Question

Khushal Arora · Answer

Hello! I have done my Engineering from Lovely Professional University and I am a proud alumnus of LPU. I can share details about LPU but I cannot comment anything about CU. Starting with my experience from the first year onwards, where we asked to join some Placement Enhancement Classes, that day I wondering why there is a need of same at this early stage and then the day I was sitting in my placement drive, I recall all those essential points which were taught to me that day and those eventually helped me in securing my seat in an interview. One more point I would like to share that it is not just calling the company to the campus, but preparing the students up to such level that they can crack any interview is equally important. So, I have observed, LPU faculties, put in a lot of efforts to get the students placed. So, preparing the students to such level is more important and putting up efforts for that is more important and that what LPU always takes care of. University has separate placement enhancement department, which focuses on overall development of students. University keeps on conducting, guest lectures, seminars, live projects, hands on training, sharing views and experiences by the experts and many more events which helps the students to broaden their thoughts and cope with the corporate world. In my batch I remember, almost 95% students were placed and there were many who got the multiple packages as well. I was one of them, I remember my day I am hopping around the campus and was looking around which option to choose, Finally I landed up choosing HCL, with which I am currently working as well since last 4 years and have received many promotions and hikes. All I dedicate that to my faculties and mentors at LPU. They helped me in choosing the right decision at that time as well. Students are trained professionally from their first year onwards. The University provides maximum opportunities to students. It depends upon the students whether they want to grab the opportunity or not. Talking about my another life experience where we were asked to be a part of some live project in my second year and I was wondering, whether I am capable enough to be a part of such grand project from an MNC, but when eventually I started working, I realized I can do that and I had that much knowledge to be cope up with such projects. Also, such projects boosted up my CV and helped me in my placements as well as in my professional career. I hope this helps you.

CSE is not an ordinary programme. It is highly resource intensive, dynamic and difficult programme to run for the curators. You never know when some technology gets obsolete! The curators need to be equally dynamic as the industry is. It needs unflinching focus to run the programme according to industry. Very few universities have been able to recognize this dynamism and perfect the curriculum and its delivery for producing the well rounded professionals. LPU has excelled in almost every parameter possible in field of education, even more so in case of CSE as it is the flagship programme of university. Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology UG Programs at LPU 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. 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. Some of the unique features are: 12 centers of excellence set up by industry majors themselves. Even the IITs and NITs are appreciating campus wide facilities in terms of IT. Online access to research journals, leading company annual reports and business dissertations with design analysis for ERP. Design and Development of software and databases for data analysis. Option to opt for industry relevant and industry delivered skills to enhance placement prospects. Student driven activities for leadership and technological development Software exhibitions on applications and research projects. Back up and support by top companies for academics and curriculum like Microsoft, IBM, Cognizant etc. All this coupled with country's the biggest placement extravaganza! Over 600 top companies into campus with over 60 offering 10 lacs and above makes LPU a clear leader. Now coming to scholarships, LPU runs the India's the largest scholarship scheme through LPU NEST last two qualifications, Covid frontline, defence, sports etc. So, LPU it is. DVD.
