First of all, the university we are choosing should have the required approval for that course, must provide us deep and practical knowledge of core subjects, must adapt for new technologies faster and the curriculum should be revised regularly to meet the company standard. The placements also play a vital role in that. Keeping all these points in mind, I would say that Lovely Professional University is the best choice for doing Master of Business Administration. Let me tell you why? No doubt LPU adopts new technologies faster than others they update their curriculum after each semester by taking feedback from the students and also to meet the latest standards LPUs business school is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and programme (ACBSP).

UPES is a better option for MBA in my opinion, as the placement is better than LPU and some of friends studying there speak highly of it. It is also expensive, however but is definitely worth the expense.

Vivek Kumar · Answer

UPES is famous for petroleum engineering and it is very costly also but campus life and left exposure is very good placement is above average over there as compared to other private colleges if you talk about LPU then it is famous for b tech courses mainly and MBA ranks second in private colleges face is less as compared to UPES but campus is not as good as UPES and placement is above average So now it's all depends on you that which college you can afford and must go through their websites and contact with other students who are studying over there and then try to know how is college curriculum then take your own decision.
