If the priority is industry exposure, large recruiter base, and broader campus ecosystem, Lovely Professional University provides a strong platform for automobile engineering through its mechanical engineering framework, lab infrastructure, industry-linked curriculum, and placement-driven training model; the programme integrates practical components like CAD/CAE tools, manufacturing labs, industrial training, and internships, which are critical in core branches; LPU's scale also brings diversified corporate participation and multidisciplinary exposure, which can benefit students aiming for roles in automotive design, production, or related engineering sectors, though final outcomes depend heavily on hands-on skills, internships, and project work built during the degree.

Hi there, being an alumnus I would like to share some of the crucial points of Automobile Engineering: Automobile Engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with designing, manufacturing, mechanical mechanisms as well operations of automobiles. It is also an introduction to vehicle engineering which includes cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses etc. Eligibility: Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics Mathematics and English or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST&For a candidate, who has not studied English as a subject, the condition of English may be waived off provided the candidate in his qualifying exam has studied in English medium. (5% relaxation to North East states and Sikkim candidates/ Defence Personnel and their Dependents/ Wards of Kashmir Migrants). The chances of you getting placed at a company solely depend upon you and not on anybody else for that matter. There is no set package that you receive after graduating. Job is used to sustain yourself while doing what you love. It isn't like that you provide money to the college to spend 4 years and after that, you get a job. You are getting educated and universities are not some job agencies so stop looking at a degree like that. Anyways, LPU gives great placements to capable students of automobile engineering. PLACEMENTS: The maximum package availed by students at LPU in the Automobile Engineering programme is 10 LPA from THINK AND LEARN, Hettich India, Intellipat. The majority opt for Teaching/Research. Students get internships at Tata Motors Jamshedpur, Century Pulp & paper, Aeolus Aero-Tech Pvt Ltd, Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles, Sonalika Agro Solutions Tractors Ltd, Chopra Industries PVT LTD, Ultratech cement Limited, Shiroki Technico India PVT limited, Imperial Society of innovative engineer, Air India, Kartar Valve PVT LTD, INDO MIM PVT LTD, Geo Chem International Independent Inspection and testing Company, etc.
