Which is a better option among LPU and Manipal University?

According to my 16 years of experience in education the quality of education and placements of the university are the key parameters of any organisation. LPU is renowned private university with more than 30,000 students and experienced faculty from various institutes. LPU has an edge in terms of curriculum, exposures, and placements which makes it as Best University in North India. Keeping in view, the quality education at affordable pricing, LPU offers scholarships for various programs. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible students to secure good placement. The university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. Several big brands of the industry have visited LPU campus during academic sessions. Students are also provided with on job trainings, industrial exposures inculcating in them modern management skills. More than 700 companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. The astonishing companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Samsung, HDFC bank, Colgate, and many more visit every year for on campus drives and hire many students. The experienced staff which is deputed to teach and guide is experienced one and meets the norms of UGC. The pedagogy which is undertaken to teach students is always updated with new initiatives like flip classroom, more discussions etc. This is a place where a student develops confidence and takes initiatives, develops entrepreneurial abilities and learn to survive in challenging conditions. The connect between the students and faculty is marvelous as personal mentors are allotted to every faculty which I can be sure no other institute is providing. In addition to this, the parents who send their wards from far flung areas are sending their wards on the basis of security system which LPU is providing. It is pertinent to add here that a special division for students welfare is there to assist the activities and to provide a smooth platform So, as an educator I personally believe, if you want to learn new and explore, LPU is the right place.

Hi Ayushman, Well Manipal University is not bad but you need to one thing that LPU is a very energetic and having "Think Big" vision. They have developed the habit to produce Industry ready candidate. In fact in terms of Working hours LPU student will Cop up 9 to 5 job culture from day 1. Manipal University is old and carrying ample of experience but when comes to part of LPU. LPU is beating all such records of excellence where they have set several benchmarks for not only Manipal University but many other Private Universities also. Being an Education Consultant I am observing LPU since long time. Over the period of years LPU has come up with very strict admission intake pattern. Eligibility criteria of taking Admission is one of difficult among other private Universities in India. It is just like few of the top Universities in India. LPU is a master of few key salient features: 1) Offering more than 250 programs at a single campus. 2) During this COVID-19 pandemic, sanitation of the giant campus is really difficult but LPU is managing to do it. I came to know few days ago when I went to SEE the campus for few of my clients. We were humbly denied to enter the campus due to this reason only. 3) Offering the biggest scholarship schemes through out the country. Recently LPU announced "COVID-19 FRONTLINE SCHOLARSHIP" to the survivors of Coronavirus or their wards. 4) Online Teaching even in this Outbreak. 5) Regular improvisation in the curriculum after every 6 months with the consultation of many Business tycoons. Now they are bearing Industry Orienting Curriculum. 6) World class Infrastructure, Either in sports, Library, Research Labs, Workshops, Body Shops for Mechanical Engineers or Classrooms. 7) Wonderful Teaching Pedagogy. 8) Highly Qualified and Experienced Faculty. I hope LPU and Manipal University are equally good. You really need to do tough comparisons to final your destination pursue your further studies. All the best for your future.

Hi, The organizations which you have mentioned are offering many courses under its roof, but I would suggest you check the following before finalizing the institute: 1. Rankings 2. Faculty 3. Pedagogy used 4. International exposure 5. Tech-savvy 6. Placements Both institutes are doing great in education, but I don't have many details for Manipal University. Still, I can highlight some of the facts of LPU based on feedback received by Alumni's of LPU: #LPU being in education for the last 18 years, has fetched many rankings to its credit as compared to any other institute. The university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. #Several big brands of the industry have visited the LPU campus during academic sessions. # Students are also provided with on-job training, industrial exposures inculcating in them modern management skills. #LPU believes in delivering quality, and for the same, it has hired faculty from the reputed institutes like IITs, NITs. The syllabus is vetted by the company officials of Cognizant, SAP, Microsoft, etc. , to provide an updated curriculum. #LPU has its own space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on a satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO. #If you consider placements, LPU outperforms in that by assisting the student in getting the highest package by making the student prepare for the placements. I tell you, Tanya got placed in Microsoft at 42LPA, and many more students got hefty packages which I doubt students have cracked at the other mentioned institute. As I mentioned there is no comparison, but if you still want my opinion, LPU is the right option. Thanks.
