About UBS Chandigarh MBA Executive

University Business School (UBS), Panjab University, offers a two-year MBA for Executives on its Chandigarh campus. It is a regular, on campus course with evening classes, meant only for people who already hold an executive post. There are 30 seats. You get in through the PU-CET PG entrance test, then a group discussion and an interview at UBS. The test decides 85% of your merit. The full fee is INR 2.66 Lakhs for two years. Panjab University holds NAAC A++ and stands #92 in NIRF Management 2025. The school's two-year day MBA batch of 2023 had a median pay of INR 10 LPA. You keep your job while you study, so this batch has no placement figure of its own.

UBS MBA Executive Fees

The full fee is INR 2.66 Lakhs for two years without the form fee, and INR 2.69 Lakhs with the PU-CET PG form fee. The year 1 fee is INR 1.33 Lakhs.

NRI seats	3
Foreign national seats	8

Should you pick MBA Executive at UBS Panjab University?

This course suits people who already work in an executive post near Chandigarh and want an MBA without leaving the job.

Pick it if:

You want to study with other working people: the course has 30 seats, all for people who hold an executive post, so group work draws on real jobs.

You work in a government office or the forces: the rules name All India and State service officers and defence staff in admin posts as eligible.

You worry about the group discussion and interview: each carries 7.5% of merit, so a strong test score does most of the work.

You want a low fee for an MBA: the full fee is INR 2.66 Lakhs over two years, paid once a year.

Skip it if:

You want campus placement to change your job: this course is for people who already work, and the school's pay figures come from its day MBA.

You live far from the Sector 14 campus: classes are held in the evening in Chandigarh, so a long drive after work each day gets hard.

Your employer will not sign a letter: the no objection certificate is a must, and without it you cannot take the seat.

You want to see your test marks before the interview: Panjab University sends the test result to the UBS chairman, not to you.

Counsellor's advice

If you work in the tricity and your employer will sign the no objection letter, apply in May and prepare hard for the test. If you need campus placement to change jobs, pick a two-year day MBA instead.

In short

FMS Delhi costs a little less, but it asks for five years in an executive post. If you have fewer years, take UBS; if you qualify for both, pick the city you work in.

In short

Jamia Millia charges about half the fee and has more seats. If you live and work in Delhi, apply there too; if you work near Chandigarh, UBS is the one you can reach after work.

In short

Punjabi University costs less and has a few more seats at its Mohali centre. If fee is your main worry, apply to both and take whichever seat comes first.

In short

Lucknow University charges more and mixes online classes with campus classes. If you want every class on campus at a lower fee, UBS is the better pick.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
