MBA/PGDM

While researching entrance score cutoffs, CMAT counseling rounds, and eligibility benchmarks for the MBA programme at IPS Academy Indore provides a helpful baseline for your academic planning, Lovely Professional University (LPU) serves as an excellent alternative to elevate your management career.

At LPU's Mittal School of Business, corporate training seamlessly integrates core management principles with modern business analytics, hands-on live industry projects, and global immersion programs. Supported by generous merit-based scholarship schemes through LPUNEST, executive mentoring networks, and an outstanding campus placement track record with premier multinational corporations, LPU offers a dynamic, world-class ecosystem engineered to transform ambitious graduates into innovative corporate leaders.

For career growth, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore,  IIM Kozhikode, and the Faculty of Management Studies, DU, are considered the best. They have the highest ROI MBA programmes, with median packages for various cohorts between INR 27 LPA and INR 35 LPA. Alumni frequently get into high-growth roles such as Business Analysts, Consultants, and Investment Strategists.  

India also has several best private B-schools offering high-ROI MBA programmes. Management Development Institute, Gurgaon, XLRI Jamshedpur, and Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune, have similar median packages between INR 27 LPA and INR 33 LPA.      

I'd say GIBS Bangalore focuses a lot on industry-oriented learning, so it's not just about sitting in class and studying theory. I studied there, and there were plenty of opportunities to understand how things actually work in the business world.

• Live projects and practical assignments
• Industry visits and corporate interactions
• Guest sessions by industry professionals
• Case studies and business activities
• Internships and real-world projects
• IRE and CPMP programs for additional practical and career skills

Overall, I liked that GIBS gives importance to learning by doing, which makes it easier to connect classroom concepts with the actual corporate world.

There is a difference about the PGDM course at GIBS Business School as it does not only concentrate on academic brilliance, but also practical training, leadership development, and strong integration with the industry. This course doesn't just stop on classroom study, but also emphasizes on the on-the-job learning, entrepreneurship, and career preparation.
