    Dear Aashish, Both LPU and Thapar are good universities and doing well on their own. Being alumni of LPU, I am sharing the details of the B.Tech programme with you. LPU offers B.Tech in various programmes such as CSE, EE, ECE, ME, CE, Automobile, Chemical, Aerospace, Biotechnology, etc. I recommended my cousin to do B.Tech from LPU itself. Good Placement: Every year more than 500+ companies including national and multinational companies visit LPU for placement. A few of them are Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, etc. In which they are placed. The maximum package available for the Engineering programme is 42 LPA till now. Scholarships: LPU prov

    In my opinion, LPU is lower to the Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology. The instructors and staff at the institute are a first-rate group with a wealth of expertise in their respective fields. For the past six years, they have consistently placed students above 90%. The highest placing package for 2020 was 43 Lacs.
    Additionally, TI provides 14 crores worth of scholarships.

    Hello, How do you compare universities? Here are some criteria:
    Curriculum: The curriculum is continuously upgraded and developed with consultations and feedback from the industry. Since IT/CSE is a highly dynamic field, you can't afford a programme that is stuck in obsolete technologies and syllabi. Technology: The businesses and the business functions are now high tech-driven; the tech programme must have the exposure and training. The world-leading technologies like SAP, GitHub, Advance excel, etc. Are a must for any professional to succeed in a career. Industry interface: Ultimately, it's the industry that will immerse the students

    Both options are doing good but as per my experience LPU is an outstanding place to pursue your studies. I have experienced in LPU as a student and I learned plenty of things during my graduation. LPU provides the beautiful infrastructure and all required resources to students and staff. I will highly recommended that if you really want to make your career with good level of education then you should go for LPU. When I was seeking college for admission for my graduation, I was quite confused. But after a long comparison with all relevant facts and figures I joined LPU and now I am an alumni of LPU and Decision for LPU was best decision

    I think you should go for Thapar University for B.Tech because:-
    Thapar University is ranked amongst the top 10 universities in terms of placements all over India, as per the survey conducted by India Today & GHRDC. The university is among the leading privately managed engineering institutions of the country. National Assessment and Accreditation Council, an autonomous body funded by the UGC, has accredited Thapar University with 'A Grade'.

    Both are good academic institute but when it comes to Engineering programmes, LPU is the best option. I have never visited any place but on the basis of feedback of Alumni I want to highlight few points:
    1. LPU is recognised by the University Grant Commission (UGC), the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and the Council of Architecture (COA) and approved by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). It is also a member of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Internationally, LPU is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business School and Programs (ACBSP) and a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (
