LPU - Lovely Professional University

Both Lovely Professional University and Chandigarh University have strong placement records, but the comparison depends on factors like average salary, number of recruiters, and overall opportunities. In many cases, both universities perform quite closely in placements, especially for B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.

Chandigarh University has reported a very strong average placement package of about 9.54 Lacs per year in recent placement cycles, with the highest international package reaching around 1.7 crore and the highest domestic package around 54.75 lakh. Thousands of offers are made every year, and companies like Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and TCS recruit students from the CSE branch. 

Lovely Professional University also has a large placement ecosystem with more than a thousand recruiters visiting the campus and thousands of job offers every year. The average package for engineering programs, including CSE, is usually around 7 to 8 Lacs per year, while the highest packages have crossed about 60 Lacs in some placement seasons. Major companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Bosch, and TCS regularly hire students from the university. 

Overall, both universities provide good placement opportunities, but Chandigarh University currently reports a slightly higher average package. However, Lovely Professional University is known for its very large recruiter base and wide range of placement opportunities. In practice, the final result depends more on the student's coding skills, internships, and projects rather than only the university.

No, you do not need to pay the total programme fees at once at Lovely Professional University. In most programs, including MBA, the fees are usually paid semester-wise. This means you pay the fee for one semester at a time rather than paying the entire two-year fee together. For example, the MBA programme generally has four semesters, and students pay the tuition fee at the beginning of each semester according to the university's payment schedule. 

For MBA at LPU, the semester fee typically ranges around 1.4 Lacs to 2.7 Lacs per semester depending on the specialisation and scholarships received. Instead of paying the total fee of the whole programme at once, students pay this semester fee before the start of each semester. Additional charges such as examination fees may also be paid along with the semester payment. 

The university also provides flexible payment options. Fees can be paid online through net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI through the student portal. In some cases, students can also choose EMI plans offered through partner financial services to make the payment more manageable. 

So overall, students at LPU usually pay fees semester by semester rather than paying the entire course fee in one installment, which helps reduce the financial burden during the program.

Yes, you can still get admission in BBA at Lovely Professional University even if you didn't study English in your 12th, but there's a condition you should know as an LPU aspirant. Officially, the eligibility for the regular BBA programme at LPU is that you must have passed Class 12 with at least 50% aggregate marks and English as a subject or an equivalent qualification, and you may also need to qualify entrance criteria like LPUNEST or CUET UG depending on the specialisation you choose.

If your board didn't include English as a subject, you can still be eligible by submitting a certificate of medium of instruction in English from your school or board saying that your entire education was conducted in English; in that case, LPU treats your qualification as equivalent to having studied English and accepts your application. This means you don't have to worry about not having English on your mark sheet as long as your school can provide that proof of English medium education.

Some people have also reported this flexibility in practical admissions advice, but the final decision rests with the university's admission office, so make sure you have the necessary document before applying. In short, not having English doesn't automatically block your admission to BBA at LPU — what matters is whether you can provide evidence that your schooling was in English medium or an equivalent qualification accepted by LPU.
