Good campus life with decent placements and infrastructure.
Placements: Placements in the CSE department are decent if students maintain good coding skills and communication. Around 60-70% of eligible students from our batch will get placed. The average package offered this year to our seniors is around 5-6 LPA, which is just decent for entering the industry. 
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the CSE department is quite good. Classrooms are good with projectors and Wi-Fi facilities, and computer labs have updated systems. We got some IMAC labs. The central library is large and provides plenty of resources for students. The mess food quality is average but manageable, sometimes good/sometimes average. 
Faculty: Most faculty members are helpful, qualified, and supportive, especially in technical subjects. The teaching quality depends on the professor, but overall, it's okay. You will have to study on your own as well, the teacher can't do much either. 
Other: As a current student graduating in 2028, I feel the college provides many opportunities for students who are willing to work hard and improve their skills. Participation in coding contests, hackathons, and extracurricular activities can help students make the most out of their college life.

Overall, the college is very nice.
Placements: My senior batch of 2022 to 2026 got placed in very reputable companies such as Annexure, Accenture, Amazon, etc. There are a lot of options for non-placed candidates. So, there are a lot of opportunities, and college individuals also help them.
Infrastructure: Hostels are so clean and well-maintained. The infrastructure is so nice with spacious rooms. The hostel food is hygienic and tasty, you can go for it. We have 6 hostels for girls and 3 for boys. Studios are nice, and the mess staff is also good.

It has a good infrastructure and good teachers.
Placements: Almost every student got placed here. The highest package here is 3 crores. The top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Accenture, Google, MongoDB, Infosys, and many more. I'm a first-year student, so I don't know any internships or the roles offered by the company.

There is a central library and a small library in each block. The hostel facility is good, and the food here is good.

LP University offers good placements, facilities, active campus life, but hectic academics.
Placements: LPU shows its placement rate 100%, but it's now fully true that LPU has a good opportunity of placement. The average package for the UG law programme varies between 8 and 11 LPA. Some companies, like Dhir & Dhir Associates, Areness Attorneys, Thomson Reuters, Tech Mahindra, Trident Group, recruit. You can join these companies as corporate lawyers.
Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure is good, and Wi-Fi speed is decent. The campus has strict rules and regulations. Mess food campus follows a strict vegetarian policy, non-veg is not given in every mess, and the mess quality is also decent. The department has all the facilities, library, labs and hospital.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified. The majority of teachers are excellent. As I'm doing a B.A. LL.B., the curriculum is very much relevant. A semester will not give time, it's hectic, 2-3 CA's per subject, assignments, mid-term, end-term, this all happens in one semester, exams are not that difficult.
Other: LPU has an NIRF 18th rank in law, and it's true. LPU gives you a wide range of opportunities. I can say it's better than tier 2-3 NLU, it organised a National level moot court competition, ADR LPU provides a wide range of extracurricular activities like sports, start-ups, social media and LPU events are the best, it daily has some fest going on, lots of celebrities come daily.
