The university has been ranked really high by many external agencies. Apart from the rankings and placements, the university is having very good infrastructure and highly qualified faculty.

All these are good colleges in India for engineering. LPU is the best option in comparison to Banasthali and SASTRA University. LPU has a very good international collaboration and labs inside the campus and other things too.

Ankita Sharma · Answer

When comparing placements for B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), institutions like Lovely Professional University, Banasthali Vidyapith, and SASTRA University each have their own strengths. However, Lovely Professional University is often considered a competitive option due to its large recruiter base, industry-oriented curriculum, and strong focus on skill development. Students from ECE, including those admitted through, receive exposure to communication technologies, embedded systems, and emerging electronics domains, which enhances placement opportunities. With your LPUNEST rank of 3592, you may also be eligible for certain scholarship benefits, depending on the applicable criteria. In the B.Tech ECE pathway, diploma holders can directly join the second year and still benefit from placement support, internships, and industry projects. Overall, LPU provides structured placement assistance, diverse recruiter participation, and practical learning opportunities that help ECE students build strong career prospects.

Sampreet Kaur · Answer

All three universities LPU, Banasthali and SASTRA are fine in their own way, but if you pay more emphasis on placements, I will recommend LPU as the better option. Placement opportunities in LPU are quite extensive because many of the top companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro and many others visit the campus every year. The university also has excellent industry connections, skill development activities, internships, and training sessions that assist students in preparing for interviews. The placement record of students being placed in top MNCs with high packages is highly impressive. Even students belonging to other streams receive proper exposure in terms of internships and placements. Besides placements, the university life, infrastructure, and state-of-the-art facilities also contribute to overall growth. Your LPU-NEST ranking also provides you with a good opportunity to access scholarships. So, if you are looking for a campus with good placement guidance and overall growth, LPU can be a very good choice.

Lovely Professional University (LPU) has a strong placement ecosystem; in 2025, more than 2,000 recruiters participated, and the graduating class received over 6,000 job offers. The top local deal was around INR 63 LPA, while the largest foreign package surpassed INR 3 crore. For the top 25% of students, the average pay was INR 11 LPA. A further indication of the trust that top-tier companies have in LPU is the fact that more than 400 companies hire from IITs, IIMs, and NITs. Students emphasise the university's teaching strength, industry ties, and infrastructure, saying that LPU has one of India's top placement histories, with alumni packages of at least one crore.

Niharika Singh · Answer

HI, Engineering is one of the best programmes that LPU offers, and it is worth joining LPU for B.Tech (ECE). I will highlight some of the features : 1) The faculty, the infrastructure, and other facilities are excellent. 2) The placements are 100%, and the preparation begins from the very first year. 3) More than twelve Center of Excellence established by reputable companies like Automation Anyware, Texas Instruments, CISCO, SAP, Cadence, etc. 4) There is an innovation studio in LPU where students can work on their ideas. Moreover, in 2019, when the Indian Science Congress was held in LPU, LPU Students also design Solar-powered Driverless Bus to ferry PM Modi to Indian Science Congress 2019 in this studio. Prabin Kumar Das, a B.Tech student (Electronics Communication and Engineering) at Lovely Professional University, Punjab, and his professors, has developed a KAWACH to promote safe social distancing. 5) Last but not least, LPU has its space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on a satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO. Thanks

Manish Motwani · Answer

In terms of infrastructure and exposure, LPU is better. Though, Banasthali is one of the few universities meant specially for women and has a decent culture and environment. Academics are though very average but still I would suggest to go with your comforts. At LPU, the environment is open and academics are great. Overall, the order is LPU > Banasthali and then Sastra University.
