Should I go to LPU (Lovely Professional University) or Manipal University Jaipur for a B.Tech (IT)?
As a former student of B.Tech IT at LPU, I can only provide information about my own college. Here are a few benefits of joining LPU for your B.Tech IT-
- Scholarships - LPU offers scholarships to those who perform well in 12th grade or various entrance exams. These scholarships continue for the entire B.Tech course. This brings down the course fee for meritorious students by a great extent.
- Placements- The university performs quite well in IT placements. Companies like HTC and Cognizant visit the campus for mass recruitments, and offer decent salary packages to CSE and IT graduates. Other companies recruit a lesser number of students, but they offer handsome salary packages. For a hardworking IT student, LPU offers good placement opportunities.
- Faculty- The IT faculty is decent, and some of the teachers are very good.
- Exposure- LPU is home to students from various parts of the country, and thus, it offers excellent exposure. Each student gets a platform at LPU to enhance their skills and learn new things.
These are some of the many reasons I chose LPU for my B.Tech IT.
