Question

Manan Aggarwal · Answer

Both LPU and UPES are excellent private colleges that excel in the field of education. LPU provided me with an MBA degree. So you'll be the only one who knows about an MBA programme at LPU. Because I am an LPU alumnus, I strongly suggest LPU obtaining an MBA degree for the following reasons: LPU's Business School is recognised by ACBSP, the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs in the United States, providing excellent education and industry-experienced staff members. Students who complete their studies at LPU will get a degree from a body in the United States. Placement: Every year, over 550 firms come to LPU to look for employees. LPU has a strong placement record and has also won prizes for employability. The major thing I loved about LPU for placement is that it offers placement classes to students starting in their first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their last year of study. For the management programme, the maximum package available is 21 LPA. Agribusiness Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing, International Business, Financial Markets, Digital Market, Hospital and Healthcare, Business Analytics, Banking and Financial Services, Operations, Artificial Intelligence, and more specializations are available in the MBA programme.

Dear Mayank, For selection of any institute, NIRF ranking is most important factor to observe the goodness of campus in various parameters such as placements, curriculum, industrial tie ups, and faculty. LPU is the premier institute of country having rankings under top 50 institutes as per NIRF-2020 rankings. Due to best ranked B-School of India, the LPU has tie ups with more than 700 companies such as Allahabad Bank, Apollo Health city, Axis Bank Ltd. , Bajaj Allianz, Berger Paints, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, BHEL, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Britannia Industries Ltd. , Canara Bank, Capitol Hospital, Jalandhar, Cipla, Coca cola, Decathlon, Deloitte, Dukes India Private Limited, Eastman Industries Ltd, Fine Switched Pvt.

Ltd, Jammu and Kashmir Bank, Karur Vyasa Bank, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute, Larsen and Toubro. These companies are regularly visiting campus for recruitment drives. One more important point is that these companies selected students and then the industrial training of students will be given during the course so then when they will be about to finish the course. They will be ready for the Job. The internships and On Job Training (OJT) are the key features of LPU placement model. Rest if a student is interested in being a Government employ, Entrepreneur, or he wants to be a researcher, the university is also offering Pathways subjects to give them insight knowledge for their passion. LPU has students from across the globe so environment for study and living is very cool. The cultural activities, competitions engage students in learning and enhancing their skills. And faculty is doctorate with many years of experience in both academy and industry. Recently, AMAZON selected LPU students with 28LPA package. And for current term, placement is again 100%. I hope this information will help you for career precedence. Good Luck.

Both the universities have their own reputation and I don't have any idea about the average package of Lovely Professional University. But in my knowledge, UPES has better placements for MBA. But for more confirmation you should directly call them to ask about the package or this kind of stuff.
