    If you want a value for money option with solid track record of placements, LPU might just be right for you. I'll put the things point by point.
    1. Placements: LPU's placement track record is unmatched, with over 600 companies coming to campus for recruitment and offering some not only great salaries but also good job roles. More than 60 of these offer above 10 lacs per annum and about 100 are from fortune 500 club.
    2. Fee: The fee for any programme at LPU depends on what scholarship are you able to secure. These scholarships are in various categories and criteria I. e sports, defense, on basis of performance in last two qualifications

    Hello!
    As per my experience I would suggest you LPU. Lovely Professional University (LPU) is one such university that is reputed in the field of education and can easily be your first choice to pursue an engineering degree. One of the best things about LPU is the placement opportunities it provides to its students. If you are looking for the budgeted engineering option, I would blindly say gor for LPU. LPU offers the chance to meritorious students to study at the university and not let financial difficulties hold them back. For this, LPU conducts a scholarship test called the LPU NEST test at the time of admissions. A candidate gets a

    IPU colleges are good and fall under the criteria you mentioned but for mechanical you have to hunt for placements by yourself as college doesn't support much for core branches most students get placed in IT companies.

I've had a really good experience with the mechanical engineering faculty at Chandigarh University. Most of them are PhD holders, so you can tell they know their subject inside out. What I like is that they're not just teaching from books—they share real-world examples, guide us in labs, and help with projects. The faculty is approachable, so if you ever get stuck on something, you can just ask, and they'll explain patiently. They also encourage students to explore electives like Thermal & Energy Engineering, Industrial Manufacturing, or Design & Robotics, and help you pick what suits your career goals.

Yes, Chandigarh University is a good choice for B.E. in Mechanical Engineering. What I really like about the programme is the variety of specializations you can pick, like Thermal & Energy, Industrial Manufacturing & Management, or Automation & Robotics. The labs are another strong point from 3D printing and advanced welding labs to industry-backed centres by Honda, Mahindra, Hyundai, and MG Motors. These collaborations give you hands-on exposure that feels very close to real-world industry work. On top of that, the department is both ABET and NBA accredited, which adds global recognition.
