One of my friend is doing B. Sc. (Design- Fashion) from Lovely Professional University though he was a commerce student. I have seen his growth in academic as well as , as a human being, LPU provides a platform for the student to enhance their skills in sports, co-curricular, cultural activities, practical exposure, etc.
He wrote an entrance exam for Eligibility and Scholarship and on the basis of this test he got scholarship for his degree(3 years). His fees was Rs. 24500 per semester. He told me about the a student organizations of which he was a member. His team conducted a fundraising event so that they can provide useful things to a school and an old age home. Their team also took orphans to a science city tour . they had organised many free health check-up camp in villages. All these activities have improved his managing skills, time management, presentation skills. I noticed that after joining LPU he improved a lot.
He also said that university provides a platform to the students to run their own venture, a student can avail seed money for initiating the project. He is staying in a hostel because services are too good like mess facility, internet services, tv room, biometric facility and wardens are so supportive. He is also a badminton player and got a chance to play in AIU and won many prizes. He told me he was enrolled in Professional Enhancement programme and curriculum incorporates specific courses to crack the placement processes.

I am a Masters in chemistry, and I am pursuing MBA currently. You should understand that what you want to do, you want to do research or you want to join corporate in your future. I tell you one thing clearly, it is very tough to get a job in pure Science stream. So, if you are planning to go for research in chemistry, you should start making up your mind for today itself, because it is a long journey i.e, 2 year M.Sc +5 year Ph.D that to even, if you are lucky and at least 3 post doc (3 years), then you will be eligible to apply for a job in some institute of national importance as assistant professor and there are very slim chance that you will get it, because there would be many who would already be there in line. So, this is only about time period. Ph.D in itself is very mentally strenuous. But, if you are lucky to get Assistant Professor job in some good institute, then there is nothing better than that. If you decide to do, let's say MBA or actuaries, then those things has their own positives and negatives. Like ways, more competition even to enter (for MBA), than it would cost you around INR 18 - INR 20 Lacs, if you are joining IIM. It would take at least 5 years to repay that loan. By chance, if you don't get a job, then you can understand yourself what would be your condition (In IIM's also few students does not land up in any job so you can understand the condition of other colleges). I hope I have given you some glimpse of both things now it is up to you what you want to choose.
