Both Educational Institution are sound and is known for quality education. The question that you have posted is a very valid question and I remember it well that 5 years back my sister had the same doubt. However what I personally realized it is prudent to go for an MBA from LPU, confirming the campus placements and opportunity one will get from that institution. Lovely Professional University (LPU) is a premier educational institution that is known for its innovative curriculum practices. The mission of the institute is to prepare the students into lifelong learners with strong analytical ideas. LPU is conferred with National Employability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds. Hence I decided to make her do MBA Hons from LPU itself. Today she is placed with Nestle India at a package of 12.5 LPA. They offer a promising career with an effective learning experience at both national and international cadre. 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. LPU is ranked 10th Best Training and Placements Institutions in India for 2019 by The Knowledge Review. Business Today ranked LPU among Top 100 Private State Universities in 2019 in Placement Performance Category. LPU is proud recipient of Golden Star Award 2018 for being University with Best Placements in India. There MBA honors get you 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. All this exposure and experiential learning truly transformed her career. Indeed I must say LPU is the best for MBA.
