LPU surpasses Chitkara in all aspects whether international exposure, placement opportunities, curriculum, faculty. LPU will always be best! LPU has earned many affiliations, recognitions and accreditation is amongst the few of the top private universities. So, as per my opinion, you should go for LPU to pursue your higher studies.

LPU is a better option than Chitkara. LPU is a well renowned private university in India with 30K+ students all across the world and with 4000 experienced faculty members and staff members. There are more than 200 programmes to choose and with a great infrastructure LPU provides all the facilities within the campus itself. LPU has earned many affiliations, recognitions and accreditation down the lane and mark itself amongst the few of the top private universities. So, I would suggest you to choose LPU to pursue your higher studies.

In fact, one of the greatest strengths of a psychology degree is the enormous variety of career paths that are available to graduates. Students can tailor their education and degree to focus on specialty areas that appeal to their interests. Though both the universities are good in academic structure but being an alumni let me share the details for LPU. M.A. Psychology programme seeks to provide understanding and the answers to the complexity of human behavior with broad focus on psychological testing, Psychopathology, Health Psychology, Positive Psychology and Organizational Behavior etc. 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. The university also provides with International Exposure Option where the Student may be given an option to go for 4 weeks study tour to USA/ European countries or any other country as decided by the University subject to conditions.
