Hi aspirant,

I assume your question is in regards to the business and overall rankings in the latest NIRF rankings released by MHRD from your profile. Chandigarh University ranks 51st in business and management category while it is 49 for LPU. Talking about the overall rankings, LPU is placed at 99 and Chandigarh University is out of top 100 lists. You can get the NIRF rankings for different categories at https://www.nirfindia.org/2020/Ranking2020.html

In my opinion you should prefer LPU over Chandigarh University. Lovely professional University has a world class infrastructure, better faculties, international relations, research work and better return of investments in comparison to CU.

Get the detailed information about LPU on https://www.careers360.com/university/lovely-professional-university-phagwara

Hope it helps!!

Lovely Professional University -

There are some important factors that one must check before selecting a college for admission :

Location -

Do you want to be close or far away from home?

Public or Private -

Public colleges are funded by the state and/or central government. They provide students with financial aid.

Private colleges, while also generally smaller in population than public colleges, can sometimes give more aid because of their private funding.

Placements -

The placement statistics of past years of a college reveals its value in the employment sector.

Student-faculty ratio -

If you want to have a good understanding with your professors, you should go for a college with a high student-faculty ratio.

Sports And On-Campus Activities -

If you are good in sports and other extra - curricular activities, then look into the sports programs and events organized at colleges you are considering.

NIRF Rankings -

NIRF is the first-ever effort by the government to rank higher education institutions (HEIs) in the country. NIRF lists out the best institutions across 11 categories – overall national ranking, universities, engineering, college, medical, management, pharmacy, law, architecture, dental and research.

So, depending upon your requirements and features of different colleges, you can choose the best one for yourself.

Hope this helps !
