The Mittal School of Business (MSB) at Lovely Professional University (LPU) has once again illuminated the landscape of management education in India, achieving unparalleled success in its MBA placements for the Class of 2025. With a staggering highest package of Rs. 49.46 Lakhs secured by standout performer Manik Salaria from a leading multinational corporation, MSB has cemented its reputation as a crucible for forging global business leaders.
This accomplishment is further validated by a substantial 29% year-on-year increase in total offers, rising from 873 in 2024 to 1,129 in 2025. The top decile of the cohort achieved an impressive average compensation of Rs. 12.00 Lakhs, indicative of the high caliber of talent cultivated within the programme. A distinguished consortium of over 250+ national and international organizations facilitated this robust recruitment activity. The premier global organizations included Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Federal Bank, Nestlé, Asian Paints, Flipkart, Broadridge Financial Services, High Radius, Blinkit, Trident Groups, Aditya Birla, TCS, Wipro Consumers, Berger Paints and Service Now. Students received offers for critical roles spanning business analysis, financial advisory, digital marketing strategy, account management, category leadership, and client relationship management.
The placement narrative extends beyond conventional career pathways, with 15% of the graduating cohort opting for entrepreneurial ventures. These emerging enterprises successfully secured venture capital exceeding INR 2 Crore prior to graduation, with backing from established investment networks including Indian Angel Network, Marwari Catalyst, and Venture Boult, among others. This entrepreneurial momentum is exemplified by successful student-led initiatives such as EcoBite, a sustainable tableware solution; CHICKELZ, an innovative food product venture; and Cafe 18 O'5, a hospitality enterprise demonstrating remarkable commercial traction.
A pedagogic framework that integrates academic rigor with practical industry engagement underpins this exceptional performance. The curriculum offers advanced specializations in contemporary domains including Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain applications, Fintech, Digital Marketing and many more. Students also gain a decisive global edge through international credit transfer options with universities in the USA, UK, Australia, and Europe. Their learning is intensified through financial modelling, corporate simulations, and an exclusive lecture series featuring top CEOs and industry leaders.
