If I were deciding between LPU and Chandigarh University for MBA, I'd personally lean towards LPU, particularly if the overall fee and scholarship are comparable. LPU has a broad MBA ecosystem with specialised options, industry-linked programmes, internships and a large placement network. Current MBA figures show ₹49.4 Lacs the highest package and ₹13.6 Lacs average package for the top 10%, with 450+ recruiters. I wouldn't choose an MBA solely on the highest package, though. Your specialisation, internship, communication, aptitude and work experience can make a huge difference. If I wanted a broad MBA with many specialisation choices, LPU would be my preference.

LPU's MBA is quite broad and gives students the option to specialise according to their career interests. You can explore areas like Finance, Marketing, HR, Business Analytics, Fintech, Digital Marketing, International Business and Supply Chain. There are also industry-linked programmes, which I find useful because they connect classroom learning with practical business problems. Placement-wise, the current MBA figures include a ₹49.4 Lacs the highest package, ₹13.6 Lacs average for the top 10% and 450+ recruiters. For me, the biggest advantage is the variety of specialisations and industry exposure available under one MBA ecosystem.
