Yes — Lovely Professional University (LPU) is commonly considered a Tier-2 university in India.

Why LPU is placed in Tier-2

India does not have an official government “tier” system, so tier labels are based on public perception, rankings, placement performance, research output, and campus resources.

LPU is usually placed in Tier-2 because:

• It has strong placements (including some very high-package international offers) but not at the consistent average level of IITs/NITs/Top private Tier-1 institutions.

• It has good infrastructure, large campus facilities, and modern labs — better than many Tier-3 colleges.

• It is NAAC A+ accredited, ranked in NIRF in various categories, and attracts students from across India and abroad.

• Research output and industry collaborations are growing but still below Tier-1 universities like IITs, BITS, VIT, Manipal, or top central universities.

Final classification (widely accepted)

• Tier-1: IITs, NIT Trichy/Surathkal, BITS Pilani, VIT, Manipal, SRM (main campus), etc.

• Tier-2: LPU, Amity, Chandigarh University, UPES, Bennett, Jain University, etc.

• Tier-3: Local/state private colleges with limited placements and exposure.

So overall, LPU is Tier-2, offering good academics, exposure, and placements for a private university.

Students at GIBS can obtain a vast array of placement packages based on their diversity within the job market. The highest salary packages offered were about 16.15 Lakhs Per Annum (LPA), which indicates how GIBS has established many strong relationships with businesses in their industry and attracts the interest from some of the best companies to work. The average package was approximately 7.8 LPA which demonstrates the consistent success students are experiencing in securing jobs after graduating from GIBS. The lowest package offered is generally around 4.5 LPA and thus, even the entry-level positions will allow new graduates to develop a stable foundation for their future success.

The employment results are a direct reflection of GIBS' emphasis upon hands-on learning, internship opportunities and the development of relevant skill sets, enabling the students to build prosperous careers across various industries, including finance, consulting, marketing, technology and other rapidly changing job markets. 

GIBS considers exam scores as an indication of a candidate's suitability for an MBA program, while GIBS also evaluates applicants' overall scores (percentile scores) rather than section cut-offs. Applicants who achieve the minimum cut-off (60–65 percentile) will be invited to participate in the next round of selection processes. The exam scores will serve as an initial screen to allow GIBS to assess the academic readiness of its MBA applicants for management studies and to provide a basis for a candidate's assessment via a combination of other assessment methods (group discussion, personal interview, and written assessment). By utilising all three methods of assessment, GIBS can evaluate the candidates' ability to communicate effectively, their levels of self-confidence, analytical capabilities, and motivation. The final selection of students will be made based on a comprehensive assessment of various elements which includes exam scores, academic performance and performance evaluations.

In case you are a student of a Rajkiya Engineering College (AKTU), and studying Electrical Engineering, then a 610 LPA placement is definitely possible, though it is primarily in the off-campus preparation. Core companies seldom visit such colleges hence you need to develop skills that will expose you to more opportunities.

1. Choose the Right Career Path

The most realistic and high-demand jobs in 6-10 LPA job are:

Software /IT (Developer, QA, Support Engineer)

Machine Learning/ Data Analytics.
The only electrical core jobs that tend to provide low packages are those that do not crack the PSUs.

2. Learn In-Demand Skills

For Software/IT:

A single language of programming: Python or C+.

On LeetCode/GFG LeetCode: Data Structures and Algorithms.

Develop 2-3 simple projects (website/app/API).

For Data Analytics/ML:

Python, SQL

Power BI/Tableau

ML basics

Such projects as solar energy prediction, load forecasting or power fault analysis (fits your branch).

3. Create a Powerful Resume and Online Profile.

One-paged resume focusing on capabilities + projects.

Active LinkedIn profile

GitHub for project code
These are more important in case of off campus recruitment because the firms are not aware of your college.

4. Go Off-Campus With a Hammer.

Use platforms like:

Naukri

LinkedIn

Indeed

Cut-offs: TCS NQT, Wipro NLTH, Infosys Hiring, Capgemini Exceller.
Majority of the AKTU pupils are placed with these.

5. Additional Skills That Help

Rudimentary ability (quant + reasoning)

Communication skills

Internship certificates (unpaid, but still)

6. Six-Month Plan

1–2 months: Python/C+ SQL
3–4 months: Projects + Resume
5-6 months: DSA + Aptitude + Mass hiring examinations.
