The CSE programme at LPU provides a contemporary curriculum that educates students on AE, ML, Data Science, Cloud computing which is critical to give students a flying start in the technology related industries. LPU maintains close tie-ups with some of the Top companies including Microsoft, Google and IBM who provide students with access to practical or hands on education. In the NIRF 2021 rankings. LPU was rated an overall 100-150 band, yet a Top 100 institution according to ratings for Vis-a-Vis engineering institutions. Chandigarh University, on the other hand is doing quite well, but LPU provides a nimble, larger platform with international secondment opportunities, Research exposure and superior infrastructure.
