SRM-Chennai is a better option in regards to academics and placements as compared to LPU. -
SRM Chennai would be a better choice in terms of placements for B.Tech in CSE. -
Hi Dear,
Obviously, SRM-Chennai is super college than the LPU. I think, you should go for the SRM-Chennai, it is superb in placement, faculty, area, study, extra activity, but LPU is not as good as SRM, as you also know that literacy rate of south is more than any other state, so I think I can go to SRM. Also, the minimum placement of SRM is INR. 4 Lacs, & average is INR. 9 Lacs, & maximum is INR. 55 Lacs, but LPU does not give super package, it's minimum package is INR. 2.5 Lacs, average INR. 4 Lacs, maximum is INR. 25 Lacs. -
Both are good and demand that they give better placement but my personal opinion is SRM University is better than Lovely Professional University. -

6 years agoHi Rakshit,
I would suggest you to go with SRM Chennai. It is a good college and if you are considering you take CSE as branch, then surely it will provide you a good placement and good overall development. -
In Chennai, for CSE, SRM University, Kattankulathur campus is the best option.

SRM Chennai could provide you better placement than LPU.

Both the colleges are good but somehow SRM-Chennai is better than LPU. But it is more costly than LPU. Getting a scholarship in LPU is easy than SRM and SRM is far away in the South, so you will face some problems too. It's up to you if you can afford SRM then go for it, otherwise, LPU is the other best option.
