As per my research being an educational consultant, LPU is the best for Civil engineering. I read in a newspaper that recently Lovely Professional University entered the most prestigious club of top 200 universities in Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2021. The dept. Of Civil Engineering offers very dynamic study content. It not only focuses on teaching concepts of civil engineering but also lays stress on the practical application of the principles and theories. Being more interested in structural engineering I personally found the content of courses like, Design of Structures, Bridge design, Fluid mechanics designed in such an interesting way that you hardly find any other university working on syllabus enhancement to such an extent as LPU does. Very faculty in the civil engineering department is from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, many have got industrial experience as well. Every student has an option of choosing a capstone project in their B.Tech is an integral part of their curriculum. In this project, students pick a live industry problem and work on it. The dept. Of civil engineering has all the required labs with up-to-date machinery and modern equipment. They also have a NABL-accredited lab for mechanical testing of building materials which makes LPU the only private university in India and the first university in Punjab to receive this accreditation. Their curriculum for civil engineering is revised every year by leading professionals in the field of the construction industry The students represent LPU at various national and international level competitions for civil engineering. Their placements are also at par with the demand in the industry. Many construction giants like Linkhouse Buildwell, KEC international, L&T have been vising LPU for placements. They have labs maintained by Bentley which provides training for the latest software which are in demand by the industry. They also teach practical applications of the latest software like Staad Pro v8i, E-tabs, MS Project, Primavera, Auto Cad, Sewer Gems, Plaxis, etc. And one more thing to mention, with over 35k students studying on campus, you can also collaborate with your friends from different disciplines and work on projects. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. I hope this helps Thanks!

As an education consultant, I can assure you that Civil Engineering from LPU will be the best choice ever. I have many friend from LPU who work their and they, And I am in touch with them. They also shared few things about Civil Engineering, let me share with you. So, the following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: - 1. Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also. 2. The capstone project is an integral part of the B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills. 3. There is an internship programme that could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option. 4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepared to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you. 5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives. 6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few. 7. Career-oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. Nonetheless, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is a prerequisite for any Civil Engineer. 8. Every theory course is complemented with relevant lab-based practical work. Some of the labs are based on field testing where experimental work is to be done, e. g. Soil Lab & Surveying Lab. That's it from my side. I hope this will help for more information students can call their toll-free admission helpline 18001024431.

Lovely Professional University is one of the best institutes for engineering in the state of Punjab. So if a degree in B.Tech (Civil engineering) is what you seek, I suggest that you do consider LPU. I have sound reasons to actually make this suggestion. Actually I did MBA from Lovely Professional University but I have one friend who has done B.Tech Civil Engineering From LPU. He told me B.Tech in civil engineering course involves so much more than theoretical know-how. In addition to classroom lectures, students here learn via hands-on experiences which include site visits, lab sessions and so on. PPTs, animations and similar technological techniques are a regular part of classroom teaching too. The course material provided here enables to practice civil engineering using up-to-date techniques, skills, and tools as a result of life-long learning ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. The course benefits the students by giving them an understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities. The Department aims to provide students with a technical foundation incorporated with the industrial need together with the breadth needed in the profession via advanced study or field training, or as a base for other pursuits. In order to get this develop we have timely workshops, and seminars. Coming to faculty, they are one of the best mentors to us & everything here is up to the mark. The faculty is supporting if one is willing to learn. They teach the subjects with their full effort. Writing board, screen-projector, labs are used to teach. The college arranges frequent industry visits. New innovative ideas were framed into working models and were showcased to 10000+ school students. Also, LPU has one of the best educational infrastructures in the nation. The laboratories are designed to enable various assessments like soil testing, cement testing, concrete testing etc. The industry experts are involved deep in development of the design of curriculum to match up the industry expectations. They frequently refurnish what they deliver. Students are placed in companies like Cleanmax Solar, Al Rakha (UAE), Dharam Consulting, Era Infra Engineering Ltd. , KEC International, Simplex, WSP India, XL Dynamics, CVENT, Rishishwar Construction, Premier Developers and Contractors, etc.
