Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

As per my view, LPU is best university because of the curriculum, exposure and placements it is providing, no other university can beat it. LPU is renowned private university with more than 30,000 students and experienced faculty from various institutes. There are more than 250 courses which are offered by the University. B.Tech (CSE) is also one of the high in demand programme because of its following features: 1. Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology UG Programmes have been designed primarily to suit the needs of the students who aspire to be the future engineers, managers or entrepreneurs with a strong grounding in accounting and finance. Developing analytical, communication and decision making skills of students is an important focus area throughout the duration of the programme. 2. The students are encouraged to undertake assignments/project work from the industry and work towards finding possible solutions to integrate their theoretical knowledge with industrial practices. Keeping in view the employment potential, in-depth knowledge is provided to the students through department electives in computer networks, artificial intelligence, databases and information systems as well as computer programming and algorithms. 3. Adding to the above, more than 550 companies (more than 90% being MNC's) visit every year for campus-recruitment of students from LPU. The companies which have visited as of now are: Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant Technology Solutions, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, Verizon, SAP Labs, Hitachi Power, Videocon, L&T Technology Services, Ericsson, HCL Technologies, Asahi India, Ceasefire Industries, Sandhar Technologies, Indus tower, Decathlon Sports, Exide Industries, Emami, Eye-Q Vision, ITC Limited, Janalakshmai Financial Services, Kelloggs, MRF, Naukri, Moodys Analytics, WNS Global, Writer Corporation, Nivesh Group, OCWEN Financial, Practo and many more. Considering the above mentioned points, I can say that LPU is best option to pursue CSE. LPU has floated COVID-19 Frontline Scholarship for COVID survivors and their dependents as well which is the best possible effort it can provide to target every aspirant in this current scenario.

Hi, 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 in the placements; the regular industrial talks, interactions, lectures, visits, and internships are a must-have in any tech programme. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days; personality, ethics, virtuousness, speech, body language, interpersonal skills, etc. , are given high importance. The programme must include the training or modules on all these. Diversity: As the world shrink into an 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 helps enable the students to develop the right sensibilities for such work atmosphere. Entrepreneurship: Even though most of the students go for jobs, exposure to entrepreneurship is required. This helps the professionals know how the other departments and the profit center heads work, expectations, etc. The college must have innovation labs, design thinking, and a business incubator. Community service: A few community projects in between the course are very important to develop the humane side of the person and learn the organizing skills. Placements: The programme is the only means to the end! And desired end of such a course is a placement. You must check if the college/university has a solid track record of placements or not. LPU has a phenomenal, unmatched track record on each of these criteria in the last decade or so, more than 700 top recruiters from across the globe are regular to campus. This is proof enough of its excellence. So, go for LPU. Thanks.
