In India where the industry-academic schism is a prevalent issue, Parul University (PU), the Vadodara-based educational hub, is known for its industry-ready education. This ears-to-the-ground grooming, which leads to excellent educational and professional outcomes, has placed the university on the map beside the leading names in education in India. One of the leading courses by PU, where the industry immersion is the most pronounced is the MBA, powered by the Faculty of Management.
Gone are the days when MBA is synonymous with engineers and business studies graduates. Now with a booming economy, every industry needs professionals who, along with core domain skills hone a keen sense of business. Thus, to provide keen commercial knowledge around varied industries, comes PU’s one-of-a-kind MBA programme, which has 20 specialisations to attract ambitious folks across diverse backgrounds.
Showcasing a true range and versatility in terms of what is on offer, specialisations in emergent areas of business studies include Agribusiness Management, Information Technology, Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigation, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Digital Marketing and Sales, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Development, Family Managed Business, Pharmaceutical Management, Project Management, Healthcare Management, Public Policy, Retail Management, Tourism & Event Management, and Business Analytics. These new-age topics in business education beckon the brightest in every field to gun for their dream jobs.
Additionally, PU offers equally potent courses on traditional subjects such as Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Operations Management, Banking and Financial Services, and International Trade & Business. However, what sets PU’s Faculty of Management’s approach to business education apart from the host of B-schools that mushroom on the educational landscape every now and then, is the thrust on being abreast with industry trends.
Elaborating on the industry-specific pedagogy of the MBA programmes, Dr. Devanshu Patel, President, Parul University “We at Parul University understand that the business landscape is constantly changing and for that new subjects need to be explored. But a few basics always remain constant. Apart from emphasising the development of capabilities such as analytical and interpersonal skills, we leave no stone unturned to offer a good hands-on feel of the industry. After all, business education, especially MBA, is more than core academics.”
Committed to superlative pedagogic outcomes, the PU has brought together industry experts as well as leading academics to teach and mentor the candidates. With 150+ top educators from IITs, NITs, IISc, and other premier institutions, who boast an extensive research-centric background, Parul University strives to inculcate sought-after qualities such as critical thinking and research skills. Needless to say, these academic abilities, associated with success at the workplace, gear candidates towards rewarding careers.
Moreover, to ensure that students are ready to take up challenging roles right when they graduate, the university collaborates with industry experts to incorporate updated materials and course structures. As a result, the courses offered by the Faculty of Management endeavour to create a synergy between real-time problem-solving as well as academic foundation. At the same time, the 700+ strategic industry partnerships that PU has established over the years, offer a unique window for candidates to participate in various real-world projects, helping them gain expert-supervised practical experience.
Attesting to the success of the collaborations, come the impressive placement figures of the university: the average package stands at 8 LPA while the highest-grossed package is 30 LPA. Further highlighting the industry perception of the cohort, major companies including DMart, Flipkart, Godrej, ICICI Bank, BYJU’S, IndusInd Bank, Adani Gas, Patanjali, Aditya Birla Group, Colgate, Asian Paints, Amul, and Amazon, among others, visit the placement drive.
Similarly, an impressive investment of over 10 crores received for the institute-led start-ups and 125 entrepreneurial projects validate the industry-specific learning at Parul University.

The guidance from experts helps candidates master the current best industry practices.
Finally, one of the most enviable aspects of an MBA at PU is the international exposure that one gets. In this globalising world, international exposure has become the key to success. As a result, the university has forged over 75 international partnerships as well as a robust presence of international students, totalling a jaw-dropping 2000 candidates.
