I will share something which I experienced before getting admission in LPU. When I was about to complete my schooling, we (my family) started looking for a good college for myself. This is when one of my family friend told us about Lovely Professional University. Both of their children had graduated from LPU and they had some great things to say about the university. This is when we decided to visit the campus. We had a talk with the staff and faculty to know more about the university. In addition to this, we also had a talk with the students of the university. Here is a list of factors on which we reviewed LPU to decide whether we should go for it or not. The current students of LPU told us that the faculty is very friendly and considerate. Apart from helping the student academically, the highly-experienced faculty works towards the all-round development of the student at LPU. We got to know that the students at LPU get a chance to work in Fortune 500 Companies. They get a chance to work with Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, and many other international companies. LPU has also recorded the highest number of placements in the past years with more and more students getting the chance to work in the top companies of the world. Infrastructure: Another great thing we got to know about LPU was its infrastructure which is actually as good as it is advertised. It offers students the kind of campus life with facilities you won't find in many colleges. From departmental stores to coffee shops, LPU offers an entirely different campus life experience. It has a full fledged mall inside the campus. Another good thing about this university, LPU has food stalls that provide different cuisines, and the south Indian delicacies are really good. For its international students, it offers cuisines, such as African, Bhutanese, etc. Multicultural events: Diversity is something I always appreciate. LPU, to make its national and international students feel at home, organizes events where students give performances related to their culture or organize food stalls of the cuisines of their respective states and countries. LPU recently organized events called One India and One World so as to sensitize the students of LPU about different cultures. LPU takes care of its international students: This one is something I learnt from my sister. LPU helps international students with their visa application and on-boarding process and other pre and post arrival.

I'm alumni of lpu and from my experience, I can say lpu is the best, it has the best infrastructure and professional faculty is there who are always there for students. They conduct a series of test in each semester consisting of CAs (continuous assessment), mid-term and end-term which helps in evaluating the students performing in the right way. This university is best for the student who really wants to learn and grow in their respected fields.

Hi Dear, Actually, it is worthless to compare both the Universities. LPU is miles ahead of CU. They are very newer to the Education Providers lobby. Whereas LPU has experience of almost two decades. CU has grown up rapidly with the passage of time and they are even putting in enough effort. But they really need to review, are their efforts are enough to nurture the future of their students. Now here is the difference between CU and LPU! CU is an excellent business model, more the students more are the more profit. So if you are a parent and your child is in +2, someday, you will receive a call saying Sir, only one seat is left in computer Science and if you come in the next 15 minutes, you will get one. You would believe that only one seat is left and I should hurry up now (This is how their calling cell manipulates the parents). In actuality, there is no check over how many fixed seats do their branches have and no government body ever inspects this. CU is not all up to the mark at the Curriculum when they are in comparison with LPU. CU is far behind the Think Big vision of LPU. They are not offering LIVE PROJECTS to their students which is the backbone of the MBA programme. They do not have good Industrial Tie-ups University is far away from State-National Highways. Actually, University is surrounded by villages and farming lands. You will hardly find any restaurants or hotels or any shopping outlet in that area. The area is Gharuan (25 km away from Chandigarh). Many people believe it to be a government university due to the Chandigarh word but it is not a government university. On the other Hand, Getting admission in MBA at Mittal School Of Business, LPU is not an easy achievement for any candidate because of their quality admission intake. If I am not wrong, LPU has maintained such standards of quality admission intake and has very stringent eligibility criteria also. But if you get admission in MSB, LPU after satisfying their eligibility criteria, you will fly high, sky will be the limit because from day 1 LPU acts like their Tag Line Think Big and Slogan Transforming Education, Transforming India. For more details of LPU, you may refer to the LPU website. I hope this helps Thank You!

All universities are right in place. But as a student of the LPU would like I mention that the LPU is better. I already have the view factor of all universities. Rating, education, placement, epoch and infrastructure in each item LPU is better. Ranking: If I speak an approximate score then LPU is below top one hundred between all personal and authorities’ university. What shook me this year at the maximum is the rating current bias to span the worlds college rating again between all authorities and personal University. Placements: maximum crucial thing that the applicant at the university/technical college even during can see entering. So, in a lovely professional university of 100 students 90-95 students get a place. Especially at B.Tech, the best sales package was converted to 64lac consistent with year. In control was 21lacs consistent with year. So in my factor to see your super programs than browse them to any other span University. Infrastructure: There are inexperienced regions within span university in my extraordinary regions, conference room with air conditioning, Google- Lab, IMAC Lab, Moot Court, best Artwork Lab, Farmland, Area Center, Play Areas and all boys and girls hostel. Hope this helps you.
