Hi, B.Tech CSE is not an ordinary programme. It requires a lot and lots of infrastructure and industry input to run successfully. Since the speed of changes in technology is breakneck, the universities need to be highly dynamic in nature to adjust their curriculum as per requirements almost continuously. There is only a private university that can say that it has excelled in curriculum development, industry interface, diversity, professional enhancement, community development exposure, entrepreneurship exposure, technology training, infrastructure, and teaching pedagogy, and it is LPU. More than 700 faculty members are PhDs and Postdoctoral, and they provide exposure to students, which is unmatched. Coming to placement, the stellar record of LPU in placements is unmatched because of its efforts on curriculum development and delivery, industry interface, professional enhancement, and diversity of students, over 600 companies visit the campus for recruitment every year. None of the private universities can match LPU in any of the parameters!
