Lovely Professional University Review.

Placements: The placements in our course were decent. The highest package offered in our course was 12 LPA. The average package was between 3–4 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Lupin, Sun Pharma, Mankind, etc. Around 80 percent of students got internships.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course were extremely good. All the required instruments were available for practicals. The campus was Wi-Fi enabled. Mess and canteen food were good. Medical facility was present. Multiple sports complexes were present.

Faculty: The teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of our faculty members was good. The course curriculum was relevant. The college provided the lab to gain practical experience; it depends on the student. Semester examinations were moderate.

One of the best universities with one thought of transforming education.

Placements: Our college offers good campus placements, but improvements should be made in certain courses. I got placed in Omics International Hyderabad with a minimum package of 2.90 LPA. Nearly 20-30 students got selected in the campus placements. Our college is associated with India's leading companies to offer internships to the students.

Infrastructure: LPU offers good infrastructure to the students. LPU is one of the best universities in our country. It provides laboratories, classrooms, residential facilities, medical facilities and high-class security for the students. Very few universities offer a hospital, mall, sports zone at a single place. LPU is covered over an area of 600 acres.

Faculty: LPU has highly qualified teachers who have great knowledge in their particular field of study. LPU can make a student to be disciplined. Every study material is accessible to each student with the help of University Management System-a perfect online management process, which is accessible to every single student associated with the university.

Other: Every year, we have 4-5 good events in our college. Many students from other countries come over here to study. LPU offers good scholarships to students who have a high percentage in 10+2 or graduation. Needy students can work while studying in the university campus.

Chosing LPU was the best decision of my life. It helped me grow in all the relevant areas.

Placements: 99% placement. LPU provided internship opportunities to students through its strong industry connections. When it talks about packages, they depended on the ability of the student. LPU offered students the chance to interact with companies offering a range of packages, from the lowest to the highest, such as Dr. Reddy’s, Zydus, and Abbott.

Infrastructure: LPU boasted an impressive array of facilities and infrastructure to support students academically and professionally. LPU had well-established labs, comfortable accommodation with proper food, along with medical care and a support complex for its students.

Faculty: LPU was a highly reputed university which provided highly effective teaching. The course curriculum was designed by experts and was student-oriented. If we talk about the semester exams were a little bit challenging, but faculty members made them easier by giving in-depth knowledge about concepts.

Other: I chose Microbiology due to my interest in the subject, and the reason I chose LPU was its placement facilities.

The college is good, but still, it has to improve its timetable and classes schedule.

Placements: The college quite average in terms of getting placed, but the salary packages offered are quite low. Our seniors got placed, and they were offered with salary packages around 2 to 3.5 LPA. Biocon, LifeCell and some IT-based companies visit our college for placements. There is a placement cell. The college is good and still improving in terms of placements.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are quite well-built, and labs are also average. There are good facilities for sports and games, but the college doesn't provide proper time for students to play such games because of its tendency to engage the students in classes from 9 am to 5 pm, which becomes difficult for them. Hostel rooms are in okay condition.

Faculty: Faculty members are qualified, quite helpful, and their teaching quality is average. They normally teach with the help of PPTs. I got industry exposure once in my B.Sc in the industry named Unnati. The college should provide proper exposure to students every semester, but they fail to provide.
