Reality of Lovely Professional University.

Placements: Companies come for placements, but most of them are sales-based companies rather than technical companies. Many students who are good at technical skills still do not get placed after graduation. Overall, it is good, but most students get placed in sales companies rather than roles related to their department, which creates problems for students. If we consider the overall placement percentage, including sales and IT, it might be around 85-90%. But if you don't get a job in your desired role or ...

Good infrastructure and facilities.

Top recruiting companies are Kandhari Beverages and GreyB. Half of the students got internships in companies like Kandhari Beverages and Shreejeebappa Foods. Most of the roles include sales jobs and quality executive jobs.
