Our college provides faculty members who encourage new ideas and develop the skills of students.

Placements: Companies that were on the list of placements might differ with the percentage of students. Students of the list might vary from the companies list. They also give a chance for the students who are already selected for the other companies.

Infrastructure: The quality of the food served varies from one hostel to another. The food court is a private one, so the taste of the food served is good and better. Cleanliness maintained here is very good. Students have access to the Wi-Fi facility for which every student is provided with a different password.

Faculty: Faculty members of the design course are well-groomed and trained. But some teachers are not well trained, while some became professors and got a diploma and masters certificate due to their explanation skills and creative skills. The course curriculum is relevant, and students are almost ready for the industry.

Other: Our university doesn't focus on earning money, and it is worth it. I chose this course because I want to become an architect.

Answered 19 hours ago

Honestly, there isn't one universal winner here. Both can be considered, but the better choice depends on what you want from your MBA.

I'd compare them on specialisation, fees, campus exposure, internships, industry interaction and placement opportunities rather than relying only on rankings.

For B.Tech CSE, I'd personally lean towards Galgotias University. Being in Greater Noida gives you access to the NCR tech ecosystem, internships, hackathons and off-campus opportunities. LPU has a bigger residential campus experience, but unless you specifically want to spend four years living in Pu
