LPU boasts a the highest package of ₹3 Crore (international) and around ₹10 LPA average for top students, with recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Infosys. CU offers a slightly lower the highest package of ₹1.7 Crore, but has a higher placement rate of 97% and strong industry ties with companies like Microsoft, IBM, and SAP Labs.

Chandigarh University is honestly a greatpick for CSE. I love how the campus atmosphere is really energetic and tech-focused, plus they offer so many specializations like AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Cybersecurity. A huge bonus is their tie-ups with top companies like IBM and Microsoft, which means you get to work on real-world projects and learn directly from industry experts.

One thing that really stands out is the placement track record—lots of students have bagged roles at places like Amazon and Deloitte, and some even got international offers! Also, CU recently ranked 20th among all universities in India in the NIRF 20

Dear Ashish Arya, I would recommend LPU to pursue the CSE programme over Chandigarh University in terms of quality education and placements. LPU offers various degree programmes in the CSE domain such as Diploma, B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D. I did MBA from LPU and one of my friend's younger brothers is also studying over there in B.Tech CSE. There are a few parameters I would like to share with you why CSE is good at LPU. Great Placement: LPU has a good placement record for CSE students. Every year more than 500+ companies including national and multinational companies visit LPU for placement. A few of them are Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, etc. In which they are placed. The maximum package availed for CSE is 42 LPA. PEP Classes- LPU provides placement classes to all the students from the very first year who opt for the placement. These classes help students for placements so that they can get selected in the pre-final year because the companies will start visiting for the recruitment of students from a pre-final year. Some of the students go for internships also in their final year. The Knowledge Review has rated LPU as the 10th best Training & Placement Institution in India. Industry Tie-ups: B.Tech in CSE has tie-ups with industries such as IBM, Intel, Xebia, Upgrade. Comptia, Transorg, Geeksforgeeks, etc. That help students to explore themselves more in their field. Scholarships: LPU provides scholarships to bright students every year worth crore rupees to all the students based on their academics, extracurricular activities, and other factors. Specializations Offered: CSE students get many specializations while studying CSE to enhance their knowledge according to their interests such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Data Science, etc. LPU also offers B.Tech (Hons. ). In the CSE programme. Apart from this, many opportunities and scholarships are there in LPU while studying for bright students in academics and extracurricular activities. I hope this helps
Thanks.

Both the universities are fine at their own pace but I would like to share my thoughts on LPU. An Engineering programme which seamlessly articulates the concepts from basic Science to technology with relevant practice through lab and projects for building the problem solving skills, keeping industry requirements in place. Students will develop competence in areas like programming, Database Management Systems, Networks and Security, Operating Systems, Cloud Computing etc. B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering is related with algorithms, computation, programming languages, programme design, computer hardware, computer software etc. It is a comprehensive course in computer systems and applications. The students who pursue the course of Computer Science Engineering are taught about design, the implementation as well as management of computer software and hardware. Eligibility Details :Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics Mathematics and English or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPU NEST. For a candidate, who has not studied English as a subject, the condition of English may be waived off provided the candidate in his qualifying exam has studied in English medium. (5% relaxation to North East states and Sikkim candidates/ Defence Personnel and their Dependents/ Wards of Kashmir Migrants).
1 Placements :Every year more than 500+ companies including national and multinational companies visit LPU for placement. A few of them are Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, etc. In which are placed. The maximum package availed for CSE is 42 lacs. Per annum by Microsoft in 2020. DURING PANDEMIC THE PLACEMENT 2020-2021
Work India has offered 35 Lacs Per annum (CSE)
2. Accreditation : Every year, more than 30,000 students graduate from LPU across all disciplines. Accredited by most technical bodies such as UGC, NCTE, PCI, IAP, COA, BCI, and AIU, LPU has covered massive ground since being founded back in 2005. Already amongst the top private colleges students keep on their checklist, the potential for LPU to grow further seems apparent.
3. Faculty: LPU composed of the best faculty members from IIM, IITs and the other best B schools. It has produced perfectly efficient computer engineers in the past couple of years who have eventually landed salary packages as high as 42 LPA!
