I want to take admission in LPU for civil engineering? Is it worth to do the same?

Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Well, I can give you the answer of this question based on the feedback received from my brother is currently studying Civil Engineering at LPU. Although I have completed MBA from this University but I had friends from Civil engineering department also. So, following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: - 1. Most of the faculty staff is from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also. 2. The capstone project is an integral part of B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills. 3. There is an internship programme which could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option. 4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepare to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you. 5. About placements-The range can be between 3 Lacs- 6 Lacs. It depends upon the type of company visited and the skills of the students which get placed. Good core companies visit LPU campus for Civil engineering placements, e. g, Simplex Infrastructure, Dharma Consulting, L & T, WSP, Era Infrastructure, etc. Hope this will help you.

Rajdeep Sharma · Answer

HI Xeeshan, first of all let me tell you, Civil engineers generally work in a variety of locations and conditions. It is common for them to split their time between working in an office and working outdoors at construction sites so that they can monitor operations or solve problems onsite. Now to work in multilingual environment, there is a high requirement of exposure to both National & International platform at the time of your pursuance of course itself. So in my opinion, it's better to grab the opportunity of International Exposure provided by the University. I am not sure about the offerings of other Universities, but being alumni of Lovely Professional University, I must assure you about such offerings of LPU itself. LPU's International transfer option allows students to pursue the terminal semester/year of their degree and further receive the final Degree Certificate from the foreign partner university only.
