Which university is better for MBA in terms of placements, LPU or IMS Unison?

Question

Arshia Singh · Answer

LPU has a very large campus with multiple industry tie-ups and a higher number of recruiters visiting for management roles. Its programs include structured training in aptitude, soft skills, and business projects, which helps students prepare better for placements. The scale of LPU also gives students exposure to a variety of companies across different sectors, increasing the chances of securing good offers. IMS Unison has good placement support, especially in the region of Uttarakhand, but the recruiter pool and industry exposure are comparatively smaller than LPU. Overall, for MBA students looking for wider placement opportunities, exposure, and corporate tie-ups, LPU tends to provide an advantage.

Hello, If placements are your top priority, Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers a clear edge over IMS Unison for an MBA. LPU has strong industry linkages and attracts top recruiters like Deloitte, Amazon, KPMG, HDFC Bank, and ICICI. Some students even secure international roles with packages up to INR 18–23 LPA, based on performance and specialization. The MBA programme includes live projects, internships, case studies, and training in Six Sigma, digital marketing, and financial modeling. This ensures students are industry-ready. Compared to IMS Unison, which is more regionally focused with limited placement reach, LPU provides broader exposure and better career opportunities, making it a more dynamic and rewarding choice.

There are a number of good universities in India. Some of the features of a good university are good practical and industrial exposure, good placements, skill development programs, professional enhancement training and exposure to its students and along with this how much scholarship is provided by the university to the students. Lovely Professional University is one of the leading university in north India now. LPUs business school is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and programme (ACBSP).

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.
