The demand of IT graduates is very high in companies due to software-based application development and process maintenance tasks. To get a reputed job, a candidate must have requisite skills and knowledge of this field. I can understand the concern of you. It is a very difficult situation for you to decide. Every university is doing good for his students for their best career. There are certain parameters such as placements, infrastructure, faculty level, environment, growth etc. To be considered while selection of institute for pursuing education. It a big question in the mind of a student as well as parents that what will the offers and placement scenario of educational institute when the student will be about to complete the course. LPU is an international university with more than 700+ tie ups with industries and companies to support academic and placement of his students. My cousin sister done her B.Tech in CSE from here and she got placed in Cognizant with top package. Other friends of her also placed in other companies such as Capgemini, Tech. Mahindra, BOSCH, Amazon, SAP, Texas Instruments, Cadence, Sandisk, Moserbear. Their junior Tanya Arora who is recently in news, got placed in Microsoft with 42 LPA (https://m.timesofindia.com/spotlight/lpu-one-of-the-few-indian-universities-from-where-google-microsoft-hire/articleshow/75690005.cms). So, we have no doubt that LPU is best and a bench marks for placement and internships of students not only in CSE but also in other courses. One more point I want to highlight here is that the scholarships offered by LPU helps a student without any monetary burden. Now, LPU has floated COVID-19 Front-line Scholarship for COVID survivors and their dependents as well which is the best possible effort it can provide to target every aspirant in this current scenario. So, these are the few points of LPU which will help you for your decision to take admission upto 31 May,2020. For more information you can visit university website or call toll free number. Good Luck.

Sampreet Kaur · Answer

Both IT and Food Technology at LPU have good placement opportunities, but in terms of overall industry demand, IT tends to have a higher number of job offers and salary packages. Many big companies in tech, like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, visit LPU's campus for placements. On the other hand, Food Technology also has opportunities, especially in food processing industries, research labs, and quality control, but the number of placements might be a bit lower compared to IT. If you're looking for a broader range of job options, IT might be a better choice for higher placement chances. However, if you're passionate about food and its science, Food Technology can be a fulfilling career. LPU's placement process for both courses is strong, and they provide a lot of support to students.

Riya Riya · Answer

In terms of placements at LPU, both IT and Food Technology have their unique advantages, but generally, IT tends to offer broader and more frequent placement opportunities, especially in the tech industry. The IT industry has a high demand for skilled professionals across various fields such as software development, cybersecurity, data analysis, cloud computing, and AI. Major tech companies like TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, and Wipro frequently recruit from LPU's IT programs. IT graduates typically have access to higher-paying jobs, especially in software development and tech management roles. Food technology is a niche field with opportunities in sectors like food production, quality control, food safety, research and development, and supply chain management. Graduates may work with companies like Nestle, PepsiCo, Britannia, or food research institutions. The salary packages in food technology are generally more modest compared to those in IT, but there is still good potential for growth, especially for those pursuing advanced research roles or entrepreneurial ventures. If you're aiming for better placement opportunities and higher salary potential, the IT programme might be a better option. However, if you have a passion for food sciences and innovation, Food Technology can also offer fulfilling career paths, albeit in a more niche market.
