Faculty: All faculty members was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were always ready to help and guide students in clearing their doubts. All staffs were well expertise in their fields. Teaching quality of most of the staff was very good. Most of the time they use power point presentation to make us understand and sometimes even video. The curriculum designed was very useful.

LPU is one of the best universities in terms of faculty, extracurricular activities and placements.

Placements: Placements in our college are very good, especially the on-campus placements. I got placed in a reputed MNC named Poly Medicure. The placement drives conducted are very student-friendly. The teachers and mentors are very helpful. They provide a vision for campus placements. The salary packages offered are very attractive, especially in the MBA stream, and it varies depending on your skills. They also provide a platform for students to do internships.

Infrastructure: LPU provides exposure to every student both in academic as well as co-curricular activities. Wi-Fi facilities in LPU are very good. Classrooms are neat and equipped with projectors. LPU has a huge central library where students can find any book. The library also has computers for internet surfing and research purposes. LPU students are always engaged with several sports activities and showcase their talent. Duty leaves are provided to those students to cover up the academic loss if any.

Faculty: Faculty members in the college are very good and are friendly. They are helpful. They all are highly qualified with a PhD in their respective subjects. They show gratitude towards students and are always willing to help students. If students have any complaint, they can say it to their respective class mentor. They can help in resolving the queries of students. Faculty members also help the students in preparing for various competitive exams.

Other: The campus crowd is increasing day by day. But, it is a good opportunity to meet students from different fields and different cultures. Scholarships are provided to every student, and it is known as LPU-NEST. It is quite easy to get and can give fees reimbursement to all. One India and other such events are organised by LPU on a large scale for students to enjoy the cultural diversity and to remember our cultural heritage.
