All, the above mentioned branches are good but it also depend on your interest and passion. EEE is the mother of all engineering branches. Being alumni of LPU and I had friends from the school of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, I will share details of labs and research facilities of LPU. Students who study EEE from LPU get an opportunity to do practical work in their field more than theoretical as LPU has Robotics and Automation lab, Bosch Lab, VLSI Lab, Power System & Power Electronics lab, DSP Lab, Robotics and Automation lab, etc. And other workshops conducted by this department such as Robotics workshop, Labview workshop, and many more.

Dear Edwin, LPU has more than 170 international university tie-ups with the worlds top countries such as the USA, Germany, UK, Italy, Australia, etc. Highlights of the programs being offered at LPU are -
Credit Transfer:
Student after successful completion of 2 years. At LPU may be given the option to join partner/ receiving university abroad for the completion of the programme subject to conditions and norms of regulatory bodies. International Exposure Option:
Students may be given an option to go for 4 weeks study tour to the USA/ European countries or any other country as decided by the University subject to conditions. Semester Exchange:
Students may be given an option to join partner/ receiving university abroad for a semester as decided by the University subject to conditions. LPU connects you to Top 200 Universities Across the Globe! The International Tie-Ups across the globe provide opportunities to the students to visit institutions under various Study abroad programs. Lovely Professional University provides the opportunity of summer schools/winter schools for its students. These programs generally happen in the summer vacations or winter vacations of the academic year. A summer/winter school is a form of educational programme that offers courses, both academic and non-academic. These programs lead to firsthand experience rather than theoretical knowledge. Students can have the best of both worlds, have international exposure without disturbing their academic schedule. Courses usually last from one to six weeks. Benefits of International Exposure Programme -
Summer/Winter Schools are generally run by expert faculty in their particular field. Hence the applicant would gain academically quite a lot. Make new friends. Summers Schools are attended by students around the world hence meeting new people and making new friends. Connections with the faculty for your higher education. Budget-Friendly. This means the students who are interested in getting InternationalExposure can with fewer budgets apply for these summer /Winter School Programs. Learning the culture of the new country and sightseeing, as this kind of summer/winter programme includes cultural excursions and visiting places of historical importance. For more information, you can refer to the official Website of LPU. I hope this helps
Thanks!

Mechanical Engineering provides a broad foundation in all aspects of mechanical design: mechanics, power, control, and manufacturing. Mechatronics Engineering emphasizes the design of electro-mechanical devices ranging from large-scale automated manufacturing systems to micro-scale sensors and instrumentation.
As per my experience, LPU is the best engineering college in India. LPU becomes the best place to pursue an engineering degree with highly qualified teaching staff, the best laboratories, and modern technologies. LPU provides abundant opportunities for students to think out of the box.
School of Mechanical Engineering is the best Mechanical Engineering college in Punjab, India equipped with 40+ labs and modern machining to provide an extra edge to the existing curriculum which focuses on developing a strong basic knowledge.

Mechatronics Engineering is a course you need to do, only if you are really into robotics and other mechanical aspects. The need for Mechatronics Engineers are increasing. The main advantage of pursuing Mechatronics Engineering is that you get to cover Mechanical, Electrical and computer Engineering, In my point of view this can set you up in a good firm with a good salary. If you are confused between taking Mechatronics Engineering and Computer Engineering with AI and ML. I would say to take Mechatronics Engineering as your degree programme and to do Computer Engineering with AI and ML as a certification degree or Post Graduation programme. Take your time, look into everything yourself and select the programme that suits you
Best of luck, David Jill Joseph
