Which university has good placements: SRM or LPU?

Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

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. Sharing few major highlights of LPU : The Top Recruiters in the year 2019 were Microsoft, Amazon India, Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Ltd. , Cognizant Technology Solutions, Capgemini India Pvt. Ltd. , Federal Bank, Hindustan university-liver Ltd. , Synopsys India, Samsung Research Institute India, SAP Labs, Virtusa, Verizon Data Services, TCS, CEAT, Flipkart, Havells, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, Hitachi Consulting, Infineon Technologies, Kony, Nerolac Paints, P and O Cruise, Accor Hotels Group, The Oberois Group and many more. The highest salary package offered for following programmes in the year 2019: - Engineering: - Rs. 42 lacs per annum (Microsoft) Management: - Rs. 19.75 lac per annum (SOBHA Developers) Hotel Management: - Rs. 12 lac per annum (Hyatt Regency) Design: - Rs. 15 lac per annum (Trident Group) Campus placement at Lovely Professional University has always been a sought after event for the final year students. Division of Career Services sets up recruitment drives and job fairs on a regular basis. Apart from this, it also extends abundant facilities such as resume writing sessions, career advisory services, and aptitude development workshops to proffer better placement to the students. Industry leading companies, every year, come to Lovely Professional University to participate in recruitment drives. Placements are administered by a team called Division of Career Services. This team aims to help students in obtaining relevant work experience to complement their academic studies and to develop appropriate skills and knowledge to be ready to work in tandem with best minds across industries. I hope this helps.

Hi, What will the job placements? NO one talks about studies or their own skills. I agree institutes are equally responsible to make you skilled and to provide you a placements. But it is candidates own responsibility also to make himself enough capable. So that an institute can easily provide them not only one in fact more than one job opportunity. Although both the universities are private and in fact SRM is also working very well and making a lot of effort to grow in terms of Placements, Curriculum, Co-Curriculum and Extra curriculum. SRM is working equally well as LPU is doing for 2 decades. Due to LPU's Dedication and now enough experienced LPU steps ahead in providing placements and improving Curriculum at regular intervals ie; after every 6 months. I hope this will help you.

As an alumnus of LPU, I feel proud to answer this question. LPU has one of the best placement records in the whole of India and that is why students want to join LPU to get placed. Right from Google to Microsoft, LPU alumni are working with the top brands at the package of 1 crore and above. Annually, more than 450 brands come to LPU to recruit the students, where 90% of them are MNCs. Moreover, 80+ companies that recruit from IITs and NITs also recruit from LPU.

(which is really hard to get in other universities) PEP Classes- LPU provides placement classes to all the students from the very first year who opt for the placement. With the help of this, they can prepare themselves for placements till the pre-final year because the companies will start visiting for the recruitment of students from a pre-final year. Some of the students go for internships also in their final year. The Knowledge Review has rated LPU as the 10th best Training & Placement Institution in India. Recently, LPU achieved the Guinness World Records title of "the largest online video album of people saying the same sentence, " where students are thanking LPU for making them a part of its the largest PLACEMENT NETWORK!
