B.Tech CSE in itself is a great program at LPU, Hons program in same is even better, but it is offered to a very select few candidates.

Hello Poonam, Nowadays computer science engineering is a great setback for the other branches of engineering or you can say like this, that this decade was completely dedicated to the computer science engineering. So B.Tech honours in computer science engineering is really a worth to pursue. So go ahead with your choice, don't worry. Now coming to the LPU, if you are qualifying an eligibility criteria which is like this, candidate must have 60% marks in 12th class. (59.9% will not be rounded off as considered to be a 60%). One must have to qualify the entrance exam LPU NEST also. SO, Poonam, if you are satisfying and eligibility criteria you can take admission and I saw you if you had a good percentage in 10th class are you are having good percentage in 12th class you will get an ample scholarship and the scholarship will continue till your last semester. That means once the scholarship will be conferred to you in first semester it will remain with you till last semester until unless you will not involved in any of the criminal act. LPU is putting more efforts to make Industry ready product. First of all the difference is in the specializations. LPU offers large number of industry specific specializations, highly coveted Computer Science Engineering along with the function specific ones, while you can easily count the total number of classes in NIT's. Course curriculum : While NIT's are carrying legacy only in regards Curriculum, LPU has developed and upgraded its curriculum continuously with feedback and consultations with Industry tycoons. Three striking features of LPU are Technology training's like SAP, Github, advance excel etc. , which give a clear edge to students in employability. Diversity: LPU attracts talent from all over India as well as about 70 countries across the globe. This gives a unique global perspective, social sensibilities and networking skills. Professional enhancement: LPU has a dedicated department which works in whole course duration to ensure the holistic development, soft skills, interpersonal skills, social etiquette etc. Lets SEE the placement scenario. While both boast of good placement, it is LPU which has clearer edge as more than 600 companies including large number of blue chip firms are regular recruiters from campus. I hope this would help you

Hi Hons. Programmes are more rigrous natured programmes at LPU. Hons. programmes are more specialized as compared to General degree programmes. Different universities have different models of giving Hons. Programmes. We at LPU offer one extra course per term in Hons programmes as compared to regular ones. Highlights of the additional Courses 1.In LPU a mix of innovative and creative courses would be offered to increase the knowledge and hone the technical skills of the hons. students.Practical/ workshops, technical and entrepreneurial projects as well as courses with exposure to cutting edge technologies would be offered in a special way to honors students. Where ever there are limited seats in these electives, the hons. students will be allotted a special quota or preference may be given in choosing their electives. 2. Added to this, well-equipped nine story library and also a library each in various blocks. 3. Exposure of the students to the world market and a wide platform for the student to deal with the world level activities is a must. In my opinion LPU B.Tech CSE is the best branch going right now for many reasons. 4. LPU offers a complete package of quality teaching, intuitive learning aided with hands on practical training. It also offers good scholarship slabs based on various categories. It has also started the covid scholarship to aid education at such grim times. 5. The updated labs and the expertise of the faculty have given good results that today LPU is a name to reckon. 6. If the talk is about placements, again .LPU has been awarded the National Employ-ability 2020 award for best placements as the top MNCs have recruited the students of LPU for many enviable positions. BTEch CSE student has bagged a 42 LPA from Microsoft. 7. The number of companies visiting LPU are 700+ which select students for strategic positions, 8. The joint campus placements are with about 900 companies and ample opportunities for full time internships and on-the-Job training in reputed companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Capgemini would definitely leave LPU as a good choice. 9. NIRF ranking LPU received recently is also quite good: Overall 99 University 78 Engineering 87 Pharmacy 29 Management 49 All such reasons would entice me for LPU.Seats are filling up fast due to online admissions so be fast to grab your seat. Good Luck!!

Please understand the following differences between B.Tech (Hons.) and simple B.Tech. 1) A mix of innovative and creative courses would be offered to increase the knowledge and hone the technical skills of the hons. students. 2) Eligibility Criteria is stringent. Special Quota would be allotted or preference would be given to Hons. students in the following: 1. In selection of Residential facility from the second year onwards. 2. In selection of Open Elective / Social Science Elective 3. In Students exchange / Foreign Scholarships / visits with the foreign universities whenever offered. 4. More opportunities for technical training (on self-financing basis – over and above the fee) will be provided for hons. students such as special counseling and assistance for international exposure assignments/projects, industrial exposure and in-house research projects. 5. Although major electives and department elective / specialization baskets will be same for both regular and Honors. Where ever there are limited seats in these electives, the hons. students will be allotted a special quota or preference may be given in choosing their electives. 6. Library: a. Hons. student would be given priority in booking of cubicles in the library (whenever the same are provided). b. Higher number of books issued for a longer period of time (5 books issued for a period of 15 days) as compared to students of other programmes (3 books for 1 week).

Well, the heights gained by the Lovely Group bear testimony to his tireless efforts, indomitable will, and a strong sense of commitment to his ideals and goals. LPU is worth Joining. LPU has been ranked 78th amongst all government and private universities by NIRF ranking released by MHRD, Government of India. Provide scholarship Benefit up to Rs. 4.9 Lac per student based on different categories that make Quality Education more available to middle-class students. As far as I know recently my friend passed out from LPU and she explained how well LPU infrastructure, academic excellence, holistic development, practical exposure, study abroad option, and many more facilities help her to outgrow in the crowd of LPU to reach her desired goal. I think LPU will be best to join for the candidates who believe in diversity, cultural ethics, hand on exposure,field-specific, willing to learn about the latest market demands to meet, and most importantly who want in campus placements highest packages. In my opinion both of the courses are good you can go for any one .But in case of B.tech cse hons you have to put extra afforts for your studies as one subject extra student need to learn about, in this programme in every semester.On other hand in general B.tech CSE programme core subjects as basics you will study.Additional innovative honors electives and projects in the contemporary areas like Networking, Cloud Computing etc. provide an edge over a regular B.Tech. The practical exposure instills confidence essential for crafting entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Take your decision wisely if you can take study load and expecting additional facilties in terms of issuing books from library and so more then only go for hons programme. Best of Luck!
