5 years agoHi Narain, In Private educators by BITs, VIT, LPU and Thapar etc. While the rankings and all these things look fancy, we need to SEE if the university has developed the curriculum in consultation with the industry, has cutting edge technology trainings, industry interface, entrepreneurship and community projects, internships, live consultancy and placements!
LPU has excelled in all of these with phenomenal growth and progress !
All the best. -
