Hi,

As far as I know, LPU is ranked 37th in the management programme while CU is ranked 42nd.

So, I would recommend LPU for the MBA programme over CU.

Being an alumnus of LPU, I highly recommend LPU for an MBA degree keeping in mind the following points:

The Mittal School of Business at LPU is accredited by Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, USA ensuring quality education and industry-experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA.

Placement: Companies like Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, Asian Paints, Bajaj Allianz, CEAT, Rallis India, etc. visit LPU for recruitment purposes.The main thing for placement that I liked there is that LPU provides placement classes to the students from the first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their final year of the program. The highest package offered for the management programme is 21 LPA.

MBA Specialization: Agribusiness Management, Human Resource, Marketing, International Business, Financial Markets, Digital Market, Hospital and Healthcare, Business Analytics, Banking and Financial Services, Operations, Artificial Intelligence, etc.

Scholarships: LPU provides very good scholarships on the basis of Percentage in Qualifying Exam/ Qualification previous to Eligibility Qualification, LPUNEST, CAT/ MAT/ XAT/ CMAT or NMAT, Financial Aid, Need-Based, Financial Aid for Serving/ Retired Defence/ CAPF/ Para- Military Personnel and their dependents, Financial Aid to Persons with Certain Disabilities

Faculty: All faculty members are well qualified from IITs, NITs, IIMs, and top-ranked universities all over the world.

Infrastructure: All the facilities are available on the campus itself, a student does not need to go outside for anything. On the campus, Central Library, Hospital facility is available 24*7 for staff and students, Shopping mall, Indoor Sports Stadium with 3 Olympic size Swimming Pools, Public/Private Sector Banks, ATM, etc.

Ranking:

1. Ranked 1st for Focus on Affordable and clean energy in India
