What is the difference between MBA (general) and MBA (honors)?

Dear Mayank, The Ist difference between MBA (gen.) and MBA (hons.) lies in the eligibility. The IInd difference is MBA (gen.) doesn't have pre-term whereas MBA (hons.) has pre-term where sessions on industry sector analysis, business terminology, world associations, leadership and team building, companies that have changed the world, business leaders and thinkers, successful entrepreneurs, etc. before the start of regular classes to build a common foundation for management education. The IIIrd difference is MBA (gen.) doesn't have any activities but MBA (gen.) is having activities like Regular experiential learning activities like, workshop on dinning etiquette, workshop on psychometric testing, , management games, workshop on excel modeling, photography, clay modeling, etc. The IVth difference is MBA (gen.) is not a residential program but MBA (hons.) is as the campus and hostel environment greatly enriches the educational experience of MBA (Hons) students by providing a host of opportunities for interaction with one another for attempting group assignments, projects and presentations. It also provides opportunity to interact with faculty beyond the classroom, easier access to a range of on-campus activities and resources for socializing and for building long lasting relationships which fosters peer learning, cooperation and teamwork. Stay on campus facilitates student spending more time on the on-campus entrepreneurial ventures they have to start during the duration of program. The Vth difference is that as compare to the MBA (gen.), the students of MBA (hons.) are exposed to large number of interactions with Industry Experts. The VIth difference is that MBA (hons.) has four additional courses one in each term aimed at enhancing entrepreneurial orientation and skills of the students. Support is provided by the university to start venture in the campus during the program. List of additional course: First Term: Living the entrepreneurial Experience-I (Online course in tie up with Upgad) Second Term: Living the entrepreneurial Experience-II (Online course in tie up with Upgad) Third Term: Project-I (Entrepreneurial Project) or workshop on data visualization and communication Fourth Term: Project-II (Entrepreneurial Project) or advanced workshop on data analysis For more information, visit LPU camp office in your town. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lpu.in/admisspu-in-your-town.phion/lp#lpu-town" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://www.lpu.in/admisspu-in-your-town.phion/lp#lpu-town</a>

As per my understanding, The first two years of both types of degrees are the same; however, after that, students who pursue the honours route will complete more advanced subjects and a dissertation in their last year, while students who choose to do the general degree will complete their third year at a lower level of specialisation. Top colleges in India provide good faculty members and placement for sure. But finding the top colleges with good faculty and placements - and to get admitted in one of them would be a mindful task. However if we have already taken the guts to decide to go for MBA after our graduation- finding a good college won't be big deal! Some good institutions as per the placements are: All old Iims SPJMER ISB, Hyderabad and mohali LPU, Punjab XLRI IBS Hyderabad UBS Chandigarh.

For all courses generally, Hons. is different in a way from normal degree, as it includes a specialization with it. The concept of simple and the Hons. Degree is present in technical degrees, such as B.Tech also, where they will have one subject extra throughout the semester (which will be the specialization other than the core subjects).
