GNDU and LPU are good public and private universities in India with a good ranking in the education sector. Coming to the programmes offered, I am not much aware of the ECE programme at GNDU but being alumni of LPU I can say that both ECE and CSE are good at LPU with good placements. The highest package availed for CSE is 42 LPA. A few of them are Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, etc. In which they are placed. The highest package offered for the ECE programme at LPU is 31 LPA and the average package is 5.1 LPA. A few of them are BOSCH, Microsoft, Code Nation, Adobe, etc. In which students of EEE/ECE are placed. All faculty members are well qualified from IITs, NITs, and top-ranked universities all over the world.

Lovely Professional University one of the top class Universities that offers B.Tech in various programs such as CSE, EE, ECE, ME, CE, Automobile, Chemical, Aerospace, Biotechnology, etc. Some of the major points one must consider while looking to pursue the B.Tech CSE Course is as follows: 1.
