The overall rank of Mittal School of Business in NIRF is among the Top 50 B-School of the country. The students have collaborated with various companies for their Live Projects such as Himalaya wellness, Bonn biscuits, Sony, Colgate, ModernFood, Capgemini, Oyo Rooms, Facebook, Sitaby, Cloud Buy, Training Wizards, etc. Moreover, students have the opportunity to earn while learn by entering into entrepreneurship projects.
In addition to the regular course work, specially designed workshop courses like Workshop on Digital Marketing, Business Simulation, Advertising Design, Innovation and Creativity, Leadership Development, Entrepreneurship, and Business Plan, Excel Modelling, Professional Selling Skills and Workshops on Life Skills are offered to promote practical implication of various courses which train students for industry.

Dear Sarthak, Hello!
Every university is doing well for their students but as per my knowledge, I can give you the insight of LPU as my cousin did B.Tech from here and she was placed in Cognizant with a good salary package.
1) In LPU, the faculty, infrastructure, and facilities are excellent as IITs.
2) In LPU, due to tie-ups with leading companies such as SAP, Cognizant, Microsoft, BOSCH, CISCO, GOOGLE, etc. , the syllabus of courses are vetted and inspected by these company professionals at the beginning of every semester.
3) The preparation of placement subjects such as soft skills, analytical skills, etc. Are the part of the curriculum here like, you will read these as subjects in every semester like other subjects.
4) There is more than twelve Center of Excellence established by prestigious companies like Automation Any ware, Texas Instruments, CISCO, SAP, Cadence, etc. For on-campus Lab training and internships
5) The innovation studio of LPU is a benchmark for a design and development center where students can work on their ideas. In 2019, during PM Narendra Modi's visit to LPU for Indian Science Congress address, he was visited to main venue from helipad in Driver less car which was designed by LPU students using artificial intelligence.
6) LPU has his own space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO.

Dear Aditya, I have no idea of the Acharya Institute but being alumni of LPU, I can share the details of LPU with you. I would suggest you compare the following parameters:
Curriculum: If at all the curriculum is continuously upgraded and developed with consultations and feedback from the industry. Since it is a highly dynamic field, you can't afford a programme that is stuck in obsolete technologies and syllabi. Pedagogy: The teaching pedagogy forms the backbone of how the programme is delivered, more practical, better it is. Maximum exposure to practicals and internships more chances of becoming a well-rounded professional. Technology: The businesses and the business functions are now high tech-driven, the tech programme must have the exposure and training of the same. The world-leading technologies like SAP, GitHub, Advance excel, etc. Are a must for any professional to succeed in their career. Industry interface: Ultimately it's the industry that is going to immerse the students in the placements, the regular industrial talks, interactions, lectures, visits, and internships are a must-have in any tech programme. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days, personality, ethics, virtuous, speech, body language, interpersonal skills, etc. Are given high importance in the organizations. The programme must include the training or modules on all these. Diversity: As the world shrinks into an aligned economy, the professionals will be required to work in cross-cultural teams having entirely different work cultures and ethos, the national and international diversity of students in a college is helpful in enabling the students to develop the right sensibilities for such work atmosphere. Entrepreneurship: Even though most of the students go for jobs, exposure to entrepreneurship is required. This helps the professionals know how the other departments and the profit center heads work, what are the expectations etc. The college must have innovation labs, design thinking, and a business incubator. Placements: The programme is the only means to the end! And desired end of such a course is a placement. You must check if the college/university has solid a track record of placements or not. If your college ticks all these right boxes, go for it!
More than 600 companies visit LPU for placements and offer up to 42 LPA. I hope this helps
