When comparing return-on-investment (ROI) for an MBA at Lovely Professional University (LPU) versus Chandigarh University (CU), both have strengths — but overall, CU often yields a slightly better ROI under typical conditions.

On one hand, LPU shows decent MBA placement results: the highest reported MBA package in recent years reached ~₹29–30 LPA, and some batches report top-10% averages around ₹13–14 LPA.  However, its average placement figures stay modest — many MBA graduates reportedly receive offers between ₹5–8 LPA depending on specialisation and competition. 

On the other hand, CU's MBA placements—while not outstandingly high—tend to come with a lower cost base (fees tend to be more modest), which improves net ROI. Many reports show CU offers a solid number of placement opportunities (800+ offers, 200+ recruiting companies) and acceptable placement rates.  When fee-to-salary ratio is considered, CU tends to deliver better value for money especially for students not aiming exclusively for top-end packages.

So if your goal is reasonable salary after graduating without overspending, CU likely offers better ROI. If you aim for top-tier recruiters and are willing to compete, LPU might offer upside — but ROI is less guaranteed.
