I am an alumnus of LPU, but my honest opinion is based on my personal experience. LPU offers good infrastructure, faculty, academics, and placements. Though placements depend on the students’ effort and dedication, it is also a college’s responsibility to bring in good companies.
IBM, Microsoft, Google, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, Maruti, Larsen & Toubro, DLF, Nokia Siemen, Indian Navy, HDFC Bank, Ranbaxy, Royal Bank of Scotland, Tata, Wipro, Accenture, Convergys, Reliance, Dell, Taj Hotels, Provogue, Nestle, Coca Cola, Barclays, Deloitte, etc. are some of the companies that visit the LPU campus for hiring.
Moreover, LPU is positioned 50th in the NIRF 2023 Engineering Rankings.
Based on all these reasons, and out of my own positive experience of studying at LPU, I would recommend the university for higher studies.
At Lovely Professional University, you will be part of a diverse student community of over 25,000 students from various backgrounds. The university is ranked as the best engineering college in India and offers a practice-based and project-oriented approach to learning.
Here are some of the highlights of the engineering program at LPU:
You are suggested to choose LPU over IEM Kolkata for a comprehensive engineering education and a fulfilling career in the field.

An IT Expert company named Capgemini alone recruited 130+ Engineering students.
Among the top recruiters at LPU, Jalandhar are: - AMAZON, MICROSOFT, COGNIZANT, CAPGEMINI, TECH MAHINDRA, BOSCH and WIPRO to name a few.
Both LPU and CGC are good institutions, but LPU has certain factors in its favor.
LPU has better rankings, infrastructure, and placements. It was established around 20+ years ago, while CGC is a newly formed institution. Because of these reasons LPU has better rankings.
LPU is ranked 50th in the NIRF 2023 Engineering Rankings, while CGC is in the 101-150 ranking list.
Companies like Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, etc. visit the LPU campus each year for placements.
Thus, LPU is comparatively a better choice than CGC.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the accessibility. Chandigarh University is around 17 kms away from Chandigarh and there are less transportation facilities to commute from Chandigarh to the university. LPU, on the other hand is 19 kms away from Jalandhar, but the campus is established on the main route.
As far as the placement department is concerned, more than 500+ recruiters visit the campus for placements every year. BTech CSE placements at LPU recorded INR 42 lakhs as the highest salary package. Additionally, LPU had 110+ recruiters from top colleges like IITs, IIMs, and NITs. The highest monthly stipend for any kind of internship at LPU is around 80k.
So in my opinion, LPU is better for CSE than Chandigarh University.
If you are looking to pursue B.Tech in CSE, LPU is a better choice than GNDU. LPU has been offering professional education since 2001 and has a vision of providing education from local to global level and from classroom to web-based education.
Here are some reasons why LPU is a great option for B.Tech in CSE:
If you want to pursue B.Tech in CSE, based on the information shared by my friend, LPU is the best university for this course.
