N Pathania · Answer

Hi, LPU is the best. 1) The faculty and the infrastructure and other facilities are excellent. 2) The placements are 100% and the preparation for the same starts from the very first year. Recently, a girl got placed at a package of 42 LPA. Moreover, Amazon recruited LPU students with 30.3 LPA. More than 650 companies visit LPU every year for recruitment with an average package of 6-10 LPA. 3)They give you the option to choose your pathway elective as well that whether you want a corporate Job or Research or Government Job or you want to be an entrepreneur. 4) There is more than twelve Center of Excellence established by reputable companies like Automation Anyware, Texas Instruments, CISCO, SAP, Cadence, etc. 5) There is an innovation studio in LPU where students can work on their ideas. Moreover, in 2019, when the Indian Science Congress held in LPU, LPU Students also design Solar-powered Driverless Bus to ferry PM Modi to Indian Science Congress 2019 in this studio. 6) Last but not the least, the students told me that LPU has his own space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO. So with all these opportunities one you definitely pursue B.Tech from LPU. Thanks.

Arshia Singh · Answer

For pursuing B.E./B.Tech, both LPU and GITAM University are established private universities, but they differ in scale and exposure. GITAM University has a relatively more traditional academic setup and is often preferred in South India. Class sizes can be comparatively controlled, and the environment feels more structured. LPU, on the other hand, offers a larger campus ecosystem, wider branch options, and broader industry exposure activities. The intake is bigger, which means competition is higher, but it also brings more companies visiting for placements overall. Infrastructure, labs, and student activities are generally more extensive at LPU due to its scale.

Om Khurd · Answer

If you are choosing between Lovely Professional University (LPU) and GITAM University for BE, then overall GITAM University is generally considered better in terms of academic reputation, campus environment, and relatively consistent placement quality, especially for core engineering branches.
