Hello! I completely understand, if you have a zeal for higher academics and finances are a hurdle, I have been through same situation and what helped me my way was Scholarship. If you have good scores in CAT MAT or XAT you can get upto 50% of scholarship on your tuition fees. One of the most renowned university that offers huge scholarship is Lovely Professional University. But due to COVID-19, all the examinations are with held. So, now it is a halt time for most of the graduates. But few of the universities have come up with best way out and opened up their doors for prospective students. One such university is Lovely Professional University. You will be glad to know that LPU has relaxed it's eligibility criteria due to COVID-19. Being an Alumni, I can say Choosing LPU for my MBA was one of my best decision. It is not mandatory to qualify CAT for MBA Admission at LPU, you can appear for LPUNEST-Interview ( Interview will be conducted remotely online ) and get your seat confirmed at LPU. Eligibility for admission is 55% aggregate percentage in any graduation and LPU NEST Interviews must be qualified. Still for your personal growth and learning you can apply for CAT. Silent Features which makes LPU different from others are : 1. Ranked number 2 among Indian B-Schools in Outreach and Inclusivity by NIRF 2. Among the first 10 institutions to get ACBSP (USA) Accreditation 3. Alumni are working top brands like Google, Apple, and Facebook some of the most sought after jobs today 4. 55+ campus recruitment drives with reputed brands like ITC Limited, MRF, Kellogs, etc. 5. International companies like Hyatt (USA), Adani Wilmar (Africa), Al Rakha (Dubai) recruit from LPU 6. Students learn through simulations, case studies and industrial visits. There is a mall on campus wherein you can set up your store to explore entrepreneurial skills (Your own startup). 7. You also get the opportunity to consult local as well as international businesses as part of the curriculum. 8. Partnered with National Stock Exchange (NSE), MOOC'S and various other companies to help in design the curriculum. 9. LPU supports innovation and research and hence provides students with such opportunities. There are 15+entrepreneurial ventures on campus. LPU also hosts conferences where students can present their papers. 10. The covid regulations are strictly followed and the student teacher ratio is enough to practice social distancing. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Hi, You may opt for a B-School that has high ROI (return on investment i.e.you get more returns than what you had initially paid) and low fee structure. In case, you want to do it from a B-School where the fee structure is high, you can opt for a student loan and once you get a job, you can repay it. Please ensure that whichever college you choose the ROI should be good. All the best.

HI Santosh, I must salute your will to study despite financial crunch. I would like to suggest that LPU gives several scholarships and even helps in getting education loan. You may think over it and contact university officials. I would suggest that you appear for LPU NEST. The LPU NEST score can get you a waiver on programme fee. You will get a second chance to improve your score as well. Here are the details of the scholarships that you can apply for. You can apply only under one head. In a bid to owe the social responsibility towards the needy, and give a token to the meritorious, LPU offers a range of scholarships and financial aid. You do not have to apply for a scholarship every time you pay the fee. What you get at the time of admission, continues till the course is over. However, the criteria is different for those who have sought admission through sports quota, board toppers and performing arts. If you are a board topper and someone from sports category and extra curricular performance category, you will have to either maintain a CGPA or keep performing in sports or extracurricular activities as the case may be. Otherwise if you have got scholarship through LPU NEST then you are not bound to maintain your academic or sports performance. There are other scholarships the university offers. Marks based (for previous two qualifying Exams) Performance in other National Level Entrance test Performance in Sports, Performance in Cultural, R&D, Co-curricular, Social Services, Bravery Special Scholarship for Toppers of Education Board Financial Aid for Defense /CAPF and their dependents Financial Aid for Orphan Candidates Financial Aid for Persons with certain disabilities LPUNEST Study Grant Minorities Transgender Non Traditional student Need Based-Financial Aid EWS scholarship for those whose family income is less than 5 lacs Single girl child Single Mother Orphan. LPU offers a special scholarship of Full Tuition fee waiver to Indian resident orphan students whose both parents are dead. The university gives scholarships on the basis of a first come first serve basis to 10 applicants. The candidate having benchmark disability of more than 70% and/or Locomotor disability caused by spinal cord injury can avail the benefit of full programme fee waiver. However, the LPU committee scrutinises the case. LPU offers exclusive Scholarship schemes for Tibetan Students studying in CTA (Central Tibetan Administration) Schools and Students.

Dear affordability is one thing and qualifying the eligibility is another. If you have scored a good percentile in the competitive exams and have given makeable performance in GDPI then definitely you can secure admission in a good B school for MBA and some institute may facilitate scholarship option. If you secure admission in top B-schools, you may easily avail education loan and repay once you graduate and secure a good placement. But don't invest in an average business school with below average placement. MBA provides a headstart for candidates to develop management skills. The course takes a student over the core areas of management including marketing, sales, strategy management etc. And it also covers key areas of finance and economics. Plus, soft skill development such as business communication is also taught in the MBA course. Other than the Iims and big colleges like XLRI or Symbiosis, here are few colleges that have worked commendably, like : SVKMs NMIMS Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce, Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS), Department of Management Studies Christ University (Deemed to be University ), Lovely Professional University, Loyola College (Autonomous) Indeed while I was assessing the curriculum and the industry exposure of the colleges who provide a management course I found Lovely Professional University moving ahead with multiple industry collaborative courses in the similar lines. These are not only effective in placements but also enlarges your understanding of concepts.
