Which college is better for MBA: LPU, GLA, or Galgotias?

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.

Hello, This same confusion I had when I was looking for college for my post graduation. But after a long comparison with all relevant facts and figures I joined LPU and now I am an alumni of LPU. Lpu gave me some extra edge so I joined LPU and this is the reality that LPU is really a great platform to pursue your studies and my lot of friends who have done MBA from LPU and they have very good experience and they all are will settle with very good earnings. 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. So I will recommend you to visit LPu campus at least once and you can contact through website also. www.lpu.in Thanks.

Aman Kumar · Answer

Obviously, you should go for Lovely Professional University. GLA and Galgotia are not bad but as compare to LPU, they are nothing. You can visit the website of LPU where you will get the full information and in terms of placements, the highest domestic package is 19.5 Lacs. So, in terms of placements LPU is far better.

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.
