There are many things on which you can compare the institutions, but I suggest you the following parameters:
Curriculum : If curriculum is continuously upgraded and developed with consultations and feedback of industry. Pedagogy : The teaching pedagogy forms the backbone of how the programme is delivered, more the practical
Entrepreneurship : These days, the jobs are also kind of business, you have to OWN the processes or parts of processes, you need to show the profitability of your own center ! The exposure to entrepreneurship is must. Community development: To develop the humane side of students as well as the organizing, convincing and event management skills of the students. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days, the personality, ethics, virtuous, speech, body language, interpersonal skills etc. Are given high importance in the organisations. Do the curators keep this in mind while developing the programme curriculum? Diversity: As the world shrinks into a aligned economy, the professionals will be required to work in cross cultural teams having entirely different work culture and ethos, the national and international diversity of students in university is helpful in enabling the students develop right sensibilities for such work atmosphere. Industry interface: Ultimately its the industry which is going to immerse the students in the placements, the regular industrial talks, interactions, lectures, visits and internships. Placements: Since the ultimate aim of attaining a skill/knowledge/degree is to have a career, it is desirable that whichever university you chose, It must have good industry linkages to attract the good recruiters. The management programs at LPU are highly reputed and now raked among the top 50 by NIRF as well as ATAL rankings by MHRD ! Most intriguing part is the accreditation with AACBSP which is not easy to get. In 16 years of my career, I have found the LPU has done some stellar work in education, its heavy and smart investments in intellectual capital are the primary reason for this. More than 700 companies coming to campus for recruitment is a proof enough of its prowess in the education space. You have an easy choice here, LPU is the way forward. DVD.
