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 not satisfied with placements and course curriculum but it has good faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: In B.Tech and MBA departments, more than 80% of students got placed. But for M.Sc. students, there are very few placement opportunities. For internships, only 40% of students got internships. Top recruiters are Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc. But they all hire B.Tech students only. For M.Sc., students, there are no good placements.

Infrastructure: In LPU, the infrastructure of our course is very good, and they provide free Wi-Fi. But the residential fee is very high. They provide good food in the mess at low prices, and they also provide gym and sports facilities at a little cost. They provide excellent labs for practicing.

Faculty: All the teachers are helpful. Most of the lecturers are Ph.D. holders, and they have good knowledge. I can rate the course curriculum 4 out of 5. I am a student of Master's in statistics and data analytics. For data analyst, SQL is very important, but it was missed in my course curriculum. The rest is good.

Other: I chose this course for doing something new.

It is a good campus with good infrastructure.

Placements: There are less opportunities for M.Sc forensic science. No companies or forensic labs are there to recruit. Placements in this course need improvements. Contact with forensic labs in India can improve the placements in this field. Due to fewer opportunities students are not getting admitted to this course.

Infrastructure: The campus is very big. Classrooms and library have a decent atmosphere. Mess food is average. Wi-Fi facility on the campus is good. Laboratories have enough facilities. Canteen is very good. There are good opportunities in sports and games. Some students qualified for Olympics.

Other placement classes are also running for skill development. There is a department for personal student queries. The curriculum of this course is good.
