MBA.

One should know the major variations first while choosing one among them. If Compared to the MBA (gen. ), the students of MBA (hons. ). Are exposed to large number of interactions with Industry Experts. 1)There are Professional Certifications for eg. Specialisation of 4 - 6 courses with Professional Industry certifications. Illustrative specialisation Areas:Financial Consulting & FinTech with KPMG, AI, ML & Analytics with 3AI Digital Marketing with Digital Marketing Institute, Ireland. 2) Grant of SEED Money UptoRs. 20000/- per student as an Investment SEED Grant for trading in stocks. Rs. 2 Lacs to Rs. 5 Lacs per project for Startup/ Entrepreneurial Venture. UptoRs. 10000/- SEED Grant for Innovation/ Research activities. Courses by foreign faculty Around 10 - 12 courses to be taught in online/ blended mode by senior Industry experts/ Foreign faculty. 3) International visit 5 - 7 days International Visit to Singapore/ Dubai or any other similar country. International Exchange option to go to partner universities in different countries as available/ offered from time to time As far as I know LPU has made a tremendous progress in the following parameters which are accepted world over! Live Projects Entrepreneurship Projects Industry delivered certifications (Voluntary) Experiential Learning Activities & Business Games As far as I know and come across after listening to my brother views about LPU, who is existing student of LPU, this university is having tie-ups with many foreign universities and reputed companies thus facilitating higher education abroad and good placements respectively for their students. The university has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process. The university also gives students the opportunity to get real-life exposure through various training programs and an internship, which is mandatory for all. Professors go for value-based education which is something we as professionals would require in our career. Guest lectures by experts and some really successful people are arranged by our department to widen our scope of learning. As far as LPU placements are concerned, you need not worry about it. Many of my known seniors are placed in huge and reputed companies in different cities and some are placed abroad, too. The starting package for MBA graduates is one of the best at LPU as compared to any other private university.

The major difference is that as compared to the MBA (gen. ), the students of MBA (hons. ). Are exposed to large number of interactions with Industry Experts. The other important difference is that MBA (hons. ). Has four additional courses one in each term aimed at enhancing entrepreneurial orientation and skills of the students. To my experience, one could pursue the MBA Hons course from LPU as An Applicant will be short listed for interview on the basis of his/ her score in the entrance examination LPU NEST. The final selection for admission in MBA (Hons. ). Will be based on the Written Essays (20% weightage), Interview (60% weightage) and Work Experience (20% weightage) subject to scoring minimum marks in the Interview. Mittal School of Business is among the first 10 institutions in India to get ACBSP (USA) accreditation. There are Regular Programmes available in Management, Hons.
