Dear Manohari,
As I did my MBA from Lovely Professional University,Punjab.Overall, my experience at the LPU has been delightful thus far. I look forward to explore more and ensure that I avail all the benefits provided to us.
As a general rule for placements, a lot more will depend upon your own hard work, communication & presentation skills and overall preparation. This would be true for any university you enroll in.
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. LPU provides plenty of opportunities to its students to take part in events, competitions, fests in order to let them grow their personality and give them a chance to polish their skills.
There are plenty of career opportunities after MBA in different sectors of industries like Banking and Finance, Investment Banking, multinationals, foreign banks, public sector undertakings, in effect the whole corporate sector offer bright opportunities to management graduates. The careers in management offers one of the best remuneration packages and perks everywhere. Many students are placed in reputed companies in different cities and some are placed in abroad too.more than 150 companies including ITC, Asian Paints, HDFC, Federal Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Moodys Analytics, WNS Global etc and so on recruiting MBA students on an yearly basis with highest package in MBA at 21 Lakh Per Annum and on a average package will be 4LPA TO 6 LPA with nearly 90 % placement rates. LPU keeps improving and increasing it placements packages year on year. Even the number of recruiters visiting the campus increase every year.
University prepares its students for placements through special inputs in the form of placement classes. Students are given a lot of on-job training as well as work on projects where they can earn also. MBA placements of the university are very good with students getting high packages.
The package really depends on what you can show to the recruiters that, how much you are worth or deserved. There were some students who cracked the placement and got offered 22 LPA, while many failed to do so.
Thank you!

It's your choice to choose MBA or M.Sc (Zoology). As an academic / career expert, I can explore you about the scope and employment opportunities of both.
MBA is PG program in Management which deals various subjects of Management, Accountancy, Business Laws, Business Ethics, Organizational Behavior and Communication, Business Maths and Statistics, etc. You can specialize either in traditional branches / electives (Finance, HR, Marketing and Systems) or can choose Sectoral programs like Hospital Management, Healthcare Administration, Project Management , Logistics and Supply Chain Management, etc.
MBA is a gateway into corporate world. With an MBA, you can touch the top most position (If you have right attitude, ability, skills, leadership qualities, etc.). There is no limit for salary in corporate world. You can draw monthly salary in lakhs and there is not any specific retirement age.
Of course M.Sc in Zoology is also a good option. Teaching is the prime employment area after M.Sc-Zoology. You have to continue your studies and have to complete M.Phil / PhD to get job as Lecturer in Colleges. Also, you need to clear tests such as NET (for teaching positions at colleges) and SET (For teaching positions in Higher Secondary / HSc).
M.Sc + BEd + SET is the required qualification for HSc / Plus Two / Senior Secondary teachers.
Now a days UGC offers attractive Salary Package for college lecturers.
Now it's your decision, Think about both careers and take right decision.

PGDM is an Institute autonomous program which is approved by AICTE.
MBA is a program which is affiliated to a University.
Colleges which offer AICTE approved courses will also offer PGDM not MBA, for example, XYZ College is affiliated to ABC University they offer MBA course affiliated to that University, the same college is offering AICTE approved course it means they are offering PGDM which is not linked to ABC University.
Typically, if any PGDM is to be equivalent to MBA then the course duration should be 2 years, a 1 year PGDM will not be equal to MBA course.
Even IIMs, XLRIs doesnt offer MBA degrees they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM since they are autonomous and independent bodies.
Always see a college's reputation and placement instead of MBA and PGDM Program.
