Parul University’s library is equipped with over 2 lakh books, 300+ magazines and journals, 8,000+ ebooks and 30,000+ e-journals. The students are given easy access to all these journals and ebooks. We also have a Book Bank Scheme, where we can easily borrow books for one academic year or semester.

The campus life here at Parul University is vibrant. I belong to the Southern state, but I never felt out of place here at Parul University. You can spend your time at the library, food corners, gym or playing sports. We also have a lot of festivals and fests going on, the whole year. Some of the most sought-after events are Dhoom, Tech fests, Hackathons, IIMUN, etc.

As a current MBA student at Parul University, let me list some of the top events that we have in our university.

• Dhoom: This is the annual cultural festival at PU which allows students to showcase their creative sides.
• Navratri: This is held annually at our campus where students can have lots of fun and dance their hearts out.
• Tech Fest: The tech fests are held twice a year, and the best one is held in February.
• IIMUN: At this event, performers, corporate visionaries, philanthropists, spiritual leaders, and members of the military service speak to the young students and we have a fantastic evening with live performances by well-known dance companies and vocalists.

Hey, I am a student at LPU. LPU has a huge library system with 11 branches. The Central Library is the biggest one, located in Block 37. More than 24 lakh books and e-books in all subject fields are available in the library. You can avail of the facility of using journals, magazines, and newspapers. The library system at LPU also provides ICT-based resources to its students, such as e-books, e-journals, and databases.

LPU provides practical learning to its students through summer training, compulsory internships, ‘on-the-job’ training, study tours, and industry live and entrepreneurial projects. Including all these, LPU also provides events and workshops that are included in the LPU’s curriculum. 

LPU also provides field visits or projects through industry internships with corporate giants like Cognizant, Microsoft, Infosys, ABB, and ISRO. Students at LPU can get exposure to real work environments and also get the opportunity to use their learning in real-life projects.

As a student who changed states to study here at Parul, let me answer your question. The university is around 15-18 km away from the main city so forget about renting a PG. The daily commute will be very difficult for you if you decide to live in a rented flat or room in the city. 

The best choice you can make is to stay in the hostel itself, which I have done. Here inside the campus, you’ll get all sorts of facilities, so you need not worry about going to the city.

As a current student enrolled at Parul University, let me list some of the top facilities provided in our classrooms below.

• LED screens
• Projectors
• Audio-visual system with OHP and PA
• Whiteboard
• Soft board
• Smartboard
• Wifi facility

Here at Parul, we have a weekly exam now and then to routinely check our understanding of the classes. We have the mid-term exam after 1.5 months of the commencement of class, and the end-semester exam after 5 months or so. The exams are comprised of theory, assignment submission, viva and practicals.

With regular study and practice, you’ll find that the exams are not that hard to ace.

Of course, LPU incorporates practical training through various internships, training, and workshops to enhance career prospects.

• Summer training and internships: LPU offers summer training and full-term optional or compulsory internships. 
• Industry Projects: LPU offers to work directly with the industry on real-time and entrepreneurial projects.
• Industry Visits and Field Trips: LPU frequently organises industry visits and field trip opportunities to work with different industries.
• On-site experience: LPU offers an on-site experience to its students through industry internships at MNCs and organizations like Cognizant, Microsoft, Infosys, ABB, and ISRO. 

I am a student at VIT Vellore, so I can only comment on my college. Here are some reasons why I chose VIT Vellore for my engineering degree-

1. Academics- VIT Vellore follows FFCS (Fully Flexible Credit System) for academics. As the name suggests, this system of education is very flexible as one gets to choose one’s subjects and faculty based on the opinion gathered from friends and seniors. One can either take morning lectures or evening lectures as per one’s choice.
2. Extracurricular- There is always some activity going on in the VIT campus at all times. There are multiple clubs at VIT Vellore, and one can become a member of any of them.
3. Campus Life- The campus life of VIT is full of fun experiences. Apart from the flexible academic system, one gets to live in a campus that is simply beautiful. Other than that, every six months the university organizes tech and cultural fests. I have been a part of Gravitas and Riviera, and both of them offered extraordinary experiences. 
4. Placements- As for engineering placements, a lot of companies visit the VIT Vellore campus for recruitments. Then there are several IT companies that intake candidates from all engineering branches at VIT Vellore. These are- Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, and TCS. Apart from job placements, VIT Vellore gives deserving students an opportunity of foreign internships. 

These reasons are enough to explain why I preferred VIT Vellore for my engineering studies. I would recommend you consider VIT as it has a lot of opportunities and facilities to offer.
