For a young 10+2 student, this seems to be the most important question. Since placements are considered the top barometer of success, I will talk about the factors leading to placement. Mostly placements are considered as a standalone process. Course curriculum, it needs to be dynamic and industry consulted then; only the professionals be developed who the industry really needs. Programme delivery: Classroom teaching doesn't work anymore, it has to be an experiential learning technique. Technology training: Many times, the students do get good skill sets, but these skills are there with many people in the market, the freshers need to have exposure to tools like Oracle, Advance excel, GitHub, other MOOCs, etc. Which improves the efficiency manifold. Industry interface: To have more and more interactions with industry experts, learning things hands on and networking.
Professional enhancement: Students come from various backgrounds and cultures, they may be very good at inculcating the technical skills, but they also need to clear the interviews to take the jobs. The soft skills, communication, interpersonal and networking skills need to be inculcated in them not only for interviews but for the whole of their careers. Faculty, the faculty that develops the curriculum and delivers the programme with the right teaching pedagogy must be top-notch. Internships, entrepreneurship, community development projects etc.: They need to be an integral part of the curriculum so that students get hands-on knowledge about real-time situations in various aspects of life and business. I have 16 years of experience behind me in some of the top universities of the country in the private sector. I can surely tell you that LPU has excelled in all these factors with unflinching focus. All this has been possible because of heavy and smart investments made by it in intellectual capital. It has been passionate about achieving excellence in each and every process. And it shows in the placements when more than 700 top companies come to campus from all over the world and take thousands of students every year. They not only offer great salary packages from 5 to 42 lacs per annum but also offer the best job roles for freshers. No wonder about 100 of these companies offer more than 10 lacs as yearly packages.

LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every one of the eligible students to secure good placement. The university has been ranked highly by foreign agencies also with regard to placements of our students. Several big brands of the industry have visited the LPU campus during the academic session 2016-2017 for campus placements like Cvent, E-litmus, Talwar and Talwar Consultants, Roots Analysis Private Limited, etc. LPU students have also availed opportunities of Placements in government services like the Indian Army, the Indian Navy, Transport Corporation of India, etc., through on-campus/off-campus placement drives and SSB Interviews. Most of the companies have made us the regional hub for joint campuses.

The curriculum taught incorporates specific courses (subjects) under the notion of Professional Enhancement Programmes (PEP) in which the students are prepared to crack the placement processes. PEP classes start right away from the first semester itself in the form of Communication Skills and continue till the final semester covering: Analytical Skills (Logic Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning) Quantitative Aptitude Skills Technical Aptitude Skills Presentations and Soft Skills Mock Exercises (Mock Interviews, GDs, Mock Tests, etc.).
All a student needs to do is to maintain a good academic record and personality to ensure his/her placement. So, definitely, LPU is the best choice.
