Question

Sampreet Kaur · Answer

Lovely Professional University is a strong MBA option regularly ranked among India's top private universities and visible in global impact rankings. Its MBA programme draws a wide range of recruiters from IT, consulting, banking and core sectors, with recent reports showing a top‑10 percent average package around 13–14 LPA and a peak package in the crores, depending on profile and performance. GLA Mathura and Galgotias Greater Noida also offer MBA courses with decent industry exposure and mid‑range packages, but their scale of company visits and high‑end offers tends to be smaller than LPU's. For a student who values a large campus, diverse specialisations, and a broad recruitment network, LPU usually stands out though the final choice should still match personal goals and entrance scores.

In LPU MBA programme comes Mittal School of Business is among the first 10 institutions in India to get ACBSP (USA) accreditation. Last year in MBA students got package of max 16 Lacs per annum and the average packages were of 5 Lacs per annum.

Priya Sharma · Answer

In my opinion, GLA is the best choice for MBA among LPU, GLA, and Galgotias. The university focuses more on practical learning rather than just theoretical knowledge. Regular sessions, workshops, and guest lectures are conducted which help students understand real corporate scenarios. Students also get good exposure through site visits, live projects, and interactive activities. Many students even secured internships in the first semester itself (around 40+), which reflects the strong industry exposure and support. The campus environment is also very positive and career-oriented, and placement training starts early. Overall, GLA provides better practical exposure, learning opportunities, and placement support, which makes it a strong option for MBA.
