    In LPU, both Civil Engineering and Computer Science Engineering (CSE) are good branches, and essentially quite different from one another.

If you are inclined towards creating structures such as buildings, bridges, or smart cities, Civil Engineering offers advanced laboratories, live projects, and internships with top construction companies. On the other hand, CSE is suited for individuals interested in technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, and others. Prominent tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Infosys are some of the preferred employers where CSE graduates from LPU often secure p

    Go with civil if you are interested in it and go with CSE if you are interested in it. It completely depends on your passion, each branch has its own weightage. Somehow, if in current time, CSE is a demanding branch but after 4 years what will happen you never know. So, better to put your passion first.
  • Vishnu, both the branches are equally good but what is important is your interest. So, take admission according to your interest.
    LPU has been ranked as one of the best universities by various agencies on the basis of its infrastructure, its placements, its pedagogy, its faculty, to mention a few.
    The university leaves no stone unturned to shape the future of its students. It is definitely the first choice of both national and international students.

    Every course has its own value, but CSE is a demanding course nowadays as you might be aware of the placement record of LPU for CSE, it is good to go with CSE.

    I think both are good but CSE is more valuable in the present. We don't know anything about the future as India is a developing country and civil might also have a bright future.
