Which is the best college for placements among UPES and LPU?

Unable to comment on the status of UPES but can throw light on the scenario of LPU as one of my neighbourer who studied from LPU appreciated the hard efforts of the organisation in placements. More than 700 companies visit LPU every year for campus-recruitment of students. The companies which have visited as of now are: Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant Technology Solutions, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, Verizon, SAP Labs, Hitachi Power, Videocon, L&T Technology Services, Ericsson, HCL Technologies, Asahi India, Ceasefire Industries, Sandhar Technologies, Indus tower, Decathlon Sports, Exide Industries, Emami, Eye-Q Vision, ITC Limited, Janalakshmai Financial Services, Kelloggs, MRF, Naukri, Moodys Analytics, WNS Global, Writer Corporation, Nivesh Group, OCWEN Financial, Practo and many more. Some big recruiters are MICROSOFT INDIA = 42 LPA GAMESKRAFT TECHNOLOGIES = 32 LPA INTERVIEW BIT = 31 LPA CODE NATION = 31 LPA MEDIA NET = 29.78 LPA AMAZON SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT INDIA LTD = 28 LPA OPTMYZR = 24 LPA ADOBE SYSTEMS INDIA = 22.3 LPA GOLDMAN SACHS INDIA SECURITIES PVT LTD = 22 LPA DE SHAW INDIA PVT LTD = 18 LPA AMAZON SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT INDIA LTD =18 LPA XILINX = 17 LPA KHIMJI RAMDAS = 16.6 LPA ASKNBID =14 LPA TIVO CORPORATION =14 LPA POSTMAN =14 LPA I personally believe that output is the function of inputs means if input is good, output has to be, so is the case for the placements of LPU. My neighbourer told that LPU believes in delivering the quality, for same, it has hired faculty from the reputed institutes like IITs, NITs. The syllabus is vetted from the company officials of Cognozant, SAP, Microsoft etc. To provide updated curriculum. LPU has his own space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO. Apart from this, LPU offers the following: 1. Rankings 2. Updated Curriculum 3. Industry Exposure 4. Good placements 5. Community Projects 6. Centre for Excellence 7. Internal and external competitions 8. Trainings In order to get the above learning and exposure, I will advise you to book the seat before 31-8-2020 to fetch maximum scholarship. Hope this helps.

<p>If you're comparing UPES and LPU strictly on placements, UPES tends to have an edge overall because of its stronger industry connections in engineering and specialised domains. Recruiters in core sectors visit UPES more consistently, while LPU offers wider variety but slightly less concentrated placement strength. It still depends on your branch and how active you are with internships and projects, so check with current students in your field before deciding.</p>
