Which is better among LPU and Manipal, Jaipur (I am getting a scholarship in LPU)?

Question

Tashi · Answer

Congratulations on getting scholarship. I personally feel that you can support your parents when your study is financed by the organisation through scholarship and when you get good placements and let me tell you LPU provides both. As an educational consultant I keep an eye on the rankings, content, pedagogy and placements by various universities. On the parameters, I have come to conclusion that LPU is serving best to the students. To initiate with rankings, LPU is recognised by the UGC, COA, PCI, AIU, NCTE, ICAR. Internationally, LPU is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business School and Programs (ACBSP) and a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). #Let me brief you about the rankings that LPU has to its credit; the latest NIRF (2020) has ranked LPU as top 80 amongst all private and government institutes. MHRD, government and has already fetched many. #Keeping in view, the quality education at affordable pricing, LPU offers scholarships for various programs. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible students to secure good placement. #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. #The experienced staff which is deputed to teach and guide is experienced one and is meeting the norms of UGC. The pedagogy which is undertaken to teach students is always updated with new initiatives like flip classroom, more discussions etc. This is a place where a student develops confidence and takes initiatives, develops entrepreneurial abilities and learn to survive in challenging conditions. #The connect between the students and faculty is marvellous as personal mentors are allotted to every faculty which I can be sure no other institute is providing. #More than 700 companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. The astonishing companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Samsung, HDFC bank, Colgate, and many more visit every year for on campus drives and hire many students. For that purpose LPU provides Professional enhancement programme classes in which the students are prepared to crack the placement processes. I will advise you to book the seat at the earliest or maximum by 15-7-2020 Hope this helps.

Dear Pooja, Lets go point by point: 1. LPU has more than 2300 faculty members out of which over 700 are Ph.D. and above. All faculty is mandated to mentor the students and use experiential learning pedagogy so that students get best of the experience. 2. College life and exposure: College life is vibrant, as this massive campus has students bot only from all over the country but 70 more countries ! So you have big diversity. The large number of events and activities like quizzes, hackathons, inter dept, inter university etc. The campus boasts of all the possible facilities which a mid sized modern town can have. YES a town, because it is now a huge walled community. The exposure is valued as large number of people from industry visit for various purposes like interactions, panel discussions, guest lectures, hiring, internships, projects and consultancies etc. 3. Personal experience: Having worked with some top universities in the country including both mentioned above, I SEE LPU is cut above the rest. Coming to decision: It will always be yours, but do take into consideration the massive difference in the cost involved, LPU's fee which is already fraction of that of Manipal is topped up with generous scholarships too. Hope this helps DVD.

The mixture of races and religions helps to build a decent environment.
