Getting admission to the MBA programme of IIM Lucknow is comparatively more difficult than getting admission in MIT-WPU .
However, given below are some of the points of differentiation between MIT-WPU and IIM Lucknow based on which you can make a decision:
You might consider other factors as well according to your wish. But the conclusion is that IIM Lucknow is better option than MIT-WPU .
