Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

MBA is one of the most sought after programme these days! You need to choose the university which has the curriculum developed fully with industry consultations and feedback as they are the ones who will absorb the talent at the end. My 16 years of experience in the field says, we must compare the universities/colleges on the right parameters which are: # Infrastructure to support the programme # Faculty members from top colleges like IITs/Iims and IVY league USA # Curriculum: Developed with industry feedback and consultations. # Industry interface : frequent interactions, visits an mentor-ship # Technology trainings : Like SAP, Advance Excel, Github and other MOOCs # Diversity : Students from all across the India and various other countries, for developing the right sensibilities for cross cultural environment. # Professional enhancement : For etiquette, mannerisms, interpersonal and other soft skills, ethics, values and much more # Extra curriculars: For exposure, networking and project handling. # Credit transfer and foreign exposure: In top universities. # internships and projects: For practicals # Entrepreneurship and community development: To develop multitasking capabilities # Innovation labs, Design thinking labs, business incubator and SEED capital: for entrepreneurship # placements: for careers of students In all the above LPU is ahead by a full ERA due to its stellar record! Just look at the placements, LPU attracts over 700 companies offering huge packages and great job roles to its campus. You need to check your eligibility and further process at their website ! DVD.

Dear Narain, I did MBA from LPU and LPU is helping me grow professionally and personally with its career-oriented programs and support. I would say, The Business School of LPU is accredited from (ACBSP) Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA. LPU has recently Marked among Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020. Also, LPU has won National Employability Award 2020. 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. If I talk about faculty, Most of faculty members are from IIM or from elite B- Schools (India/Abroad. They have decade of experience. Faculty was really helping. Even they helped her after regular university hours for her projects. Entrepreneurship projects are integral part of curriculum and help establish themselves as successful entrepreneurs. I got opportunity to work on community development project on social issues to cultivate social sensitivity and sense of responsibility. They have ample of specializations in MBA and also provides dual specializations. The course offers specialisation offerings in Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, Information Technology, International Business, Financial Markets, Operations, Retail Management, Entrepreneurship, Hospital and Healthcare Management. And many more. More than 30 clubs to choose from. Clubs are good place for freshers to know how to work in teams and achieving a goal in a given time. LPU provide enough exposure to students so that one can stand well in coming era of his/her life. Also, in my view, I think you should not worry about the placements. If you work hard in the course and learn as much as you can, any company visiting the campus would be happy to hire you. However, you must not neglect polishing your communication skills as well, because companies will check that in their interviews. LPU provides plenty of opportunities to its students to take part in events, competitions, fests in order to let them grow their personality and give them a chance to polish their skills. Thank!
