Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Dear Jai, First of all let me clarify that all three mentioned above are Private Universities not colleges! You can choose any of these according to your aptitude, interest, hobbies, bent of mind and aspirations. If at LPU, you do not have any problem in placements in any of these two as more than 650 companies visit the campus every year for recruitment. The main features, why LPU attracts such a large number of companies are as follows: Course curriculum: It is any day the mainstay or backbone of any programme. The extensive research, industry consultations, feedback from existing employers of LPU students, foreign collaborators and distinguished faculty all over the world goes into developing the curriculum of LPU, and all this: Upgraded in very semester. This makes the LPU syllabi most advanced and industry oriented in all respects. Trainings : A large number of trainings in cutting edge technologies like SAP and other MOOCs are given as a part of programme to enable the students learn what others learn after the courses. For example the SAP modules which cost upwards of INR one lac are a part of curriculum free of cost. School of Professional Enhancement: This is one department which kicks in from the first semester for holistic development of the students to create ethical, virtuous, hardcore professionals out of the students within their student life. The skills inculcated into students here are soft skills, professional etiquette, personality development and various other professional values which help the students not only in placements but throughout their careers. Diversity: LPU attracts the students and faculty from all states of India and about 72 more countries. This huge diversity in peers and faculty helps the student learn about various cultures and one most important trait called TEAMWORK. Scholarships: The meritorious students who perform well in their 10 +2 board exams or in LPU NEST get lucrative scholarships upto 40% of the fee of course per semester. Placements : LPU has a vast network of companies coming in to campus for placements every year. All these points clearly establish that LPU is far ahead of all the other private players across the country. DVD.

In the era of cut-throat competition, every institute is floating lot many courses with differential features but the point is how the curriculum for the programme is floated and what is the outcome which means how is the placement of the organisation. The organisations which you have mentioned are also offering many courses under its roof but I would suggest you to check the following before finalising the institute. 1. Rankings 2. Faculty 3. Pedagogy used 4. International exposure 5. Tech-savvy last but not the least Placements LPU being in education since 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 LPU campus during academic sessions. Students are also provided with on job trainings, industrial exposures inculcating in them modern management skills. LPU believes in delivering the quality, for same, it has hired faculty from the reputed institutes like IITs, NITs. The syllabus is vetted from the company officials of Cognozant, SAP, Microsoft etc. To provide updated curriculum. LPU has his own space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO. If you consider placements, LPU outperforms in that as well by assisting the student to get the highest package by making the student prepare for the placements. I tell you a girl named 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.
