I am an MBA student at IBS Gurgaon. I can only talk about my institution.
For an MBA, IBS Gurgaon offers good faculty and placements, and an affordable fee structure. The IBS Case Research Centre is the 3rd largest CASE Developer in the world.
IBS follows a case-based approach to teaching management students. This approach allows students to learn about the real industry requirements and helps them look beyond the prescribed syllabus.
If a student does not get admission into IIMs for education, he/she can prefer IBS Gurgaon as the next best option in terms of ROI and academics. Some of the top companies that recruit management students from IBS Gurgaon are- Deloitte, KPMG, Amazon and Google, among others. Moreover, IBS Gurgaon offers a strong alumni network for its management students.
Based on these factors, I would recommend you to choose IBS Gurgaon over LPU for your business and management studies.
