Choosing a college or University, a lot of factors are considered like ranking, infrastructure, curriculum, pedagogy, Faculty and most importantly, placements. JERC, Poornima and LPU are the renowned names in the Education Sector and both the institutes have their own place. But if talk of placements, LPU is one of the top names. As per my experience over there, LPU is not only good for placements but also known for its best infrastructure, innovative pedagogy, Industry focused Academics, and industry tie ups. Renowned companies like Amazon, Cognizant, Bosch, Capgemini, Trident, Hitachi, Josh, Xerox, CTS, Verizon and Tech Mahindra come for the campus recruitment.

The university incorporates live projects, internships, and industrial visits into the course programs which helps students get direct exposure to the firms and puts the knowledge learnt in the classroom into practice. The opportunities allow the students to get an idea of the industry workflows, challenges, and expectations through a first-hand experience.LPU conducts industry-led workshops, seminars, guest lectures, and corporate conclaves also that provide the professionals with information on existing trends, technologies, and best practice. These activities expand the minds of students and have them abreast with the changing market needs.

For a young 10+2 student, this seems to be the most important question. Since placements are considered the top barometer of success, I will talk about the factors leading to placement. Mostly placements are considered as a standalone process. Course curriculum, it needs to be dynamic and industry consulted then; only the professionals be developed who the industry really needs. Programme delivery: Classroom teaching doesn't work anymore, it has to be an experiential learning technique. Technology training: Many times, the students do get good skill sets, but these skills are there with many people in the market, the freshers need to have exposure to tools like Oracle, Advance excel, GitHub, other MOOCs, etc. Which improves the efficiency manifold. Industry interface: To have more and more interactions with industry experts, learning things hands on and networking.Professional enhancement: Students come from various backgrounds and cultures, they may be very good at inculcating the technical skills, but they also need to clear the interviews to take the jobs. The soft skills, communication, interpersonal and networking skills need to be inculcated in them not only for interviews but for the whole of their careers. Faculty, the faculty that develops the curriculum and delivers the programme with the right teaching pedagogy must be top-notch. Internships, entrepreneurship, community development projects etc.: They need to be an integral part of the curriculum so that students get hands-on knowledge about real-time situations in various aspects of life and business. I have 16 years of experience behind me in some of the top universities of the country in the private sector. I can surely tell you that LPU has excelled in all these factors with unflinching focus. All this has been possible because of heavy and smart investments made by it in intellectual capital. It has been passionate about achieving excellence in each and every process. And it shows in the placements when more than 700 top companies come to campus from all over the world and take thousands of students every year. They not only offer great salary packages from 5 to 42 lacs per annum but also offer the best job roles for freshers. No wonder about 100 of these companies offer more than 10 lacs as yearly packages.

Well, there are a couple of companies that demand high CGPA but most of the companies don't stress that. They see how a person presents oneself and conducts oneself in an interview. For campus placement at LPU, one has to register oneself for placements. You pay a fee of Rs 10000. Once the university enrols in the placements, you have to attend PEP, (professional enhancement programme) classes. The classes are aimed at improving the student's soft skills, communication skills, cognitive skills, verbal ability, and analytical ability. Every student is given a couple of chances.
