Which university has better placements: SRM or LPU?

Lovely Professional University is always applauded in terms of placements. Recently LPU has been awarded with National Employability Award and Students of LPU are termed as Most Employable Students. There are two major points to be noted here, One is that Placement depends on the students equally as on the university, as student has to maintain a good academic record and should add few stars to his/her CV to land up on better placement. Secondly, University should not just focus on connecting student with the company, but should polish the student in such way that he/she is able to crack any interview easily. Being and LPU alumni, I have observed that LPU gives you ample opportunities to boost your CV and also focuses on over all development of student so that cracking any interview is a cake -walk. Many LPU students at LPU even hold multiple placement options, I am glad, I am one of those. Campus placement at Lovely Professional University has always been a sought after event for the final year students.

<p>When comparing placement opportunities between Lovely Professional University (LPU) and SRM University, LPU clearly emerges as the stronger option in terms of overall placement reach, diversity, and outcomes. LPU has built one of the largest placement ecosystems in India, attracting thousands of recruiters every year from IT, engineering, management, healthcare, design, agriculture, and many other sectors. This wide recruiter base ensures that students from almost all programs have access to meaningful job opportunities.&nbsp;LPU consistently records very high placement figures, including multiple crore-level international and domestic packages, which highlights the trust that top global companies place in the university's talent pool. A significant advantage of LPU is not just the highest packages, but the volume of offers made across average and above-average students. The university focuses strongly on mass placements as well as premium placements, ensuring better job security for a larger number of students. Many students also receive paid internships with attractive stipends, which often convert into full-time roles.&nbsp;In comparison, SRM University has a decent placement record, especially for its main campus, but opportunities are relatively more limited to specific branches and top-performing students. The scale of recruitment, number of participating companies, and variety of roles are broader at LPU.&nbsp;Another key factor is LPU's dedicated placement and career development support, which includes continuous industry training, soft-skill development, coding platforms, mock interviews, and resume-building sessions from early semesters.
