Venkateshwara Open University

There are two universities in Itanagar Venkateshwara Open University and Rajiv Gandhi University. Rajiv Gandhi University was opened in 1984, whereas VOU is fairly new being opened in 2012. 

Rajiv Gandhi University is a central University offering a variety of courses to the students. VOU on the other hand is a private open University offering limited course and specialises in Work Integrated MBA programs. 

Median package drawn by students of Rajiv Gandhi University is around INR 4.5 LPA and VOU bags around INR 6 LPA as median package. 

Now, it totally depends on the student and his/ her preference to select which university works better for him/ her.

Venkateshwara Open University have been able to secure good placements offers for its students over the years. 

In 2021-22, the placement cell at VOU secured over 200 placement offers for the Departments of Science, Commerce, and Arts from renowned multinational organisations such as DE Shaw, Accenture, Deloitte (US offices), KPMG, PwC, EY, Wipro, Barclays India, United Airlines, Willis Towers Watson, AON and Grant Thornton among others.

UPES Online and Venkateshwara Open University are both at the same level when it comes to placements. The last median salary bagged by MBA students from UPES Online was INR 5.5 LPA, whereas it was INR 6 LPA for Venkateshwara Open University.
