Reality of LPU

So after appearing for CAT, I did apply to 2 colleges, that is LPU and Amity University and got selected in both. But after consulting my seniors and checking placement report I chose LPU. NO, I didn't avail any quota while taking admission. So, after online registration and verification of marks, there was a personal interview in which the interviewer asked about my interest and industry related questions and many more. So the minimum criteria were u must have scored above 60% in your graduation.

As I have a huge interest in finance subject and wanted to explore more in this field, that's why I chose MBA in finance. So the faculty to student ratio is very descent, that is around 1:30 approx. Faculty are quite qualified, majority of the faculty are PhD holders and had published many reaserch papers and they also possess a vast teaching experience. So the exams are held on a trimester basis and due to pandemic, every statement is being done online. As teachers are giving their best to teach us, exams are not that much difficult.

Starting from the first semester companies started coming for internship in college but due to COVID 19 situation, vacancies were not that much. Even after selecting a candidate company refuse to give an offer letter to the student. Avg stipend offered in an internship is around 5000 per month. Companies recruit interns for various profile such as finance, business development associate, marketing etc. Overall I am not satisfied with the internship provided by the college.

LPU promises 100% placement but it all depends on the calibre of the students. Students are eligible to seat in placement after semester 4th. The average CTC of the previous placement season was around 8.5 lacs and Highest CTC offered was 21 lacs for marketing. Last year 95% of the students were placed from the college. The companies which participated in the last placement season were TCS, Amazon, icici bank etc.

So presently fees for an MBA course is 3.8 lacs per year and one can get a scholarship up to 45% of the tuition fees. And according to the university rules, the maximum hike can be 7% of the tuition fees. The scholarship is being awarded at the time of admission on the basis of their performance at the undergraduate level.

The annual fest use to held in the month of March and it's called Youth fest and it is one of the biggest fests in terms of footfall. Bollywood singers use it as a platform to launch their upcoming song. University Library has a huge collection of books related to every field and it has also tie up with various institutions and library. Sports and extracurricular activities are held regularly in the university and apart from this, there are various societies in College such as Finstreet, markophile cultural, Rcell,opr, hr, Disha etc. Which organises events such as fest, quiz and many more regularly.

So after filling the online registration form and verification of the result I have to appear for a personal interview which is sort of a technical interview in which they asked me about me, my goal, strengths and weaknesses. And In the technical interview, they asked me general finance questions which we did study at the undergraduate level and apart from this they also asked me about the current happening in the industry due to COVID -19. So for the technical round, I read the newspaper for the past one month and mainly kept attention on the finance column, which really helped me a lot in my interview.
