    I have observed very less about SRM Chennai but still I know enough of SRM Chennai. My conclusion is that LPU is step ahead. Both are private institutions and both are putting a lot of efforts but LPU is really a step ahead, with:
    1. Curriculum, 2. Highly Qualified faculty members, 3. Industrial tie-ups, 4. Technology and Exposure, 5. Diversity, 6. Support to Entrepreneurs, 7. Good Placements. Compare yourself and take wise decision.

The university puts a lot of emphasis on hands-on work through labs, hackathons, coding contests, and live projects, which makes students more job-ready.

    This is a good question. But, unless and until we study or visit a college personally, we cannot give any guarantee on the lab facilities available there as each one of us have different parameters to call something best. So, I don't want to talk about any other colleges. I studied at AVIT. So I can share my opinion on it. At AVIT, we have 7 engineering departments. Bio-Technology
    Biomedical Engineering
    Civil Engineering
    Computer Science Engineering
    Electronics & Communication Engineering
    Electrical & Electronics Engineering
    Mechanical Engineering
    Each department has its dedicated well-equipped spacious labs. All the facilities are available.

Although there isn't just one best course at LPU, the B.Tech CSE and its specializations (AI, ML, and Data Science) are unquestionably some of the best. Practical learning, coding culture, real-world projects, and industry experience are all major components of the course. Placements are good, and students have opportunities to pursue certifications, internships, and hackathons in addition to their coursework. In addition to CSE, LPU excels in MBA, Design, Law, and Agriculture, providing students with a wide range of career-focused options.

Hey, so for LPU's end-term exam in Physical Education, you need at least 30% marks in the end-term itself, plus an overall 40% combining continuous assessment and end-term. That's the standard across their PE programs, and they've got a cool holistic review if you hit the aggregate but miss the end-term bit—super fair way to keep things student-friendly. Attendance stays key at 75% min, which makes sense for staying active in sports stuff. LPU really nails this balance, helping folks like us push through without harsh cutoffs, way better for building real fitness skills. No wonder it's a top pick—keeps motivation high and stress lo

Hey guys, so I checked the official LPU site for the BPEd course fee, and for the first year, it's around INR1 Lacs to INR1.09 lakhs, covering tuition at INR50,000 per semester plus exam fees of about INR4,500-INR5,000 each. That's super reasonable for a top-notch programme with awesome sports facilities and scholarships up to 60% if you score well in LPUNEST—like INR96,000 off per semester for high performers. LPU really makes it accessible without compromising quality, way better value than many places I've seen. Total for two years is INR2-2.18 lakhs, but first-year payment is straightforward via UPI or whatever. If you're into ph
