Question

Ahana Sharma · Answer

I can feel the excitement in people who are looking forward to start their college life but there are various factors that will go into making an institute the best for you. Academics is clearly a priority, but there are also other aspects such as facilities for research, affordability, placement opportunities and so on. All these have to be balanced to find the best place. Both the institutes are doing good but I would always prefer to choose LPU. I will tell you why? I have completed BBA-MBA from Lovely Professional University and got multiple offer letter from good companies, my experience has been phenomenal. The B-School of the university has ACBSP accreditation. The university is having tie-ups with many foreign universities and reputed companies thus facilitating higher education abroad and good placements respectively for their students. MBA is a well-known programme at LPU. You can go for an integrated course here, as well. Faculty in our department is well-experienced and have expert knowledge who work on our skill enhancement. There are lots of career opportunities after MBA in different areas. The university has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process. The university also gives us the opportunity to get real-life exposure through various training programs and an internship, which is mandatory for all. Professors go for value-based education which is something we as professionals would require in our career. Guest lectures by experts and some really successful people are arranged by our department to widen our scope of learning. As far as LPU placements are concerned, you need not worry about it. Many of my known seniors are placed in huge and reputed companies in different cities and some are placed abroad, too. The starting package for MBA graduates is one of the best at LPU as compared to any other private university. Minimum package starting from 3.5L p. a and maximum can go as far as you can hope for and also according to your potential and talent. LPU provides the sufficient knowledge and skill which helps me to gain confidence and built good personality. The total strength of the students are more than 30000 on the campus and they came from different states and countries. Hope this answer will help to take right decision! Thank You!
