BBA is a 3-year graduate program. Those who are inclined towards management studies can opt for BBA. The course is one of the most popular courses and is renowned as a well-known course among the students. The students who graduate with a degree in BBA from LPU are qualified to give competitive exams, apply for the post of process managers, risk analysts, development executives, human resource managers, and many others. After completing BBA, you can apply for higher studies by joining dual or integrated programs. Placement companies: Various companies like Amazon, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, HCL, etc., offer on-campus job opportunities. Cognizant has a placement record of placing over 600 students in a single day. So, you should not worry about the placements. Students also get trained in the same company in which they are placed. After completing your BBA degree, you can pursue higher studies like MBA which is in the management field, again.

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’s 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 64lac annually. 21lacs 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.
