Dear Aspirant,

Yes, you can become a store manager after doing an MBA in Finance and Marketing. As a store manager, you are responsible for all operational tasks in ensuring the smooth functioning of the store. This includes a lot of coordination between various teams. For instance, you will be required to coordinate with the category managers to ensure the supply of various products, talk to the Human resources to handle the employee availability during various shifts, execute the requirements as detailed by the various departments within the company including marketing and legal. If you are looking for a store manager position, then retail management is the specialization you need.

One of my knowns also completed MBA in Marketing and Finance from Lovely Professional University. Now he is working in Amazon Warehouse as a store manager.

Being an alumnus of LPU I would be sharing the details of an MBA with you.

The Mittal School of Business at LPU is accredited by Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, USA ensuring quality education and industry-experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA.

Placement: Companies like Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, Asian Paints, Bajaj Allianz, CEAT, Rallis India, etc. visit LPU for recruitment purposes.The main thing for placement that I liked there is that LPU provides placement classes to the students from the first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their final year of the program. The highest package offered for the management programme is Rs. 21 LPA.

Scholarships:
LPU provides very good scholarships on the basis of Percentage in Qualifying Exam/ Qualification previous to Eligibility Qualification, LPUNEST, CAT/ MAT/ XAT/ CMAT or NMAT, Financial Aid, Need-Based, Financial Aid for Serving/ Retired Defence/ CAPF/ Para- Military Personnel and their dependents, Financial Aid to Persons with Certain Disabilities.

For more details, you may refer to the LPU website.
I hope this helps
