Question

YogyaaOSharma · Answer

Comparing Lovely Professional University (LPU) and IPU in terms of architecture, LPU is a good and student-focused choice. The B.Arch course in LPU is accredited by the council of architecture (COA) and it is structured to provide a balance between creativity, technical and practically exposed knowledge. Design studios, model making, site visits, live projects, and sustainability are some of the things that the curriculum focuses on allowing students to acquire real architectural skills during the first semesters. LPU has contemporary design studios, software laboratories, workshops and a well-equipped library that complement practical education. Practicing architects have regular guest lectures, internships and collaborations with the industry which are a great exposure to the profession. The university also promotes competitions, exhibitions, and interdisciplinary projects, which assist students to prepare a good portfolio. LPU offers a flexible, industry-oriented and experiential learning environment compared to a more traditional academic one offered by IPU. Altogether, LPU is recommended to the architecture candidates who want to get the modern infrastructure, practical studies, and good career advice.

LPU School of Architecture and Design is among Punjab best colleges and ranked among top ten promising architecture institutes of India by Higher Education Review. In an era of smart cities, sustainable buildings and contemporary interiors, we train our students to become lateral thinkers by focusing on the critical design approach. With exposure to an international environment, access to the latest tools, software, and technology, our students become architects that create buildings and infrastructure that are globally acknowledged. Specific objectives are: The development of an appreciation of the ways in which design ideas and technology can be used to order complexity at all scales from broad strategy through to detail resolution of building envelope/interiors. The development of communication skills through the presentation and discussion of architectural and interior design with peers, the profession, and the community. The development of a coherent set of architectural/interior design values. The design is an essential skill for the practice of architecture/interior, requiring a synthesis of ideas responding to the needs of the client and the community and with an inherent concern for the quality of human living and working environments. About the university, Teachers are very supportive and polite. They are highly experienced and most of them have done PhDs in their specific subject. The faculty is very helping and always available for students. The curriculum is regularly redesigned to meet the demands of the industry and create industry oriented engineers. The faculty uses projectors for better implementation and understanding of the topics, making classrooms interactive. Placements are really very decent in LPU, 500 companies come to the campus and offer more than 5000 jobs. Top companies Amazon Cognizant Tech Mahindra Josh technology Kony labs recruited most of the students. The highest package last year was 20.34 Lacs per annum.
