Both the institutes stand as a mark of excellence when it comes to quality education, exposure and progressive development. IIM shall provide you a PGDM Degree while LPU will offer you an MBA degree. MBA provides a headstart for candidates to develop management skills. The course takes a student over the core areas of management including marketing, sales, strategy management etc. And it also covers key areas of finance and economics. Plus, soft skill development such as business communication is also taught in the MBA course. It is more about the management principles, planning and organizing. This opens a wide career option in Marketing, HR, Finance, Retail, IT Customer Service etc. When you are deciding about an MBA course try to select a college that shall provide you ample growth opportunity. Though you shall find many MBA colleges in Punjab yet I will suggest you to go for LPU. LPU has immense amount of exposure as well as academic-industry interactions happening throughout the year. This polishes the potential ability of the students to develop according to the industry needs. The university also maintain a serene teacher student ration along with it the university pertains a thorough mentorship model that builds a stronger and effective working model. Such baby steps definitely give it to a bigger scope and arena. LPU provides specialised MBA ie in collaboration with industry. Here the students get the benefit of attending certain specialised subjects under industry experts. University also provides SEED money to the students to invest in NSE or start up and are evaluated on the basis of the output earned. This is a credit unit hence the students are as serious as the vision is.
