Now-a-days, selection of the right institute to pursue the qualification is the biggest challenge. Last year, when my cousin was to plan her admission, we inquired from many institutes and then finally preferred LPU because of the following: # Internationally Accreditation #Contemporary Curriculum # Industrial Tieups # Workshops #Specializations #Entrepreneurship #Community Development Projects #Professional Enhancement and Software Skills #Case Based Teaching #Holistic Development Let me tell you the points in detail. 1. MBA is ACBSP Accredited which relates that the curriculum is that of international standards. Just few days ago, I came to know that LPU is ranked 78th amongst all Government and private universities and 50 amongst top management institutions which itself is a matter of pride. (https://www.nirfindia.org/2020/ManagementRanking.html) 2. MBA is a flagship programme of LPU, with many specializations and one coveted MBA Hons programme, it is one of the most sought after MBA. 3. In order to provide the exposure, series of guest lectures are provided to the students where they learn from the speakers and they share their problems as well. 4. Career Prospects: There are three career prospects a. Primary Prospects: Students can attain managerial positions in HR, marketing, banking, strategy, insurance, retail, finance, operations in national and global firms. B. Secondary Prospects: Entrepreneurial ventures in form of click or brick models can be initiated. C. Tertiary Prospects: Career in teaching and research in reputed educational institutions can be explored. 5. The student who acquired MBA degree from LPU gets the option to appear in the interview for the big brands such as Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, Asian Paints, Bajaj Allianz, CEAT, Khimji Ramdas, Ernst and Young, Flipkart, Federal, Moody Analytics, ITC, Practo, Redington and many more with the higher package. To assist the students for better placement, LPU has embedded the current news as one of the parameter in continuous assessment. I am feeling lucky that my cousin took admission in such an institution of repute who has many rankings to its credit. I will advise you to book the seat at the earliest or maximum by 15-7-2020 Hope this helps.
