For B.Tech CSE, I'd lean towards Thapar Institute if you get a comparable branch at both. Thapar generally has a stronger engineering-focused reputation and placement ecosystem, while LPU can be more attractive if you're getting a significantly better scholarship.For scholarship, compare the actual scholarship amount/eligibility and your net 4-year fee, rather than just the percentage offered.

Among these, I'd lean towards Thapar Institute for MBA, especially if you're looking for a stronger overall academic environment and brand value. LPU is another option worth considering, while Galgotias, GLA and Sharda can make sense depending on fees, specialization and location. I'd compare the MBA placements, fees, specialization and ROI before making the final choice.

Yes, Thapar University offers a few B.Sc. specializations, but if your interest is Fashion Design, I'd honestly suggest having a look at LPU too. The programme gives students exposure through fashion shows, live industry projects, internships, and portfolio development, with placement opportunities in leading fashion and retail brands. Also, LPUNEST scholarships can also help reduce the overall fee.

If you're checking B.Tech placements at Punjabi University Patiala, I'd say don't judge only by the highest package. The university does have a placement and career support system, and B.Tech students do get opportunities through companies visiting the campus.

But if placements and industry exposure are your main priorities, I would also consider LPU. LPU has a much larger placement ecosystem, with companies like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, Accenture and Capgemini visiting for recruitment. There are also opportunities for internships, training and industry interaction.

As a student, I'd suggest comparing the branch-wise placement record, ave

Diploma is a good option if you want to enter the technical field earlier and focus more on practical skills. A degree like B.Tech is better if you want wider career options, higher-level roles, or plan to pursue M.Tech later.For example, LPU offers both Diploma and B.Tech programmes, so you can choose based on your qualification and career plan. Personally, I'd prefer B.Tech CSE for long-term growth, but Diploma can also be a good starting point.
