Dear Anush, To the best of my knowledge, the post-graduation should be in the same subject for the Ph.D. programme. Therefore, you can pursue Ph.D. in Management after an MBA programme but not in commerce. Only M.Com students can pursue Ph.D. in Commerce. My friend is also doing Ph.D. in Management at LPU after his MBA programme. It is not difficult to get admission to Ph.D. if you are good at research work. To increase your chances to get admission to Ph.D. you should have a good academic record and the area of research you want to work in. There are many universities that offer the Ph.D. programme, LPU is one of the best universities to do a Ph.D. to enhance your knowledge in the research area. Let me share something about the Ph.D. programme at LPU. Eligibility: You should have a minimum of 55% marks in your master's degree in a relevant subject. After that, you have to qualify for the LPU NEST exam if you have not qualified for a national level test such as GATE UGC NET CSIR, GPAT etc. The entrance will have 70% weightage in selection. After that, you have to appear for an interview and qualify for the same and have 30% weightage for the final selection. You may avail of scholarships also on the basis of LPU NEST or National Level Test. There is a special scholarship for female students to pursue a full-time or part-time Ph.D. at LPU. The highlight of the programme is the Flexi-Course Work option specially designed to accommodate professionals wherein a student can choose the best-suited option to complete the course work. Option 1
Classes on weekends (Saturday & Sunday only)
Option 2
4 days course work every month (Preferably every second week: Thu-Sun)
Note: LPU is not offering this option of coursework to agriculture students. Option 3
15 days of coursework (In the month of April/May )
LPU researchers won a huge research grant worth 10.8 Million through the Indo Canadian Impact project from DBT, GOI. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. I hope this helps
Thanks.

Ramachandran International Institute of Management, Pune (RIIM) is India's first corporate-sponsored Business School. The school with strong support from the Indian industry has grown into one of the most prestigious business schools in the country and has been consistently ranked amongst the top 5 B-schools in Pune. RIIM is not only a top premium B-School, but also a home for everyone who has studied there. When it comes to MBA, it is approved by AICTE, Affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, recognised by government. Of Maharashtra. In addition to this, RIIM-Arihant Group of Institutes Conduct Employability and MDP Programme for us, thus enhancing our job employability. Practical based methods are conducted. Both colleges are good but in terms of ROI (Return on Investments) RIIM Pune is far ahead from IIBS Bangalore. RIIM charges only 4.5 to 6lacs for MBA programme where IIBS charges around 7lacs. In term of placement RIIM placed there candidates at an average package around 6.5lacs and the highest of 14lacs in companies like Airtel, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, YES Bank, Birla SunLife, Coca-Cola, Eureka Forbes, Gillette India, GODREJ, Havells Limited, Hindustan Unilever, HSBC, ICICI, Infosys, ING Vysya, Intel, Mahindra and Mahindra etc.

When we talk about the placements it snot only about the package got. It includes all the factors which makes you capable of getting the desired job and the decent package. Curriculum is the main imp thing which we need to focus. And I think Among these, IDIRA, MIT, ISBM etc. Colleges RIIM is the best in terms of Curriculum, certifications which helps you get your desired job. All the other name si have taken they are also good have big campuses and reputation but I personally feel one should go with RIIM PUNE. Given that the 2 years fees is INR 4.5/6. Lac and the average package of the institute is INR 6.5 lacs per annum, I think it is unbeatable in the terms of ROI. Students can pay back their education loans in very less time. Whereas other are charging a big amount. It starts with 8 onwards.
