How are the placements in CS in LPU as compared to CSE in SRM?

Question

Arya Sharma · Answer

For CSE, LPU is often preferred by many because of the number of companies visiting and the overall placement exposure it offers compared to SRM. From what I've seen, LPU has a wide range of recruiters, so there are usually more chances during placements. SRM, especially the main campus, also has good placements. Personally, it feels like both colleges provide opportunities, but LPU gives a bit more flexibility and chances because of the scale. At the same time, results in either place still depend a lot on skills and preparation.

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.

At LPU, placements in CS/CSE are large in scale; many IT and service-based companies visit, along with some product-based firms and startups. The highest packages can be impressive for top performers, but because the intake is very high, competition is intense and the overall average package remains moderate (typically mid-range). Outcomes vary a lot depending on individual skills in DSA, development, internships, and interview preparation. At SRM (especially the main campus), the brand value and peer competition are generally considered. CSE placements tend to be more consistent in terms of average package. Overall, LPU offers high placement volume and broad exposure.

I'm not familiar with SRM, but as an LPU alum, I'd want to offer LPU's placement information. LPU is a good place to look for recruits. Cognizant has recruited 1900+ students from the LPU campus over the previous three years and has been named India's premier talent company Aspiring Minds' Most Employable Students two years in a row. There are few colleges in the south that can claim of such impressive records. A division called the Division of Career Services oversees placements at LPU. This group assists students in gaining relevant work experience to supplement their education and build necessary skills and expertise. LPU has one of the best placement histories in India, which is why students flock to the university to get placed. LPU alumni are working for prominent brands like as Google and Microsoft, with salaries of 1 crore and above. Every year, over 450 companies visit to LPU to recruit students, with MNCs accounting for 90% of the total. Furthermore, there are approximately 800 organisations that hire from IITs and NITs. I hope this beneficial!

As a general rule for placements, a lot more will depend upon your own hard work, communication & presentation skills and overall preparation. This would be true for any university you enroll in. Actually Salary package depends on factors like specialisation, Institute, Company offering job, students academic performance, work experience etc. As a general rule for placements, a lot more will depend upon your own hard work, communication & presentation skills and overall preparation. This would be true for any university you enroll in. Also, in my view, I think you should not worry about the placements. If you work hard in the course and learn as much as you can, any company visiting the campus would be happy to hire you. However, you must not neglect polishing your communication skills as well, because companies will check that in their interviews. LPU provides plenty of opportunities to its students to take part in events, competitions, fests in order to let them grow their personality and give them a chance to polish their skills.
