The competitive era has made bachelor levels degree a sort of incomplete. If rising is your ultimate plan, then a bachelor’s degree is not sufficient. There was a time when engineering alone was sufficient to fetch you an interesting job and lucrative salary, but now it is hardly possible. A master’s level course, especially MBA is compulsory to rise and get a high reputed post easily. The arena of management is already too crowded. Thus, there are institutes like L.M Thapar School of management that offers management programs for the engineering students or pas out engineer only.

The college is one of the premier management institutes and is meant only for the engineers. The college has excellent teaching faculties and provides all kinds of facilities to the students. It is one of the kind institutes in India. There are very few institutes in India that gives so much preference to the engineers. By taking only engineer in the institute, the institute gets a chance to deal with people who are all from a technical background but will be moving towards the management arena. This increases the efficiency of the teachers in dealing with the course.

L.M. Thapar School of Management is constituent of the prestigious Thapar University formerly known as Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology. The institute provides MBA programmes for engineers in the fields of Manufacturing and IT Networking. Number of seats in both the programmes is 50. L.M. Thapar School of Management was established in 2007. Being part of Thapar University it is committed to provide quality education in the field of management as well.
