B.Tech

Well, having been a follower of the engineering college scene going on for some time in Haryana and Delhi-NCR, I feel that the “best” college really depends on the students' personality and what they precisely want to achieve after they come out of engineering.

Some students are looking for Government colleges' prestige and ROI, while some are interested in good infrastructure, exposure in the industry and specialisation in the private colleges.

There are some very good Reputed Government colleges in Haryana which are very well known among the engineering students like NIT Kurukshetra, YMCA Faridabad, DCRUST Murthal, IIIT Sonepat, MDU Rohtak.

But the private colleges/universities is another story. Some are opting for BML Munjal due to industry collaborations, some for the fact that the college is located in Gurgaon and a few for the campus exposure and student life that Amity University and SRM University offer. 

A university that I've been hearing more about recently is Geeta University, Panipat especially for Computer Science & Engineering.

My younger cousin took admission there last year, and according to him, their School of Computer Science & Engineering is focusing heavily on industry-oriented specializations rather than only traditional engineering subjects. They have dedicated track which honestly is something you don't see very often in regional private universities.These specializations are:

• AI & ML

• Cybersecurity

• Full Stack Development

• Data Science with HCL

• Quantum Computing

Another thing that stood out to me was their collaboration ecosystem. From what I've read, they have Centers of Excellence with platforms and companies like AWS, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, GitHub and Red Hat Academy. Apparently students are encouraged to work on certifications, projects, hackathons and internships quite actively through their Geeta Technical Hub (GTH) initiative. GTH's main function is to fill the gap between Industry and Academia, they have:

• 3,000+ Global Certifications

• 150+ Projects Delivered

• Conducted 25+ Hackathons

• Secured 500+ Internships

• 100% Skill-First Mentorship

Placement-wise too, while the average package range is naturally in the normal bracket for most students, some individual outcomes have been genuinely impressive. I came across names like Vaibhav Arora securing a package around ₹1.40 crore with a US-based company, along with other students getting high-paying opportunities in firms like EY and other Big 4.

I'm not saying it has suddenly overtaken established institutions like NITs, but compared to many average private colleges, it does seem like Geeta University is trying to create a much more skill-focused environment for CSE students.

At the end though, engineering is one field where the student's own efforts matter the most. Students who continuously improve their coding skills, internships, communication and project portfolio usually perform well regardless of the college they come from.

Yeah, Lovely Professional University is usually seen as a decent option for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, especially if a student is kind of looking for practical exposure , modern labs, a more industry leaning style of learning, and fairly solid placement chances. They do provide workshops, CAD/CAM training, robotics and automation exposure, plus internships , industrial visits and a lot of project-based learning, so students can build real engineering hands-on abilities along with the theory part. Also, recruiters from manufacturing, automobile, production, and design sectors tend to come to the campus, and honestly the students who keep working on software tools, doing projects, gaining certifications, and taking internships typically get the best outcomes.

Overall it feels more fitting for students who are willing to keep leveling up their technical and practical skills over time, rather than only relying on classroom academics alone.

For lateral entry in B.Tech Mechanical Engineering at Lovely Professional University you typically need a 3 year Diploma in Engineering (Mechanical , or a closely related stream) or a B.Sc. (Non Medical) from a recognized place, with the necessary aggregate marks, usually near 60% or a bit above. With lateral entry, you usually step into the B.Tech in the 2nd year, that is 3rd semester, without repeating the first year part. Admission is commonly through LPUNEST (LET – Lateral Entry Test) but in a few scenarios strong marks in the qualifying diploma can give some relaxation , or scholarship type benefits. The overall workflow is mostly online registration, then the application form fill up, uploading diploma certificates, then taking LPUNEST/LET if it is asked, and after that, finishing counselling plus fee payment after you get selected.

Yes, it's still possible to get admission to B!Eligibility and application rules will vary from year to year and programme to programme for the selection to Tech CSE at Lovely Professional University. LPU is known for its opportunities with many student potents and for its skills development and future growth – beyond the marks.

In most cases, LPU will have a stipulation that candidates must meet a certain minimum level of requirements in a specific 12th standard course at any institution, including math, physics, English and other course. Even though this seems a tad bit lower, you can improve the odds by taking the entrance examination as well as the scholarship examination of LPUNEST – the entrance examination to the university. If you do well in the LPUNEST exam, there may be financial benefits and scholarships that you can receive.

Great placements condition of LPU, modern course of study and at the same time the educational environment which helps students a lot are all the strengths of LPU. The university serves students with technical skills as it has courses available for coding, AI, cyber security and software developing. Starting from LPU, with a hardworking attitude you will be able to become a successful engineer.
