The campus life is too good.

Placements: Top roles would be sales and human resources roles, which are common to all streams. Others would be an intern, food product developer, processing intern, or quality control associate. Bd Agro, Nestle, and Hunger Box are the main recruiters in our university.

Infrastructure: Mess has different varieties of food available with hygiene. WiFi is available on campus and in the hostels. Classrooms have Wi-Fi and smart projectors for classes. Labs and libraries are well equipped with all the needs, and there's a person to guide.

Faculty: Teaching quality is excellent. There's a guide to help us with research dissertation work. Also a personal mentor who will sort academic and non-academic problems. Exams are moderate, but we should obviously study. Teachers provide us with enough material.

Other: All cultures and festivals are celebrated encouraging one another. The crowd is so cheerful and positive. Scholarships make it easy for us to afford the study and campus life.

I am absolutely satisfied.

Placements: LPU is good in terms of placements, but for M.Sc. food science and technology, it's was quite low as compared to other courses. It provides more placements for B.Tech as you know the highest salary package offered is 45 LPA. In the year 2019, it got ICAR recognition for B.Sc. and M.Sc. agricultural courses. It has a very tough examination system, and they provide good facilities for lab work. So it is a good choice for you.

Infrastructure: There are many types of the hostel, and it was started from 12-sharing dormitory to single sharing rooms and apartment. It provides all states local food, i.e., south Indian and North Indian. They provide air-conditioners and coolers according to the money charged. They will provide a specific amount of electricity per year for every student.

Faculty: Teachers in our college were helpful all the time. They are qualified and graduates. LPI recruits teachers who have good knowledge. Teaching was good, and they explain concepts in English mostly. The course curriculum is relevant. LPU makes students ready for industry work, mainly because it provides lab work.

Other: I have chosen this course because of my interest and scope. They should provide more practical work and free internships. A lot of events are conducted every day, and we get to know about them through the university app. Every special fest will be conducted by LPU. There are more than 30,000 students in LPU. The college has a lot of tie-ups with MNCs and national companies. The campus is covered with agricultural fields. LPU conducts all extracurricular activities, and it also provides scholarships for national-level candidates.
