Which university is better for MBA: LPU or Chitkara University?

The MBA programme at LPU is unlike any other. It's ridiculous to compare LPU's programme to Chitkara's since they're not even near to the magnitude at which LPU works. The programme combines cutting-edge curriculum, experiential learning methodology, industry interaction, projects, internships, and consultancies, as well as technology trainings. Because of the size of the campus and the number of students, students have a multitude of options to practise their entrepreneurial talents. Students acquire and appreciate cultural sensibilities as a result of the multicultural intake, which makes them valuable assets in the workplace. The most striking feature is the centre for professional enhancement, where students are exposed to new ideas about personality development, professional etiquette, virtues, ethics, interpersonal, and networking skills for nearly the entire duration of the programme, rather than just a few weeks of placement trainings. Apart from cracking the interviews, this instils these attributes in the pupils in a far more effective method, and goes a long way toward moulding their careers. In terms of reputation, since you asked, NIRF, a government organisation, has rated Mittal School of Business among the top 50 B-schools in the country twice in a row, beating out most Iims in some of the metrics and placing it second in the country. More significantly, over 200 firms come to college only to recruit management graduates! This is a tremendous amount and a significant accomplishment. More than 97 percent of qualified graduates are placed in their ideal jobs. That is unlike any other university; you can SEE it from the first step of the application process; even Iims have a baseline graduation eligibility of 50%, whereas LPU has lifted the bar to 55%. It's no surprise that it has one of the country's the highest intakes, with a placement rate of over 97 percent. I hope this information is useful.

Both the universities are great at their places, as if I talk about LPU, this university is differently great in north zone of India. This university reputation is above than any other university around and there is no scope of comparison because LPU have their own standards. University management is one of the best in India, that the students of any college have a case study of LPU Management in their curriculum. Funding for start-ups, projects (quality ones) is also in abundance. Infrastructure :- There are green spaces throughout the campus, including a/c-equipped classrooms, Google and IMAC labs, moot courts, fine art studios, farmland, a space centre, play areas, and both girls' and boys' dorms. Placement: The second most essential thing that a candidate might SEE in a university or college while applying for admission is placement. So, 90 to 95 out of 100 students at the Lovely Professional University find employment. The highest wage package, specifically in B.Tech, was 64 lac annually. 21 lacs were spent on management annually. So, in my opinion, the packages are excellent compared to those offered by other universities. Ranking: If I talk about rankings, LPU is among the top 100 private and public universities. The most momentous achievement for me this year was the latest ranking by the world's university ranking among all public and private universities. Hope this information is helpful for you.

Chitkara University offer Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, Business Logistics, HR, Healthcare IT, Public health and others. Being promoted by educationists the university is very focused on discipline, process oriented and focused at making a success of every student. You have all great facilities like library which have great books both as per your subject. The placements are good with many great companies visiting the campus every year and hiring the students. What I enjoy is the guest lectures that the industry specialist come and give you all the time and this I feel keeps you upto date regarding the latest trends. Placements and Internships are also good. The programme can get rigorous so be prepared to do a lot of work, ensure that you submit your assignments and work on time every time, as that is what you are going to be scored on, time management is a skill that will come in handy as that's how you will be able to succeed. Overall I feel Chitkara University MBA programme is a good choice for anyone looking to pursue management education. The programme gets a bit much as your teachers and the course work keep you on your toes all the time, the workload is never ending, with assignments to submit and seminars to attend, there is always something that need to be done, so one skill that has come in handy to me is time management which I have mastered by keeping a timetable that I religiously follow as that's the only way you can keep in step with the programme.
