Both universities are great in their field, I am talking about LPU, this university is different in north India. The reputation of this university is higher than any other university and it cannot be compared because LPU has its own standards. The management of the college is one of the best in India as every student of the college has a case study of LPU management in the syllabus. There is also enough funding for startups and projects (high quality). Infrastructure: The campus has green spaces like air conditioning, Google and IMAC labs, trial, fine art studios, countryside, space center, playgrounds and both girls and boys dormitories. Ranking: The second most important thing an applicant can look at when applying to a university or college is the ranking. Thus, Lovely Professional University finds 90-95 jobs out of 100 students. Especially for B.Tech the highest salary package was 64 lacs per annum. 21 laws per year were used in administration. So I think the packages are great compared to what other universities offer. Ranking: If I talk about the ranking, LPU is among the top 100 private and public universities. For me, the most important achievement this year was the final ranking of the world's universities among all public and private universities. I hope you find this information useful.

LPU has formed a contemporary record in the whole of North India by placing its student Tanya Arora with Microsoft, who bagged a package of 42 LPA. Additionally, other record-breaking placements for LPU includes: the highest Placement (Engineering) Rs. 42 Lacs per annum (Microsoft) the highest Placement (Management) Rs. 19.75 Lacs per annum (SOBHA Developers) the highest Placement (Design) Rs. 15 Lacs per annum (Trident Group) Amazon recruited LPU students on a package of 28 LPA The highest internship stipend is up to 80k per month. (which is really hard to get in other universities) The reason why LPU has better placement records than other universities is because of its unique career cell. It enables students in getting relevant work experience to complement their studies and develop appropriate skills and knowledge. Resume writing, aptitude development workshops among other activities are hosted for the overall development of students and prepare them to crack the interviews easily. Alumni of LPU are working with top-notch brands globally with a package of more than 1 crore. Right from Google to Apple, students are working worldwide. Some of the top recruiters are Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Accenture, Cognizant, Amazon, TCS, IBM, Informatica, Capgemini, SAP, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Bosch, Ashok Leyland, Voltas, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Daikin, Renault Nissan, Sony, Adobe, Virtusa, KPIT, Morgan Stanley, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Trident Group, Infineon, KPMG, Colgate-Palmolive and the list still goes on. The best thing I like about LPU about placement is, they provide placement classes to all the students from the very first year who opt for the placement. With the help of this, they can prepare themselves for placements till the pre-final year because the companies will start visiting for the recruitment of students from a pre-final year. Some of the students go for internships also in their final year. LPU received an Employability award by Aspiring Mind in 2020 for best placement Institute in India. LPU is ranked 10th best university for Training and Placement in 2019 by Knowledge Review LPU got the Golden Star Award 2018 for being the University with the best placements in India.
