LPU for BBA is generally a solid pick because the course mixes business basics with practical exposure like internships, industry projects, and soft skills training that help in real jobs. The recruiters for BBA come from sectors like consulting, sales, finance, and digital marketing, and the placement support through workshops and interview prep does make a difference compared to many regular colleges. The crowd is diverse, the campus life is vibrant with student clubs and events, and you get decent industry interaction. Still, how good it feels for you will depend on how much effort you put into internships, networking, and practical learning beyond just attending classes.
