It was excellent

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

The most difficult thing in the college doesn't have a proper campus. Classes are held in a makeshift at a satellite campus. Hostels are situated in different place. The commute to our college is through college buses, which is time-consuming. Hostel rooms are well maintained and kept neet and clean.

My academic experience is awesome

Have a question related to IIM Lucknow ?

I am not sure if I want to be admitted to MIT-WPU Pune for MBA. One of my friends suggested me to take admission in a good government college. While searching I found IIM Lucknow. what to do? MIT-WPU or IIM Lucknow?

Hi!

MIT-WPU and IIM Lucknow are quite different institutions offering the MBA programme. While MIT-WPU is a private university offers an MBA through its WPU School of Business, IIM Lucknow is a public institution established by the Government of India, and is recognised as the 'Institute of National Importance' . Getting admission to the MBA programme of IIM Lucknow is comparatively more difficult than getting admission in MIT-WPU .

However, given below are some of the points of differentiation between MIT-WPU and IIM Lucknow based on which you can make a decision:

  • Exam Accepted : IIM Lucknow accepts the scores of CAT for its flagship MBA programme while MIT-WPU accepts the scores of various entrance examinations such as CAT, XAT , NMAT, GMAT, PERA, CMAT , MAH-CET, and MAT.
  • Selection Process : IIM Lucknow selection process includes appearance in the CAT followed by the Written Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interview (PI) while the selection process of MIT-WPU include appearance in any of the entrance examination followed by Group Discussion (GD)/ Extempore, and Personal Interaction (PI).
  • Specialisations Offered : MIT-WPU offers MBA in 11 different specialisations while IIM Lucknow offers only PGP/ PGP ABM/ PGP SM, and MBA Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
  • Fees : The annual fees charged by MIT-WPU for its MBA programme is Rs. 4,55,000 while the programme fees for the MBA programme charged by IIM Lucknow is approximately Rs. 20,00,000.
  • Placements : The placement opportunities offered at IIM Lucknow is far better than placements at MIT-WPU.

You might consider other factors as well according to your wish. But the conclusion is that IIM Lucknow is better option than MIT-WPU . But you need to score an exceptional percentile in CAT to get admission to the MBA programme offered at IIM Lucknow. On another hand, you might get an Interview call from MIT-WPU even at a lower percentile.

Also Check : CAT 2024 College Predictor

See, your academics are the most problematic things, as with 75%, 87% in schooling (10th and 12th), and 75% in your graduation, you are in quite disadvantageous position. And since you are in B.Sc, you'll be counted in the same bucket as engineers, you you'll get no diversity points as well.

The best thing will be that you re-attempt CAT after getting some work experience, because workex is the only thing which can counter all the negative things in your CV. All the best!

Hi,

Both MDI Gurgaon and IIM Lucknow are top tier B-Schools of India and getting an oppurtunity to study in any of them is a blessing in disguise. However there are few differences in the courses we must consider:

Course details:

  • PGPM in MDI Gurgaon- PGPM Course is designed to nurture students and help build their managerial and leadership qualities. This programme helps understand social, economic, political and ecological environment of modern society. It helps students become leaders and think out of the box.
  • ABM in IIM Lucknow- The two-year Post Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management is a full -time residential course designed to develop agribusiness leaders, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs with vision, competence and appropriate attitude for promoting/ growing agribusiness and agro-based enterprises with a strong international orientation.

Think about your priorities clearly. If you want to contribute to the agro industries then definitely you should pursue ABM course. Else you can go for PGPM course.
