LPU would a wise choice to make here. Placement is exceptionally good here. Around 600 companies visit the campus every year including some of the very big figures like Google, IBM, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, etc. In all of those coming for placements here, around 100 are the ones who also recruit from IITs and NITs. Also, while there are some students who choose to go with higher studies as well, but in all those who are up for the placement drive, maximum or you can almost all of them are placed. It is one such university that prepares its students very well for the placements and helps them with any kind of problem throughout this process. And it is not just the placements that is good here, but all the other aspects as well, which comes to your mind while considering a University, like Campus life, academics, sports, etc. LPU has a beautiful 600-acre campus.

I will share something which I experienced before getting admission in LPU. When I was about to complete my schooling, we (my family) started looking for a good college for myself. This is when one of my family friend told us about Lovely Professional University. Both of their children had graduated from LPU and they had some great things to say about the university. This is when we decided to visit the campus. We had a talk with the staff and faculty to know more about the university. In addition to this, we also had a talk with the students of the university. Here is a list of factors on which we reviewed LPU to decide whether we should go for it or not. The current students of LPU told us that the faculty is very friendly and considerate. Apart from helping the student academically, the highly-experienced faculty works towards the all-round development of the student at LPU. We got to know that the students at LPU get a chance to work in Fortune 500 Companies. They get a chance to work with Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, and many other international companies. LPU has also recorded the highest number of placements in the past years with more and more students getting the chance to work in the top companies of the world. Infrastructure: Another great thing we got to know about LPU was its infrastructure which is actually as good as it is advertised. It offers students the kind of campus life with facilities you won't find in many colleges. From departmental stores to coffee shops, LPU offers an entirely different campus life experience. It has a full fledged mall inside the campus. Another good thing about this university, LPU has food stalls that provide different cuisines, and the south Indian delicacies are really good. For its international students, it offers cuisines, such as African, Bhutanese, etc. Multicultural events: Diversity is something I always appreciate. LPU, to make its national and international students feel at home, organizes events where students give performances related to their culture or organize food stalls of the cuisines of their respective states and countries. LPU recently organized events called One India and One World so as to sensitize the students of LPU about different cultures. LPU takes care of its international students: This one is something I learnt from my sister. LPU helps international students with their visa application and on-boarding process and other pre and post arrival.
