Dear Gaurav, I can't tell about the placements of Chandigarh University, As I am alumni of Lovely Professional University, I can discuss about LPU placements, studies etc. Lovely Professional University (LPU) has become India's first private university to get ICAR accreditation This shows the strength and credibility of the department and school as a whole. Few points told by my known who did her studies from LPU that will help you to make your decision:
School of Agricultural sciences is one of the fastest growing school of Agriculture in the entire region and India. It is being rated as among Punjab and India's Best Agriculture colleges. Students are exposed to Commercial farms to get know-how that create an opportunity for students to engage and tone up their endurance, confidence and management skills. The university has well-equipped laboratories, library, lecture rooms and excellent farm facility to conduct agricultural experiments. Students learn about the latest advancements in the field of agriculture, disease resistance, fertilizers and, insecticides with extensive fieldwork and field trips preparing them for the evergreen field of agriculture. The best thing is the University does not compromise with the academics as all the lectures are held and if a faculty wants a leave either the makeup lectures are planned or adjustments are provided for that particular slot. LPU focuses on quality education a lot and all the professors of LPU are highly qualified and friendly, LPU also focuses on practical knowledge a lot and agriculture students of LPU has to go through various such practical tasks and projects which makes it very easy to understand the concepts and develop a deep knowledge of the subjects. Through the Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) programme the students develop a real-time understanding of conventional agriculture methods and effective dissemination of knowledge to the farmers. In order to provide a basic understanding of emerging problems and technologies involved in agriculture, field visits are conducted to neighboring farms, orchards, and nurseries. University provides additional placement oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc.etera as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, SYNGENTA INDIA LTD, WIPRO LIMITED, and many other firm.

The company secretary is responsible for the efficient administration of a company, particularly with regard to Corporate Governance ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and for ensuring that decisions of the board of directors are implemented. The company secretary ensures that an organisation complies with relevant legislation and regulation, and keeps board members informed of their legal responsibilities and also ensures that board of directors looks after shareholders interest. He is legal signatory to all company documents. Any engineering graduate can earn Company Secretary professional qualification but it will not be aligned to its basic educational qualification. CS may not ever have the opportunity to use engineering knowledge and skills in executing its role and responsibility as a CS. In case you not technically oriented and want to change your career stream you may do CS but it will involve another min 3+ years of further education.

You can prepare for alll the government exams as somewhat their syllabus is similar but the exam pattern is differ. While a government job helps to build a stable career, it is also loaded with responsibilities. I would like to suggest best online coaching course for the SBI PO Nainital, IBPS PO RBI officer grade B exams, etc. - as LK ACADEMY. It is the best education provider for your complete course coverage. Exams are conducted in different modes, different phases, it also depends on cut offs, vacancy available and notification to be published. This requires deep and complete knowledge of the syllabus. How to prepare subjects in a lucid and comprehensive manner, where to focus, what to study, and time management to clear your exam to achieve your dream job. If you want to prepare then you can download the LK ACADEMY app from play store because in self-studies guidance is very important. You can practice daily Current Affairs MCQ, give the weekly and monthly test, practice English comprehension, study the pdf, watch videos, doubt sessions, and many more - all at your convenient time at your own place.

Distance MBA degree certainly adds value to your resume (for a person who completed their graduation). However, there are not many firms which hire candidates with Distance MBA for managerial roles. You ask me for a justification for that? I'd simply say, there are people who had done full-time MBA and are still waiting for jobs.
Having said that, if you have a distance MBA after having Masters in your technical field that might get you into a pretty decent job. No one can assure it though.
You can use the knowledge you gained through that distance course to become a better professional and climb up the organizational ladder once you get into the firm but when it comes to the opportunities, my word still stands. It is hard to get into managerial roles with a distance MBA with graduation. This is the current status in India when it comes to opportunities for candidates successfully completing their distance MBA.
Pursuing MBA through correspondence will give you knowledge if you really put in the required effort but when it comes to a job abroad, it is very difficult. Let's hit the reality and have a look at supply-demand graph. We are having more supply (people completing full-time MBA) compared to demand even overseas. So, if you have a chance, prefer doing full time MBA which will fetch you a good job in India or abroad depending upon the institute you pursue your MBA.
Hope you got a fair idea of what really is happening in India and around the world. I sincerely wish you will take the right decision.
All the very best.

Of course yes, Even any stream student can go for MBA course. Now a days Preferring the MBA has been a high-status decision which used to fetch a type of satisfaction to the students as they would feel that MBA is somewhat a higher and reputed degree which will open the door for lucrative jobs in the corporate world. Though the charm of MBA has not decreased, the management institutions are rampant especially in Cities. The point is that pursuing MBA has become easy than it was a decade ago. If you are looking for best University for to pursue higher education, you should not be area or location specific, I would advise you to choose best University on the basis of University ranking, placements, infrastructure, faculty members etc. A few good universities for MBA are:
University of Mumbai, Mumbai
Geeta University, Panipat
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Open University Hyderabad
Karnataka State Open University Mysore
Chandigarh University
SRM.
