    As per my experience, LPU is the Best OPTION. In Civil, Engineering LPU emphasizes the evolution of manmade infrastructure as LPU understands how they have evolved to the present scenario. With the advancement of technology in leaps and bounds, the future of civil engineering in the years to come will be crucial, especially with the establishment of smart cities. LPU is nurturing our students to adapt and be equipped with this ever-changing scenario. To cater to these needs the department is structured into five vibrant centers of study:

    I think, Thapar Institute is better in terms of placements and infrastructure. An institute whose student accommodation has recently been awarded for best infrastructure ought to be good in civil engineering. Keeping that aside as well, I know many people who pursued their Civil engineering. From TIET and are placed with reputed organizations.

    I think Thapar University is the best option because it offers admission through JEE Mains score when compared to LPU. And it also provides opportunities to students to get the training of one year in foreign countries.

    Following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: -
    1. Most of the faculty staff is from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also.
    2. The capstone project is an integral part of the B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end.
