Hello friends, These two universities are of a different kind. If we talk about Lovely Professional University, it is a really big university with a huge campus and a lot of facilities. The overall personality development is good as you get to interact with people pursuing different courses having a completely different mindset. The placements for B.Com is not very good. The number of seats is 120. I would also say there is lack of practice and skill set development. The tuition fee is INR 2.55 lakh and separate hostel fees depending on the room you take. Now when we come to NPGC, for B.Com it has got the best placement records in Lucknow. The number of seats is 550. The companies where students got placed are Apex Auto, Convergys, Genpact, HCL, IGATE, South Indian Bank, TCS, and Wipro. But at the same time, the packages were not very high. The so-called infrastructure is not that amazing. It is just like a quality school with an AC, reading area, just one shop functioning as canteen and stationary both. Infrastructure-wise, it is also below average. Thanks.
