Good question. Short answer — LPU is generally easier than Thapar for MBA, but it depends:Thapar MBA (LM Thapar School of Management) admits via CAT, NMAT, CMAT, etc., and its MBA cutoffs are fairly high: Thapar's CMAT cutoff was ~75. LPU MBA is more flexible: they accept LPUNEST, CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT and require ~55% in graduation. LPU also has a bigger intake and more scholarship options, so for someone looking at easier access + lower barrier, LPU tends to be more accessible. So: if you want safety + flexibility → LPU. If you want a more “prestigious-MBA-school feel” and are confident in exam-based admission → Thapar.

Thapar: Avg package ~ ₹10.15 LPA for mech.Amrita Coimbatore: More varied placements, average BTech package is ~₹9.08 LPA. Which to pick?
