    Rankwise, LPU is higher than UPES. For some specialised courses like petroleum engineering UPES is better but overall LPU would be a better choice.

    LPU is much better than UPES because LPU provides great opportunities to all eligible students to secure good placements. Moreover, LPU ranks amongst the Top 200 universities globally as per the prestigious Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2021.

    Dear Sameeksha, Being alumni of LPU, I can answer this question. Comparing other Universities with LPU, I would say that LPU is better in terms of placements. In fact, LPU created a new record in the whole of North India by placing its student Tanya Arora with Microsoft, who bagged a package of 42 LPA. Besides, 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
