I would suggest Chandigarh University over Lovely Professional University since it is one of the best universities in India with top rankings and national and international honors. It also boasts one of the greatest placement histories in north India, with one of the top infrastructure and placements. However, it is suggested that certain other colleges be considered that are likewise committed to providing high-quality education.
