Dear Shilpi, I have heard a lot about LPU's placements. They are offering wonderful placements with good packages to their students. 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. The university sees to this that the students are able to do well in placement drives for which it provides extra inputs to the students. As is the tagline of the university "Transforming Education" so they really have transformed it by offering scholarships to meritorious students thereby making quality education affordable to all. So, I feel you should give a careful thought before deciding and then decide upon this that which university you would join. Check website for more details. Good luck.

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.

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.

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.

Aravinth Rangarajan · Answer

SASTRA ranks around 32nd as per NIRF ranking and tops the universities that you have mentioned. Having said that, SASTRA is the best in terms of placement with over 700 companies visiting every year.
