I am not quite aware of IEM-Kolkata in terms of B.Tech CSE programme but as per my experience, I must say that LPU provides great academic exposure to its students. It provides a chance to the students to attend guest lectures or workshops, so that they get to learn as much as they can. LPU is far way ahead with any other institute in many parameters such as rankings, exposure and placements. The university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. Let me highlight what I have out figured: LPU adopts new technologies faster than anyone, they update their curriculum even after each semester by taking feedback from the students and also to meet the latest standards. LPU focuses on practical knowledge a lot, they have high tech labs and dedicated MAC lab for iOS development, each core subject has a different practical subject for it. Also in today generation knowledge and education is not only based on textbooks but also on the outside world, thinking out of the box and overall learning that's why LPU offers their students to participate in a lot of activities and events, the environment of LPU is very good and the academics tasks of LPU are so well planned that even in a course like Engineering you'll be able to manage time for exploring other things. Placements at LPU have always been good, LPU has set the bar very high due to its record-breaking placements.

The demand for computer Science engineers has been strong both in India and overseas. The scope of employment is very good and opportunities exist both in IT and non-IT companies for students of computer Science engineering. Apart from the regular IT jobs, the non-IT Companies also employ these students. Though both the universities are good in terms of academic structure but being an alumni let me explain the things in detail. Computer Science and Engineering programme is a popular branch among students and offers decent job opportunities after graduation. Students who are interested in programming, software development, computer Science and have good analytical and reasoning skills may pursue this course. With the high demand of computer Science and technology in the industry, B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering courses have gained potential which land students in various positions- Systems Analyst, Web Developer, Finance Programmer, Software Engineer, Product Manager, Game Developer, and many more. The University has tie ups with variuos industries like Google, Intel, DellEMC, BOSCH, CISCO, VMware IT academy, PEGA, Automation Everywhere, CompTIA in order to keep the students in pace with the changing technological advances. Tie ups with industry also enables the content delivery by Industry Experts, Projects in Collaboration with Industry and Internships to provide practical hands on experience. Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons / Co-curricular Competitive events, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, projects with NGOs etc. Are an integral part of curriculum. LPU has the best placement for B.Tech CSE. Tanya Arora, a final year B.Tech Computer Science Engineering student of Lovely Professional University, has bagged a whopping Rs 42 Lac job offer from Microsoft. LPU alumni, Utkarsh, placed at Google HQs in Silicon Valley Rs. 1Cr. + package. LPU becomes the favourite landing place for top recruiters like Cognizant Technology Solutions, Tech Mahindra, Capgemini, Amazon, Bosch Engineering, Tata Consultancy services, Meditab and many more. CSE in LPU is one of the best among private universities, not only it has a good academic structure and placements but also good overall development of skills required in real life work.

Hi, B.Tech CSE is not an ordinary programme! It requires a lot and lots of infrastructure and industry input to run successfully. Since the speed of changes in technology is breakneck, the universities need to be highly dynamic in nature to adjust their curriculum as per requirements almost continuously. There is an only a private university that can actually say that it has excelled in curriculum development, industry interface, diversity, professional enhancement, community development exposure, entrepreneurship exposure, technology training, infrastructure, and teaching pedagogy, and that is LPU. More than 700 faculty members are PhDs and Postdoctoral, and they provide exposure to students, which is unmatched. Coming to placements, the stellar record of LPU in placements is unmatched because of its efforts on curriculum development and delivery, industry interface, professional enhancement, and diversity of students; over 600 companies visit the campus for recruitment every year. None of the private universities can match LPU in any of the parameters, actually! Recent NIRF and ATAL rankings by the Government of India are proof enough! LPU is miles ahead of any other private university in almost all the comparison parameters. Thanks.
