LPU surpasses Chitkara in all aspects whether international exposure, placement opportunities, curriculum, faculty. LPU will always be best! LPU has earned many affiliations, recognitions and accreditation is amongst the few of the top private universities. So, as per my opinion, you should go for LPU to pursue your higher studies.

LPU is a better option than Chitkara. LPU is a well renowned private university in India with 30K+ students all across the world and with 4000 experienced faculty members and staff members. There are more than 200 programmes to choose and with a great infrastructure LPU provides all the facilities within the campus itself.

So, I would suggest you to choose LPU to pursue your higher studies.

Does LPU give scholarships to students?

Mansi

LPU does provide scholarships, and to be honest, that's one of the positive aspects of the university. Many students end up receiving some kind of fee assistance because they have a variety of scholarship alternatives depending on LPUNEST performance, academic background, sports, cultural accomplishments, and even unique categories. Many of my classmates received scholarships at the time of entry, and some went on to receive performance-based incentives in the future. In general, LPU seeks to increase access to high-quality education by rewarding students who demonstrate academic or other aptitude.

The campus is frequently visited by major tech companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, TCS, Infosys, and Wipro.
