B.Tech

For B.Tech CSE, I'd personally lean towards Galgotias if you want better value for money and Delhi-NCR exposure. Galgotias' current B.Tech CSE tuition is ₹1.64 lakh/year, and you also get plenty of options for technical activities, projects and internships.  LPU has a much larger campus ecosystem, so it can be a good choice if you specifically want that experience. But imo, moving to Punjab for 4 years isn't necessary just for CSE if you already have Galgotias as an option. If your priority is CSE + career opportunities + NCR location + reasonable cost, I'd pick Galgotias.

For B.Tech CSE, Galgotias University has regular placement drives and students get opportunities to apply for different IT and technical roles. The university reports an overall average package of around ₹5.4 LPA, but the actual package can vary depending on the student's skills, preparation and the company. Students who build good technical skills, work on projects and gain internship experience can make better use of the placement opportunities.

Not qualifying JEE Main does not mean B.Tech CSE is out of reach. LPU can be considered if the focus is on building coding skills along with practical learning. The CSE curriculum includes industry-oriented learning, projects and exposure to current technologies. Career outcomes also show students getting placed in companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Juspay. Still, placements depend a lot on individual coding skills, projects, internships and interview preparation, so those areas should be taken seriously from the first year.

From what I've seen, Galgotias University has a decent faculty base for B.Tech CSE, with teachers and departments supporting academics as well as technical learning. Placement opportunities are also available across software and IT roles. Your own DSA, coding, projects and interview preparation will make a big difference.

Galgotias University is far superior to LPU for B.Tech CSE due to its strategic Delhi-NCR location providing direct access to top tech hubs, an elite A+ NAAC accreditation, and unmatched industry integration with giants like Amazon and Accenture.

LPU offers B.Tech (Hons.) options across several engineering areas, including specialisations related to Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Data Science, Cyber Security, Electronics & Communication, and Mechanical Engineering.

IIT Tirupati had around 195 companies participating in placements in 2025–26, with an overall placement rate of about 81%. The official report covers different branches together, so I wouldn't rely on random websites for a separate CSE figure unless IIT Tirupati itself confirms it. If you're mainly looking at CSE and placements, LPU is also worth considering because it offers CSE with different specialisations and a large recruiter network. I'd compare the actual course, placement data, fees and opportunities rather than looking at the IIT tag alone.
