Hi, Both the universities are doing well, but I would recommend LPU over them. My friend's sister is studying B.Com from LPU. Her words are- LPU does not compromise with education at any cost. Even during the lockdown period, their classes were held online according to the timetable. This is what a student wants. Moreover, A large number of opportunities for pursuing industry-delivered certifications are available to our students. Some of the significant certifications include NCFM and NCCMP (in tie-up with NSE), CMA (in tie-up with IMA, USA), SAP (German Multinational Software certification), and so on. Such certifications help to make the students' industry ready and enhance their employability potential. LPU provides a Good track record of placement of students in companies like Amazon, Trident Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, Concentrix, Wipro, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Decathlon Sports, Bajaj Allianz, Karvy Stock Broking, etc. I hope this helps! Thanks.

Hi Narain, Well, Loyola is carrying a legacy of its long history and experience, whereas LPU has come up as a big brand and it has good reputation in an Education sector. While both have their strengths and niche and a great word of mouth in their forte. Still being an Education Consultant, I would suggest to go to LPU as it has been one which has been successful in turning this academic programme into a fully professional, research and job oriented programme on back of its superb investments in intellectual capital. May industry certification, technology trainings like advanced excel and other MOOCs make LPU's programme a top contender. The placements have also been on the top in the passing batch. He Commerce programs are also accredited by AACBSP USA ! Choice is yours. All the best for your future.
