Selection of centers can be made from 200 spots scheduled throughout the country.

4) LPUNEST is a chance to join nationally and internationally benchmarked LPU programs. Engineering students at LPU get opportunity to participate in exchange programs with prestigious 50+ International Universities. Students also get a lifetime opportunity to meet global players like Larry Page, Sundar Pichai and more, as LPU’s previous students got.

5) LPU diversity ensures that national & international students learn a lot from one another by being together during studies and all allied activities. Vibrant life of LPU prepares students with better perspective to face the world easily.

Almost 300+ multinational & national companies hire LPU students. Top officials of well-known corporate houses visit campus regularly for recruitments and guest lectures.

7) LPU is offering not only conventional engineering streams/ majors but also one of its kind trend setting streams/majors transforming engineering education to leap into the next leg of technology upbeat. Other than the conventional streams like ECE,CSE, IT, Civil, Mechanical etc. some new streams like Mechatronics, Automobile engineering, Food Process Engineering are also offered. One of the unique features is the concept of Major/ Minor courses even at the undergraduate program level. The concept is a common practice in foreign universities but in India the trend is slowly catching up. LPU is the torch bearer in this case, having the futuristic approach that it has, adopted the concept very early in its curriculum.

Following are the examples of such minors: Cyber security, 3-D animation, mechatronics, HR, Finance, Robotics & automation. The advantages of taking minors are as under

a) To apply the inter-disciplinary knowledge gained through a Major + Minor

b) Minor in IT (Information Technology) enhances placements prospects in the ever growing IT industry

c) Provides an opportunity to students to become entrepreneurs and leaders by taking business/ management minor

d) Combination in the diverse fields of engineering e.g., CSE (Major) + Electronics (Minor) combination increases placement prospects in chip designing companies

e) Provides an opportunity to Applicants to pursue higher studies in an inter-disciplinary field of study

f) Provides opportunity to the Applicants to pursue interdisciplinary research

g) To increase the overall scope of the undergraduate degrees

9) Ultra-modern laboratories are one of the major pillars which give strength to LPU Engineering programs. A full range of resources ranging from i-MAC Apple Lab to VLSI Lab for electronics, to 3-D printers & Automobile engineering labs in Mechanical are there is LPU to give its students ample opportunity to gain hands-on experience and be industry ready. The practical knowledge helps in giving the students a head start when they are recruited by any company.

10) World-class ultra-modern completely wi-fi campus with students from 29 states & 26 countries of the world, housing more than 25,000 students is an example of diverse culture & experiential learning.
