Hi, Choosing a university is a big choice and a very difficult task, as our career depends upon that. I would highly recommend LPU because of the following reasons. 1. Infrastructure: The University is spread over 600 acres which provide each and every facility to its students inside the campus. Well, considering education, well-equipped labs are designed with qualified faculty and lab assistants that make you excel in the study. 2. 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. LPU has lots of experienced faculty members specialised in 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. 3. Diversity: The University with 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 will get a chance to interact with people from different nationalities, cultures, and different backgrounds. 4. Campus Life: At the end of a tiring day or week, everyone expects Entertainment and refreshing ways to uplift their daily boring schedule.

Rahul Gupta · Answer

The answer to your question is straight and simple. Today, most of the companies are looking for students who are ready to take on the challenges of the industry. Apart from modern infrastructure and world-class facilities, UPES is the only university in the country that offers specialized courses. It is the only university in India to offer the largest choice of 110+ specialization-focused undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Not just this, UPES is the first Indian university to be awarded QS Five Stars Global Rating for Employability. Most of the courses are designed keeping in mind the demand of the industry and are in partnership with big brands like IBM and XEBIA. So, if you wish to give your career the right edge, you must go for UPES and not LPU. Trust me; you will not regret taking my advice and getting admission in UPES.
