Yash Gupta · Answer

Well, that depends! Each university has its pros and cons but in this case I would suggest you to go for LPU Why? Because one thing we should keep in mind before taking admission for any course, is that the University we are choosing must provide us deep and practical knowledge of core subjects, must adopt for new technologies faster and the curriculum should be revised regularly to meet the company standard, the University environment. And then the placements also plays a very vital role in that. Keeping all these points in mind, I would say that LPU would be the best choice No doubt LPU adopts new technologies faster than anyone, they update their curriculum even after each semester by taking feedback from the students and also to meet the latest standards. LPU focuses on practical knowledge a lot, they have high tech labs and dedicated MAC lab for iOS development, each core subject has a different practical subject for it. They give you very good amount of training before you go into campus placements. Try not to miss those classes they will help you in getting better placements after all, all we need is a decent place with good exposure. Certifications from industries, Hackathons and workshops, Guest lectures, Regular educational trips, Real life live projects, Community projects etc. All are essential and integral part of the curriculum. Besides core curricula you'll also get subjects like communication, verbal, analytical skills and soft skills to improve personality and employability and be more productive. Also in today generation knowledge and education is not only based on textbooks but also on the outside world, thinking out of the box and overall learning that's why LPU offers their students to participate in lot of activities and events, the environment of LPU is very good and the academics tasks of LPU are so well planned that even in a course like Engineering you'll be able to manage time for exploring other things. You'll get many opportunities like coding events, hackathons and a lot more in LPU so that you can improve your skills, You will be able to achieve various certifications, which will help you in getting better placements.

Infrastructure: The university is spread over 600 acres which provide each and every facility to their students inside the campus. Well, considering education, well-equipped labs are designed with the experienced faculty and the lab assistants that make you excel in the study. The faculty members are the student-friendly that you won't regret study at the university. There are CCTV cameras installed all around the campus. 2. Placements: LPU has excelled in the placement records as students are trained with the professional enhancement programme classes, where they teach and educate you about the interview skills and etiquettes. Moreover, the university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. 3. Faculty: Every semester, the syllabus is updated. The faculty members are available all the time of the week so that the student can approach any time of the week. We have lots of experienced faculty members specialised in the certain fields that can help you boost the knowledge, help build up your projects, guide you in your pace of life, any personal or educational issues, etc. 4. Diversity: The University has the most diverse student population. Students from all across the world live in the hostel, which comes the closest to being 'a home away from home'. The mixture of races and religions helps to build a decent environment. It's very exciting because you'll get a chance to interact with people from different nationalities, cultures and different backgrounds. 5. Campus Life: At the end of a tiring day or week, everyone expects entertainment and refreshing ways to uplift their daily boring schedule. But here in LPU, they conduct so many big events where they call popular celebrities and help their students to feel more alive and energetic, which make life in LPU more fun. Hope it helps.
