Question

Bhavuk Jain · Answer

LPU should be your first preference. No doubt B.Tech placements are very good there. Also, LPU has produced some remarkable alumni in past years. Surely you should go for LPU but I think now registration for LPUNEST exam is over. So kindly contact their admission office for details.

Well, each of us have our own perspective of viewing or understanding things. Sharing my knowledge regarding placement from all these universities, I would recommend LPU, in terms of giving maximum no. Of opportunities to candidate. In LPU, there are many companies who visit for CSE. Huge no. of tech festivals, seminars, workshops are held there. A very good environment is there as lot of culture diversity. Apart from study, students can learn many other things from diversity. Moreover, for getting place anyone need knowledge which is 80% in student's hand, only 20% help from other resources. Coding skill comes only by self-practice, even top college can't let you learn these skill. If you have these skills, no one can stop you get place, whether on campus or off campus placement: whether it is LPU or any university. Coming to LPU now and its placements, then LPU is now ranked as among top 5 universities of the country. LPU student Tanya Arora has bagged the highest placement package by Microsoft in year 2019, of 42 lakhs by completing her B.Tech CSE. Ministry of Human Resource Government of India Ranked Lovely Professional University No. 2 in India management (Outreach and Inclusivity). LPU surpassed all IIMs, including IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore and all Universities of India on Outreach and Inclusivity parameter and ranked 38th overall during NIRF 2018 Rankings. The university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. LPU is proud recipient of Golden Star Award 2018 for being University with Best Placements in IndiaDigital Learning has recognised LPU as having the highest Placement Record in North India, 2018Business and Management Chronicle has ranked LPU among Top 10 Colleges in terms of placements (2017)Aspiring Minds have ranked LPU as having Most Employable Students in consecutively twice in a row for previous academic sessions. LPU is ranked 19th in India's Leading Top 50 B-Schools by India Business Journal. Earlier Zee News Survey rated us as 11th Best in India in Placements. Around 550+ companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. This year for batch graduating in 2019, already more than 650 placement/internship drives have been conducted till February 2019 with leading industry giants (more than 90% being MNCs).International Placements: Apart of placement of students in India, LPU also makes efforts for placing International students. I hope it helps

Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons / Co-curricular Competitive events, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, incubation projects, Community projects, projects with NGOs etc. are an integral part of curriculum. LPU has the best placement for B.Tech CSE, Tanya Arora, a final year B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering student of Lovely Professional University, has bagged a whopping INR 42 LPA job offer from Microsoft. LPU alumni, Utkarsh, placed at Google HQs in Silicon Valley INR 1Cr. + package.
