    Review of LPU - Lovely Professional University.
    Placements: In my MCA last year batch, more than half of the students had places by various companies like Essential and Capgemini, so most of the students got placed. The highest package an alumni got is 3 crore, the average is 15 LPA and the minimum package is 5 LPA. And as for recruiting companies, Google, ServiceNow, Microsoft, and many other HCL and TCS companies come for MCA recruiting. More than 50% of students already got internship on their second year from Google, TCS, etc. Top roles offered are front-end development, data science, and cybersecurity.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is absolutely stunning, with all buildings well-designed and creative. The classrooms have separate, comfortable seats with projectors, and all building blocks have Wi-Fi. The labs are equipped with high-functionality computers. The hostel buildings are good, and the dean of the college is well-behaved. Each room works properly, and the mess food quality is good. There are many canteens and a food court available, so students can move around easily and get food. The university also has its own hospital, providing medical facilities.
    Faculty: Most teachers here are PhD-level, either as assistant professors or department heads. The teaching quality is good, and all teachers use real-life examples to help students understand topics easily. The curriculum is relevant, preparing students for the industry. Additionally, they provide pep classes for all students, which offer real examples of industry work.
    Other: I pursued BCA and worked for 2 years at TCS, and now I am pursuing MCA to get higher LPA packages for my better future. As of now, everything is better here; there's nothing to improve about the course, as you will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge. The university conducts many events, including car racing, bike racing, ramp walk modeling, art, singing, hackathons, and many more. For extracurricular activities, you can also join any student club you want.

    MCA from LPU at a glance.
    Placements: Here is information about the Master of Computer Applications program at Lovely Professional University in 2021. The number of students who get placed successfully every year is 99%. The highest, lowest, and average packages of our course offered are INR 30 lacs, INR 3 lacs, and INR 9 lacs per annum, respectively. The top companies that come every year for recruiting are Meta, Zomato, and Swiggy. The roles offered are web developer, data scientist, and system analyst.
    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course have high-speed internet access available everywhere throughout the campus. The classrooms have biometrics for the attendance of the students, the food menu keeps changing now and then and the quality of the food provided to us is very decent.
    Faculty: The MCA teachers at this lovely professional university are quite qualified but they lack experience in terms of practical knowledge. The learning is mostly confined to books; practical knowledge is not imparted to the students on a day-to-day basis. Some professors are also really over-obsessed with their achievements.

    Review of Lovely Professional University.
    Placements: The top recruiting company is TCS.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very good.
    Faculty: Faculty members are neither good nor experienced. Our department has few faculty members. Semester exams are well-managed. Our college should focus more on practical knowledge. We have CA exams, mid-terms, and final semester exams. There are 10 core subjects and 3 placement subjects.
    Other: Our college is from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

    Mixed feelings for the College.
    Placements: LPU has a placement of 99%. The highest package offered was 32 LPA and the lowest was 3 LPA and the average package for MCA is 8-9 LPA. The major companies that come to LPU are the top MNCs and mass recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Capgemini and other companies like Zomato, Swiggy, etc.
    Infrastructure: In hostels, there is no option for non-veg food. For Wi-Fi, they provide jio net and you get 1 GB of data per mobile number and you can get more data using other numbers. Internet connectivity depends on where you are on campus and which operator you are using. It is good in some places and bad in others. There is also JIO 5G on campus.
    Faculty: Semester exams are not difficult in the university. There are a lot of classes so you will get very less time for self-study. As I am writing this answer I am having 6-8 classes of 1 hr every day. The timings are 9 AM - 5 PM. The courses which are taught are not updated for a long time. So they will teach you a lot of outdated concepts inside the course.

    Our college has good infrastructure and placements, but not teachers.
    Placements: As explained by one of the faculty members that in the previous year, almost 155 students were eligible for placements. Out of them, around 118 got placed. The salary package offered ranges from 3 LPA to 7 LPA. Recruiting companies are Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, etc. Most companies prefer B.tech students to MCA.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure can be rated as 5 out of 5. But I am disappointed with the hostel as it is not worth the money paid. There are also restrictions. I heard that the food quality is average. All other facilities like sports and games can be rated as 5 out of 5. Wi-Fi is provided here but is limited to students. Around 1 GB per day is provided which is not enough for students these days.
    Faculty: I would rate it 4 out of 5 because of some bad teachers. The exams are conducted properly and can be rated as 5 out of 5 for the arrangements. Semester exams are difficult for this course in most subjects. The syllabus is upgraded to latest.
    Other: I choose this course because I have done BCA and to continue my higher studies. It is better if faculty members are improved for this course. Many new faculty members are appointed for this course, especially in the last sections. Due to COVID, there is not much crowd this time, but later it must be when hybrid classes are off, and fully offline classes get started.
