Hi LovePreet, Being an education consultant I would say Integrated course at LPU not just save a year but is financially compatible as well. A big Yes for LPU. LPU's B-School, Mittal School of Business is among the first 10 institutions in India to get ACBSP (USA) accreditation. As per my view LPU has an edge in terms of curriculum, exposures, and placements. I would like to share few major highlights of this course at LPU are :
1. LPU has more than 30000 students from more than 70 countries studying in various 250 courses including business programs which shows a direct correlation with the quality or standard which LPU ensures to provide to satisfy the standards at various levels.
2. Quality of education is an important parameter which also distinguished this institute from many B-Schools.
3. Industry delivered certifications : Opportunity is provided for pursuing industry delivered Certificate like Digital Marketing, Six Sigma Green Belt, Financial Modeling, NCFM, NCCMP, LEAP and few more.
4. Good track record of placement of students in companies like The Royal Bank of Scotland, Colgate, Vodafone, IT, Practo, Trident and many more and they are over the moon and many more.
5. Pathways are also floated which actually assist the student to achieve their dream I. e. Corporate Jobs, Government Jobs and Higher Studies.
6. Pedagogy: Focus on case based teaching to develop skills in analytical thinking and reflective judgement by reading and discussing complex, real-life scenarios. Apart from this, emphasis is laid on teaching by use of experiential activities, seminars, business games, role plays, etc.
7. More exposure to the students is given by allotting application-oriented assignments and examination system.
8. The University also floats study abroad programs try giving an opportunity to complete your degree in US, CANADA, AUSTRALIA etc. You can go for student exchange programs on scholarships paying nominal fees, You do foreign internships and process for foreign study from the university itself. The opportunities are endless.
9. Close Interface with the Corporate World, Guest Lectures, Live Projects, and Industry training all are an integral part of curriculum. I hope this helps.
