Dear Harsha, Mechanical is not an ordinary programme. It is highly resource intensive, dynamic and difficult programme to run for the curators. The curators need to be equally dynamic as the industry is. It needs unflinching focus to run the programme according to industry. Very few universities have been able to recognize this dynamism and perfect the curriculum and its delivery for producing the well rounded professionals. LPU has excelled in almost every parameter possible in field of education. Mechanical Programs at LPU have been designed primarily to suit the needs of the students who aspire to be the future engineers, managers or entrepreneurs with a strong grounding in accounting and finance. Developing analytical, communication and decision making skills of students is an important focus area throughout the duration of the programme. The students are encouraged to undertake assignments/project work from the industry and work towards finding possible solutions to integrate their theoretical knowledge with industrial practices. Keeping in view the employment potential, in-depth knowledge is provided to the students through department electives in computer networks, artificial intelligence, databases and information systems as well as computer programming and algorithms. Some of the unique features are: 12 centers of excellence set up by industry majors themselves. Even the IITs and NITs are appreciating campus wide facilities in terms of IT. Online access to research journals, leading company annual reports and business dissertations with design analysis for ERP. Design and Development of software and databases for data analysis. Option to opt for industry relevant and industry delivered skills to enhance placement prospects. Student driven activities for leadership and technological development. Software exhibitions on applications and research projects. Back up and support by top companies for academics and curriculum like Microsoft, IBM, Cognizant etc. All this coupled with country the biggest placement extravaganza! Over 600 top companies into campus with over 60 offering 10 lacs and above makes LPU a clear leader. All this is just a tip of the iceberg. No wonder, it has been able to attract more than 30000 students, 200 universities and over 600 top companies to campus!

Engineering programmes are the heart of any institution and so is of LPU. There is no point to compare because every organisation is just doing good at their places but yes I have heard alot about LPU because of its good number of years of establishment and the rankings it possess. Last year my friend wanted to admit his son in good engineering institute. After lot of inquiry, we decided to opt for LPU. As we all know that B.Tech Mechanical Engineering is the branch of engineering that involves production, designing, and operations of machines and the main objective of LPU is to prepare students for applying the principles of mechanical engineering for designing, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. LPU provides the different areas under study such as Applied Mechanics, Machine Design, Materials Engineering, manufacturing Engineering and many more. The Mechanical Department of LPU has highly experienced and qualified staff pursuing their research in thrust areas such as CAD/CAM, Mechanical design, Thermal engineering, Fluid dynamics, Manufacturing Engineering, Tool design and Flexible Manufacturing Systems/Automation. The Department has to its credit more than 100 research publications in International, National Journals including prestigious ASME Transactions, International Conference and National Conference. The companies which have visited in LPU are Asahi Glass India Ltd, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, Anglo, Eastern Ship management, Zycus, Think and Learn, Cactus Communications, XL Dynamics, Lava International, Unisys, JET Airways, ELGI (Off Campus), Daikin Air-conditioning, Honda and many more. Apart from the placements students can pursue their career in: 1. Defence Services 2. Indian Engineering services 3. PSUs like NTPC, NHPC, ONGC etc. 4. Higher Studies like M.Tech, MBA. 5. Core Industry (Manufacturing/Design Industry) 6. Software Industry 7. Food processing Industry (Milk Plants Hope this serves your purpose and decide the right institution.

Hi, The choice of the institute depends on various factors such as placements, academics, curriculum, extra-curricular activities, exposure to the students, etc. Keeping in mind all these factors, only one institute that comes to my mind is Lovely Professional University. The LPU is a leading university with a world-class infrastructure and a faculty like the IITs. The LPU curriculum is focused on the latest developments and technical aspects that help students stay up to date. Live projects and internships in the companies add experience in the engineering graduates. Annually, a number of championships and competitions, such as Go Kart, are organized at the university to provide students with a platform for innovation and development. The packages availed by the students is Rs 7.9 LPA from Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India and Rs 7.5 LPA from Wilmar. Other companies that visit LPU for placements is Volkswagon, Voltas, Anglo-Eastern Ship Mgt. , Asahi India, Rockman (Hero group), Dharam Consulting, Samundra, Indo-MIM, Sandhar Technologies, Maruti, Lava, XL Dynamics, Asahi India, Cleanmax Solar, Elgi Equipments, etc. Thanks.

Ashish Sharma · Answer

Hi Harsha, The choice lies with you only. Both are equally good, rather nowadays private universities are putting more effort than some of the NIT's or even young IIT's. For NIT one has to crank JEE Mains whereas for LPU one can crack LPU NEST. I am not saying that LPU NEST is easier than JEE Mains or difficult. Here I just want to tell you about the value addition, Where it might be possible that LPU is putting more efforts to make Industry ready product. First of all the difference is in the specializations. LPU offers large number of industry specific specializations, highly coveted Computer Science Engineering along with the function specific ones, while you can easily count the total number of classes in NIT's. Course curriculum : While NIT's are carrying legacy only in regards Curriculum, LPU has developed and upgraded its curriculum continuously with feedback and consultations with Industry tycoons. Three striking features of LPU are Technology training's like SAP, Github, advance excel etc. , which give a clear edge to students in employability. Diversity: LPU attracts talent from all over India as well as about 70 countries across the globe. This gives a unique global perspective, social sensibilities and networking skills. Professional enhancement: LPU has a dedicated department which works in whole course duration to ensure the holistic development, soft skills, interpersonal skills, social etiquette etc. Lets SEE the placement scenario. While both boast of good placement, it is LPU which has clearer edge as more than 600 companies including large number of blue chip firms are regular recruiters from campus. The comparison is here, I suggest you check your requirements, budget (In LPU, one can get massive scholarship, which continue till last semester), specialisation options to chose the best out of two. LPU has relaxed the eligibility criteria for various programs due to COVID-19 threat to the country and introduced the scholarship of Worth Rs 20 Crore to the COVID-19 Worriers "https://www.lpu.in/admissions-2020/frontline-scholarship.php". LPU is asking to take Admissions as soon as possible to get maximum scholarship benefits. I hope this would help you.
