Hi Sakshi, Being an Education Consultant, Generally I will laugh when I have to answer that how much package I will get, what will the job placements. No one talks about studies or their own skills. I agree institutes are equally responsible to make you skilled and to provide placements. But it is candidates own responsibility also to make himself enough capable. So that an institute can easily provide them not only one in fact more than one job opportunities. Although both the universities are private and in fact SRM is also working very good and making a lot of efforts to grow in terms of Placements, Curriculum, Co-Curriculum and Extra curriculum. SRM is working equally good as LPU is doing since 2 decades. Due to LPU's Dedication and now enough experience, LPU is a step ahead in providing placements and improving Curriculum at regular intervals, I. e. after every 6 months. All the best.

When comparing placements in Computer Science Engineering at Lovely Professional University and SRM Institute of Science and Technology, both universities offer good opportunities for students, but LPU has developed a very strong and large placement ecosystem, especially for CSE students. One of the biggest advantages of LPU is the huge number of companies that participate in campus recruitment every year. Thousands of recruiters visit the campus, giving students multiple chances to appear for interviews and secure job offers in different domains of the technology industry. For CSE students at LPU, placement opportunities are quite impressive. The university has recorded very high packages offered by global technology companies, and many students secure placements in reputed firms such as Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and other multinational companies. The average salary package for CSE students generally falls in a competitive range, while the top performers receive significantly higher offers. A good number of students also get packages above ₹10 LPA, which reflects the strong demand for skilled graduates from the program. Another major advantage is the training and preparation provided by the university. LPU focuses heavily on coding practice, technical workshops, hackathons, internships, industry certifications, and mock interviews. These initiatives help students build practical skills and prepare them for real industry challenges. The curriculum is also designed to cover modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, and Cloud Computing, which increases employability. While SRM also provides good placement opportunities, LPU offers a strong return on investment, particularly for students who receive scholarships. Considering the wide recruiter base, strong placement support, and competitive salary packages, LPU stands as a very promising option for students planning to pursue CSE and build a successful career in the technology sector.

LPU has a collaboration with Google to provide specialisation Android courses to the B.Tech/IT/CSE/Engineering students. LPU provides free training on SAP Business Suite to the students leading them to the SAP Consultant Certification.

LPU students designed and created India's 1st Solar-Powered driverless bus which was featured in various national media and which made a maiden run in the Indian Science Congress 2019 held by LPU, which was inaugurated by The Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi. And many more, with great placement opportunities, there is a very good holistic environment for one to study and get ready for the corporate world while sharpening your skills and knowledge.

Recently in the Amazon placement drive, 15-16 students got a package in the range of 11-16 Lacs and it's a good package, Tanya Arora she got 42 LPA from Microsoft. But at the same point, there are some companies who took the students at the package of 3.5-34.5 Lacs. There will be many placement drives conducted by Tech Mahindra, Samsung, Koni Labs, Hitachi, Honda and many more. It depends on how you perform. Innovative and productive environment, more emphasize on practical sessions with the benefit of having ragging free campus LPU is having experienced, specialised and well qualified faculty members. 70+ faculty / staff members have been from foreign countries, faculty from IIT, IIM and IIIT as we are concerned about the betterment of the students and long term growth of our University.

In general if I say both the university provide placements. I don't know about SRM but in details I can talk about LPU as I have studied in LPU itself and I had the pleasure of acquiring good placement. In short LPU placement process starts as soon as you enter your final year. In order to ensure good placement no. The university passes you through a rigorous training session of PEP that confirms our selection.

Centre for Professional Enhancement focus on holistic growth of students with following objectives: 1. To prepare students for placement and internship. 2.

This is the highest job offer received by engineering fresher in the region for the year 2019. Tanya has been offered the role of Software Engineer at Microsoft India R&D Centre in Hyderabad.
