Gagan Chopra · Answer

LPU is the good in all perspectives whether it is teaching, placements, infrastructure or other facilities. My lot of friends have done B.Tech, M.Tech from LPU and they have wonderful experience and they are doing great in their fields with handsome salary packages. When I was seeking college for admission for my graduation, I was quite confused. But after a long comparison with all relevant facts and figures I joined LPU and now I am an alumni of LPU and Decision for LPU was best decision of my life. LPU gave me extra edge in everything. LPU is Great in teaching, placements, infrastructure or other facilities. LPU has around 2300 faculty members in the university. It has experienced, specialised and well qualified faculty members. LPU has earned many affiliations, recognition and accreditation and mark itself among the few of the top private universities. Moreover the placement opportunities in LPU are much better than other private universities as it is ranked the 5th among the other universities for its placement records.

Hi, It is really a very genuine question. And believe me, in spite of an education consultant it is very difficult for me to tell you that which is better. Both the universities are big name and both are of equal potential. Once upon a time, just 10-12 years ago, Thapar university was a dream destination for every engineering aspirant. With the passage of time I hope that definitely they will put some effort to make the curriculum And atmosphere dynamic at their campus. On the other hand, Lovely Professional University is growing very rapidly. In just one and half decade LPU is trying to touch the unlimited sky.

Dear Umer, I have checked the website of Thapar, it has a long heritage and legacy to make it a big name however LPU is relatively a newer player, thapar publicly proclaims about 200 companies visit their campus and hire close to 900 students. So I think the comparison is a bit unfair, LPU operates at entirely a different tangent, from 700+ companies to 5000 plus placements! CSE at LPU have been designed primarily to suit the needs of the students who aspire to be the future engineers, managers or entrepreneurs with a strong grounding in accounting and finance. Developing analytical, communication and decision making skills of students is an important focus area throughout the duration of the programme. The students are encouraged to undertake assignments/project work from the industry and work towards finding possible solutions to integrate their theoretical knowledge with industrial practices. Keeping in view the employment potential, in-depth knowledge is provided to the students through department electives in computer networks, artificial intelligence, databases and information systems as well as computer programming and algorithms. Some of the unique features are: 12 centers of excellence set up by industry majors themselves. Even the IITs and NITs are appreciating campus wide facilities in terms of IT. Online access to research journals, leading company annual reports and business dissertations with design analysis for ERP. Design and Development of software and databases for data analysis. Option to opt for industry relevant and industry delivered skills to enhance placement prospects. Student driven activities for leadership and technological development Software exhibitions on applications and research projects. Back up and support by top companies for academics and curriculum like Microsoft, IBM, Cognizant etc. All this coupled with country's the biggest placement extravaganza! Over 700 top companies into campus with over 60 offering 10 lacs and above makes LPU a clear leader. Now coming to scholarships, LPU runs the India's the largest scholarship scheme through LPU NEST last two qualifications, Covid frontline, defence, sports etc. So, LPU it is. DVD.
