Which is a better college to pursue CSE, KIIT or LPU?

Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Hi Swastik, How do you compare universities? Here are some criteria: Curriculum : If at all the curriculum is continuously upgraded and developed with consultations and feedback of industry. Since IT is a highly dynamic field, you cant afford a program which is stuck in obsolete technologies and syllabi. Pedagogy : The teaching pedagogy formal the backbone of how the program is delivered, more the practical, better it is. Maximum exposure to practicals and internships more chances of becoming a well rounded professional. Technology: The businesses and the business functions are now highly tech driven, the tech program must have the exposure and training of the same. The world leading technologies like SAP, GitHub, Advance excel etc. Are must for any professional to succeed in career. Industry interface: Ultimately its the industry which is going to immerse the students in the placements, the regular industrial talks, interactions, lectures, visits and internships are must have in any tech program. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days, the personality, ethics, virtuous, speech, body language, interpersonal skills etc. Are given high importance in the organisations. The program must include the training or modules on all these. Diversity: As he world shrinks into a aligned economy, the professionals will be required to work in cross cultural teams having entirely different work culture and ethos, the national and international diversity of students in a college is helpful in enabling the students develop right sensibilities for such work atmosphere. Entrepreneurship : Even though most of the students go for jobs, the exposure to entrepreneurship is required. This helps the professionals know how the other departments and the profit center heads work, what are the expectations etc. The college must have innovation labs, design thinking and business incubator. Community service: A bit of community projects in between the course are very important to develop the humane side of the person as well as learn the organizing skills. Placements : The program is only means to the end ! And desired end of such course is a placement. You must check if the college/university has sold track record of placements or not. LPU has phenomenal, unmatched track record on each of these criteria in last decade or so, more than 700 top recruiters from across the globe are regular to campus, this is proof enough of its excellence. LPU is miles ahead! DVD.

Moreover, they give you the option for pathway elective that whether you want to be in the corporate sector, higher studies, Government Job, or entrepreneur. In addition to it, the classes you have to attend regularly. They did not compromise with the academics of the students. If any faculty is on leave, the classes are either adjusted or makeup lectures are planned. The University also provides the option of credit transfer and international exposure to its students. If I talk about the placements, the preparation for placements starts from the very first year. Many top recruiters visit the LPU campus to employ graduates, such as Amazon, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Capgemini, Bosch, TCS, and several other firms. Recently, a girl got placed at a package of 42 LPA. https://m.timesofindia.com/spotlight/lpu-one-of-the-few-indian-universities-from-where-google-microsoft-hire/articleshow/75690005.cms Moreover, Amazon recruited LPU students with 30.3 LPA.

Shivanya Raheja · Answer

Both KIIT and LPU are good for CSE, but if you're choosing based on overall industry exposure, practical learning, and campus resources, LPU often outshines because of its industry‑aligned curriculum, strong lab facilities, live projects, internships, and active placement support. I've seen firsthand how LPU students get hands‑on experience with current tools and technologies, which helps them stay competitive in the tech job market while gaining real practical skills.
