The LPU student who received the record-breaking ₹2.5 crore placement package is Sri Vishnu, a final-year B.Tech student from the 2025 graduating batch. Multiple national news outlets reported that he secured this exceptional offer from a top global robotics and automation company, marking one of the highest engineering placement packages in India for a fresh graduate. Sri Vishnu's achievement has become a major highlight of LPU's placement season, showcasing the university's strong industry connections and emphasis on practical, project-based learning. According to news reports, he had a strong academic profile, participated in several research-driven projects, and was trained under LPU's Career Development Centre, which provides mock interviews, aptitude preparation, coding practice, and mentorship. His placement success also reflects LPU's growing presence in high-tech sectors like AI, robotics, and automation. The university stated that hundreds of students are now securing international placements or working with leading companies in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe. The ₹2.5 crore package not only brought national attention to LPU but also proved that top-tier placements are possible beyond IITs and NITs, provided students have strong skills and exposure to industry-oriented training.

So while LPU doesn't yet feature among the world's top ~100 universities overall, it is globally ranked within recognised bands and has strong showings in innovation and impact-oriented rankings.
