Hi there, MBA at LPU is a different experience altogether. Comparing LPU's programme with Chitkara is unfair, is these are not even close to the scale at which LPU operates. The programme is a great mix of cutting edge curriculum, experiential learning pedagogy, industry interface, projects, internships and consultancies, technologies trainings and many more. The sheer size of campus and number of students provides a plethora of opportunities to students to explore their entrepreneurial skills. The multicultural intake ensures that students learn and understand cultural sensibilities which become an asset in corporate life. The most striking point however is the center for professional enhancement, the students are exposed to new ideas about personality development, professional etiquette, virtues, ethics, interpersonal and networking skills for almost full duration of the programme rather than just a few weeks of placement trainings. This inculcates these qualities in the students in much better way and go a long way into shaping the career apart from cracking the interviews. Coming to reputation, since you asked, NIRF a government agency has ranked Mittal School of business among top 50 B-schools in the country twice in a row, in some of the parameters it has even beaten most Iims and ranked no. 2 in the country ! More importantly, more than 200 companies visit the campus for recruitment of management grads only ! Which is a huge number and a big achievement. More than 97% of eligible graduates get their dream placements. It is not like any other university, you can SEE it from the first step of selection, even Iims have basic eligibility of 50% in graduation, while LPU has raised the bar to 55%. No wonder it has one of the largest intakes in the country which has over 97% placement record. Hope this helps DVD.

Hello, Being an Alumni of LPU from an MBA, I would say a Big Yes to LPU. When it comes to Professional degree I. e. MBA, LPU is the best University. One of my cousin pursued her MBA from LPU. LPU told that LPU is renowned private university with more than 30,000 students and experienced faculty from various institutes. As per my view LPU has an edge in terms of curriculum, exposures, and placements. Mittal School of Business is among the first 10 institutions in India to get ACBSP (USA) accreditation. 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 ) 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 In terms of Curriculum, the number of courses offered in MBA are wide starting from plain MBA to specialised and Honours MBA which is purely residential. Adding to this MBA is trimester which means student will get more knowledge and will study more number of courses as compared to others. Mittal School of Business- LPU alumni are working in the best of the MNCs across the Globe like Google, Facebook and Apple. International Companies like Hyatt (USA), Ritz Carlton (USA), Adani Wilmar (Africa), Altruist (Africa), Al-Rakha (Dubai), Dharam Consultancy (USA) selected LPU students for International locations. 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. Students are offered internships and are asked to perform in such a way that the opportunity gets converted into a pre-placement opportunity. Professionalism is taught by Professional Universities, so is by B-School of LPU. I hope this helps. All the Best.
