Colleges in India

If you're comparing LPU and Chandigarh University for B.Tech, the answer depends on what you're looking for as a student.

On paper, Chandigarh University currently holds a higher NIRF Engineering ranking, while LPU is also among the top-ranked engineering institutions in Punjab and India.

What I usually suggest is looking beyond rankings. A good B.Tech experience comes from strong labs, industry exposure, coding culture, internships, research opportunities, and placements. Both universities offer these, but many students are drawn to LPU because of its large and diverse campus environment, industry collaborations, scholarship opportunities, and flexibility in choosing specializations and skill-enhancement courses.

For a student who wants a vibrant campus life along with engineering academics, LPU can be a strong choice. I've met students who appreciated the exposure they got through hackathons, projects, internships, and interactions with peers from across India and abroad.

So rather than asking "Which is better?", ask "Which environment will help me grow more?" For many aspiring engineers, that answer often matters more than a few ranking positions.
