These numbers vary from year to year, but to provide you with a fair image, around 1000 students, on average, change their branch in B. Tech at LPU.

If seats are available, you can change your branch free of cost, but if you wish to change it for the second time, you need to pay INR 1000 for the same, and the third time, it will be INR 2000, at the same time, you need to restart from the first year of the new branch.

There might be some flexibility for changing BTech programs on admission day at LPU, but it's not guaranteed. Here's why: 

1. Limited Spots: Each B.Tech program has a specific number of available seats. If the program you're interested in is already full, switching on admission day wouldn't be possible.
2. Verification Process: Changing programs might require additional verification of your eligibility for the new program. This could involve checking your grades or entrance exam scores Before your admission day, reach out to the LPU admissions department. Explain your interest in switching programs.

For the 2021 graduating batch, there were about 6,000 students in b.tech cse/it only. Although there are a lot of admissions for B.Tech CSE, around 6000-8000, the university efficiently manages this with its highly qualified staff and proper division of strength into different sections. So, there is no need to worry. And for BTech courses, including all the branches, there are more than 20,000 students.

You must appear for LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test) to get admission into the University. There are regular schedule cancelling, which is solely based on LPUNEST scores, and special schedule cancelling, where JEE MAINS or LPUNEST scores are considered. However, LPUNEST will also help provide scholarships to students of different ranks. Therefore, it is the preferable mode of getting admission into the university.

I studied B.Tech ECE from LPU from 2018-2022. Here are some of the top companies that visit the department with job opportunities during placement season-

• Inferno offers around 12 LPA package to ECE students
• Trident Group offers 15 LPA
• Think and Learn offers 9 LPA
• Bosch Home Appliances Group offers 5 LPA
• HPE offers 5 LPA
• Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions offers around 5 LPA
• Other than the companies mentioned above, here are some other top recruiters for ECE students from LPU-

Amazon, Wipro Alight Solutions, Sagacious IP, Cognizant, Cap-Gemini, Emrill, NTT Data, Hitachi, HCL Technologies, and Extra Marks Private Limited.

ECE graduates get good placement opportunities at LPU. You can consider this university for your degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering.

My sister graduated with a B.Tech Aerospace degree from LPU in 2020. This answer is based on her personal experience.

The LPU administration takes good care of its students’ needs, and provides various cultural and academic programs for them. My sister’s batch of 2016 was the first Aerospace batch at LPU. There were around 55 students in her batch in total. 

The Aerospace faculty is dedicated towards the students’ welfare. They work hard and regularly motivate their students to publish research papers. Moreover, they make every effort to open up great internship opportunities for their students. 

Aerospace is a relatively new field in India, and many people don’t know much about it. So it is the students’ responsibility to work hard if they want a bright career in Aerospace Engineering. The paid internships for Aerospace are much fewer as compared to CSE.

LPU is excellent for exposure and growth, but you should first consider the universities in South India for courses in Aerospace. As far as North India is concerned, LPU and CU both offer B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering.

LPU conducts two types of placement drives: Joint Placement Drives and Normal Placement Drives. In Joint Placement Drives, multiple colleges/universities and LPU organize the drive, allowing students from those institutions to participate. The minimum eligibility criterion for Normal Placement Drives by LPU is a CGPA of 5.0 (50%).

Different companies have specific eligibility criteria; for example, Company A may require a CGPA of 7.0 or above with no backlogs. Company B may accept students with a CGPA of 6.5 or higher and a maximum of one backlog.

LPU automatically registers eligible students for upcoming company placements, with a one-day window to deregister if uninterested. Company visits are announced daily on the LPU Touch App, which provides details such as the registered student list, location, and reporting time.

Students facing issues regarding a specific company placement can inform the placement coordinator. Proper formal attire, including the LPU logo blazer, full-sleeve pastel-coloured shirt, matching pants, tie, formal shoes, and well-groomed appearance, is mandatory for all students attending placements.

The highest package offered to B.Tech CSE students at LPU stands at INR 3 Crore per Annum (approx. USD 364,000), secured by a student in 2022 at a global MNC in Germany. LPU receives participation from top recruiters. Google offered the highest domestic package of INR 64 Lacs per Annum (approx. USD 77,700) in 2023. As of 2024, the highest package is 1 Crore per Annum. The placement drive is ongoing for the batch of 2023-24.

The university starts the campus placements in the pre-final/final semester, and top recruiters include Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Flipkart, Cognizant, and Infosys. The highest package offered to the student is INR 26 lacs per annum. The university also provides scholarships and study loan assistance. LPU prepares its students for placements through special efforts such as placement classes. LPU has high-tech labs and studios for student benefit, enhancing their learning experience.

LPU offers a BTech CSE course. The syllabus of BTech CSE at LPU blends industry-relevant projects, academics, and good placement opportunities. Pavan Kunchala from the 2022 batch of BTech CSE was offered an INR 1 crore package via LPU placements.

From the 2023 placement data that I have, the highest package secured by a CSE student was INR 54.7 lakh, followed by a Mechanical Engineering student securing the highest package of INR 54.9 lakh.

It is not just about more than just a few students getting placed with average CTCs from a private college like LPU. More than 1500 students in 2023 got placed at CTC above INR 10 Lakh with 220+ different companies. While more than 5000+ students from the class of 2023 were placed at CTC INR 5 Lakhs. Not only this, the profile diversity is also good at LPU. More than 500 companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Cognizant, Accenture, Bosch, IBM, Samsung, and more.
