Heads up: Not AICTE Approved
This MBA is UGC-recognized but lacks AICTE approval. It works for most private-sector paths, but if you’re targeting certain PSUs or specific tech-consulting pipelines, verify whether they require an AICTE stamp.
The verdict
Worth considering
MGU scores big on credibility — NAAC A++, NIRF #37, and a ₹1.5L fee tag that’s genuinely student-friendly. But the 65% placement rate and missing AICTE approval mean you’ll need to self-upskill and network hard to stand out. It’s a solid, budget-conscious choice if you value university reputation over guaranteed campus placement.
