I have done my MBA from LPU. LPU is one of the top private universities in India. The placements in LPU are what make it stand out from the rest of the universities.
All the aforementioned institutes have their unique strengths and weaknesses that make the institute what it is today. Placements alone cannot be considered as the evaluating factor as they differ from stream to stream, year to year, and even campus to campus. One of my friends completed her MBA from Amity University, Noida Campus, and she was all praise for the excellent exposure and Amity tag. Consider the following
Personally, I feel the preference order for the aforementioned institutes should be the following
Manipal University>SRM>KIIT>LPU>Amity
However, these are just general figures and should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s better to conduct thorough research before choosing one of these colleges.
LPU is the best among these for an MBA in terms of placements as well as other aspects. LPU’s Mittal School of Business is among the leading business schools in India.
LPU MBA placements are outstanding. Alumni of this B-School work in top MNCs across the world like Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. As per the placement highlights, students receive salary packages in the range of INR 4 to INR 11 LPA.
LPU has a start-up incubation center that helps students get the required resources and support for their own start-ups.
Manipal and SRM are ranked within 76-100 as private MBA colleges by NIRF, KIIT is ranked 32nd, LPU is ranked 49th by NIRF, and Amity is ranked 7th by Times 2020 for private MBA programs. The number of courses offered in MBA by Manipal, SRM is 4 whereas at KIIT, LPU, and Amity it is 1, 9, and 27 respectively.
