Hello Munees, I have done my Graduation from LPU and there were a lot of projects which I have done with B.Arch students even we have managed lots of events together and as per their feedback and experience, LPU is one of the best places for B.Arch. Lpu is better in all the aspects like teaching, curriculum, infrastructure, experience, placements etc. The architecture programme of lpu is approved by the agency of COA. Lpu provides the best academic exposure to it's students. The world-class infrastructure is congenial for the study of architecture. Many workshops and seminars are conducted by industry experts as LPU believes in experiential learning. Students are exposed to real site situations through in-house and external visits for visual orientation. Emphasis is given on the Entrepreneurship projects/Consultancy projects which give a cutting edge to the students of the University. So, I can definitely say that lpu provides a better learning experience and opportunities.
