good college better than many private college,high crowd but many great opportunites
Learning Experience: Course content is good.Teacher teaches as per their planned course,they teach us from ppts which common in every college but many teachers are good her expect some.i had to study from online resources like online lectures.the university provides labs and learning platform.
Placements: placements are average as compared to many top colleges but reason is high crowd and quality of crowd studying here but if you have skills you can crack companies visiting here.Some well known companies visit here but competiton is very high due to large number of students here.There is placement cell here which conducts training sessions which are very helpful if you take it seriously.Securing good placement depends on you more than the college role.
Faculty: There is mix of good and average teacher,due to large number of students ,there is many faculty staff which affects quality of teachers and quality of lecture.Curriculum is somewhat updated and they don't put high syllabus on us.Regular assesments are given which are hectic but it has also pro side it helps in maintaining consistency in studies.
Course Support: Course support is good but not very great.LPU provides us support through faculty,mentors and online resourses and portals.you can ask doubt to teachers after class,they are helpful and respond to us.There are doubt clearing and extra classes tooo which are very useful.You can book appointment to mentor,HOD etc for more support.

Satisfied with the course and would recommend it if you have low expectations.
Placements: All the students got placed. Fewer students in our batch make it easier for the placement cell to get us all placed. I was hired as a trainee at Zydus Healthcare Limited. Most of my batchmates were hired for 5 LPA in Amber Enterprises, most of us got at least 2 offer letters.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and other infrastructure are the best parts of the university. The quality of food in hostels is pretty bad, to be honest, so I wouldn't recommend taking them, but there are food stalls from different parts of India if you need to have some food from your hometown. Also, Domino's and other brands like Subway are present on campus.
Faculty: Teachers are fine, not great, not bad. The teaching quality is the same, but they put in efforts to get us placed and know each one of us individually, which is a great thing. The curriculum is so advanced as compared to local government colleges since they focus on our soft skills and programming language training from semester 1, so we are ready for both core and non-core jobs.
Other: I chose this course because my maternal uncle is also working in this field, and I was pretty sure I'd like this field, working with machines, designing stuff. The things I wished could have improved are that if the courses were more practical and hands-on, with more industrial training, it would have helped us understand the subjects much more easily. The college fests and crowd are the best part about the campus, if u need to have a good student life, I guess LPU is one of the best in India to have so, it's so culturally rich.

Review of LPU - Lovely Professional University.
Placements: In our college, placements are pretty good, but the competition is very high. Our college received so many admissions this year, which is nearly 50 thousand. There is a scope for our batch that we can get better placements if we work hard. For our course, there are low placements. In biotechnology, there are a few core jobs. If we need a well-paying job, then we need to work so hard.
Infrastructure: I can't say that the infrastructure is awesome. Our course blocks are clean and well-managed inside. The outside look is average. But the winning facilities are top grade. There is a Good Wi-Fi speed, which is nearly 10 GB per second, but in working hours, it is 2 to 3 GB per second. It is the same in the hostel as well.
Faculty: Our faculty members are the best. I cannot guarantee that every teacher is the same, but I can say we can often find good faculty members. Good ones always help students in research papers, patents, and exams as well. They give us good pointers for exams, and exams are top in our college. They are conducted very strictly and securely. The paper will be tough, and we need knowledge to answer it.
Other: I chose this course because I love my course. Biotechnology is my dream, and I can say I chose one of the best colleges for it. My course offers the best output for students. I am learning serious knowledge in science and technology. In biotech, we learn not only about Science but also about computers and AI. I wish that our college would improve its practical and industrial knowledge. Our course requires it a lot. All extracurricular activities conducted are good. Events are conducted frequently for students to join.
