Though both the colleges are good in academics but LPU is the best engineering college in Punjab for CSE. Lately, number of admissions in CSE department have been increased rapidly and has become one of the popular courses among engineering aspirants. In order to get admission in CSE there is an eligibility criteria that needs to be fulfilled by the student. For B.Tech (CSE) the eligibility includes 60% in 10+2 with (English, Physics & Mathematics ) + LPUNEST. For B.Tech CSE (Hons) 70% in 10+2 with (English, Physics & Mathematics )+ LPUNEST.

Hi, In the era of cut-throat competition, every institution is floating CSE and considers it a flagship course and claims that the institute is providing the best. Still, the best gets converted into the worst when it comes to the application part. Therefore, the only institute that comes to my mind is LPU. The LPU is a leading university with a world-class infrastructure and a faculty like the IITs. The LPU curriculum is focused on the latest developments and technical aspects that help students stay up to date. Live projects and internships in the companies add experience to the engineering graduates. Almost all the good companies visit LPU like Microsoft India = 42 LPA, WorkIndia=35 LPA, CLOUDERA=31 LPA, Gameskraft Technologies = 32 LPA, Interview Bit = 31 LPA, Code Nation = 31 LPA, Media Net = 29.78 LPA, Amazon Software Development India Ltd = 30 LPA, Optmyzr = 24 LPA, Adobe Systems India = 22.3 LPA, Xilinx = 17 LPA, Infineon Technologies India Pvt Ltd = 13.75 LPA, National Instruments India Ltd. = 13.5 LPA, Informatica = 13 LPA with an average package of 5-10 LPA. Thanks.

Research, Innovation and Extension activities are central to the mission of the university. To augment the learning resources and promote interdisciplinary research, the university has a dedicated Division of Research & Development, which supports and coordinates research activities in the university. The progressive research policy, the appointment of research-intensive faculty, research grants, research leaves and research awards have contributed to significant improvement in the research profile of LPU. Let me share some key highlights:-
o Extensive research facilities like Central Instrumentation Facility, Space Centre, Agriculture Research Farms, Animal House, Herbal Garden, Green House, Innovation Studio, Textile Testing Lab, Media Laboratory & Studio, Formulation Research Lab, XLPLAT - Patent Docketing Solution, XLPAT Patent Search Tools, Multiple Databases (Proquest, Capitaline) etc. O Hosting of 106th Indian Science Congress, 15+ conferences in the last 2 years, visit of eminent scholars gave an impetus to research endeavours of students and faculty. Supportive research policy has fostered an environment conducive to purposeful research resulting in the publication of 9132 research papers, 22703 book chapters and 395 patents.

Dear Ritika, yes, LPU is good for Civil Engineering. My friend did B.Tech in Civil and now pursuing M.Tech in Civil from LPU. The following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: -
1. Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also.
2. The capstone project is an integral part of B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills.
3. There is an internship programme which could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option.
4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepared to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you.
5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives.
6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few.
7. Career oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. None the less, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is prerequisite for any Civil Engineer.
8. Every theory course is complemented with relevant lab-based practical work. Some of the labs are based on field testing where experimental work is to be done, e. g. Soil Lab & Surveying Lab. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. I hope this helps
Thanks!

Hi, If you want to pursue Law courses, no university is best than LPU. Let me give you few highlights for the same. The School of Law is governed and regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI), and BCI also provides its curriculum. Students have experienced internships at various High Courts, law firms, law chambers, commissions, corporate houses, and NGOs. LPU provides Experiential learning by Regular Open House Discussions to generate awareness about contemporary issues to identify corresponding legal challenges and implications. Effective learning, according to LPU, occurs outside of the classroom. As a result, students are motivated to augment their classroom learning by engaging in specially organized moot court and debate competitions. Moot Court contests held around the country have rewarded LPU Law students with awards. Moot court tournaments have also been held at the university on a national level. In addition, the department invites eminent guest lecturers from the legal profession, such as Advocate Rajiv Kumar, Advocate-On-Record (Supreme Court of India), to talk and encourage future lawyers. The aim of these guest lectures is to familiarise students with the intricacies of legal discourse. The School of Law is also known for hosting prestigious national and international conferences on a regular basis to provide academic support to students. In November 2017, LPU hosted the National Conference on Cyber Law and IT Security. Coming to the placements, LPU grooms the students for a successful professional career by offering soft skills classes that offer guidance on how to face interviews, dress code, preparing an impressive resume. Professional grooming combined with strong academics has helped our students to get internships and placements with companies like MAP Legal Corporation, Manupatra & Co, Integrity Associates, LEGASIS, Thomson Reuters, Chandigarh Bottle, and Distilleries, Sumati Legal Corporation, SNT Control Limited, JLL India Limited, etc. The Alumni are working as Judicial officers, Legal practitioners, and Corporate advisors, and Civil servants. I hope this helps!
Thanks.

The focus of entertaining is impressing others
The focus of true hospitality is serving others
Being an alumni of LPU. I have couple of friends in the HOTEL MANAGEMENT. So I must say that LPU would be the best option for pursuing the course for HOTEL MANAGEMENT. As university possess a hotel which not only give practical exposure but also the real time ELIGIBILITY :Pass with 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English or equivalent. For a candidate, who has not studied English as a subject, the condition of English may be waived off provided the candidate in his qualifying exam has studied in English medium.

Many reputed companies in this field had visited for the placements drive - Viral International, Jaypee Residency Hotel, Qatar Airways, Air Vistara, P and O Cruise (USA), Al Thiqarestaurant Co (Kuwait), Hyatt (USA), Wolf Great Resort (USA), Jubilant (Dominos), Sapphire Foods (KFC), The Grand (New Delhi), The Leela, Zuri Whitefield, Courtyard Marriot, ITC Hotels, Radisson Blu, The Oberoi Cecil etc. It is the best private university with world-class infrastructure, modern facilities, and highly qualified faculty in India. The university is having tie-ups with many foreign universities and reputed companies thus facilitating higher amenities to its students. Nonetheless, in each semester LPU gives Professional Enhancement Programmes (PEP) in which the students are prepared to crack the placement processes like Analytical Skills (Logic Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning), Quantitative Aptitude Skills, Technical Aptitude Skills, Presentations and Soft Skills and Mock Exercises (Mock Interviews, GDs, Mock Tests, etc. )
The latest salary package was around 9 to 10 Lacs despite Pandemic.
