What is your review of Lovely Professional University?

Manpreet Kaur

24 May 22

Lovely Professional University is pretty good in all aspects such as academics, infrastructure, faculty, ranking, etc.

LPU has a brilliant faculty base. Most of the faculty members are alumni of IITs, IIMs, NITs, etc.
The institute has a good placement record. LPU placements 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 42 LPA. Major MNCs like Godrej Consumer, CEAT, Allianz, Hindustan Unilever, etc. visit the campus placement.
LPU has a good ecosystem for entrepreneurship as well. If you have a good idea, you can get seed funding from the institute.
All basic amenities are available on campus. You won’t need to go out to get anything. The campus has a central library, a shopping mall, indoor sports facilities, public and private sector banks, ATMs, etc.

LPU is one of the best private universities in the country. You can benefit a lot from attending the institute.

Why do colleges like Lovely Professional University, Sharda University, and Amity University advertise on TV? Do these universities have any standing or credibility?

Anmol Singh

15 May 21

No, these universities almost have zero credibility. You have to realize the fact that the main goal of these big universities is to make money.

I have heard a lot of reviews from my friends who studied at these universities. Following are lesser-known facts about these universities:

During the admission, you will be told about the institute and will be assured about top-class facilities including AC in your classrooms. When you get allured in, you will face reality. Your expectations will be barely met.
Most of the teaching faculties are newly appointed with most of them having no experience in teaching at all. Most of them will vanish after that semester and again, new faculties are appointed.
Attendance criteria is very strict and teachers' way to control students. Even if you are five minutes late to the class, talking in class, or unable to answer a question in class, you are marked absent.
There is no particular format for allotting the internal assessment or Semester end exam marks. If teachers are not that fond of you, you are definitely going to have a tough time here.
Making students reappear in their exams is a new scheme of making money for these institutes. Whenever the results are out, around 80% of the class is going to fail in one or more papers. To reappear for one paper, you have to pay 5-8K.
Fee demand is very high and ROI is very low, due to which the number of students drop out every year.
You will be judged in every aspect, based on what you are wearing, that too if you are a girl. You will be sent back to hostels.

Overall it's a no-brainer to avoid attending these institutes. Paying so much when you are getting so little in return, makes literally no sense at all. So think twice before opting for any of these institutes.

Which is the best university, LPU or KIIT?

Ahana Mukharjee

28 Jun 22

KIIT is a better option compared to LPU. It is a deemed university and offers better career opportunities to students. Here are the highlights of KIIT Placement 2022.

Highest CTC	INR 52 LPA
Average CTC	INR 6.05 LPA
Total no of recruiters	350+
Total no of offers	5000+
Top recruiters	Amazon, Infosys, Escorts, Accenture

Placements are especially good for CSE department. However, KIIT charges high fees.

Can I get an honest review on LPU University placements in engineering?

Naksh Singh

01 Jun 21

Your placement depends upon both skills and expertise. But, in terms of LPU, there are several companies that visit the campus for placements. However, very few students receive a high placement package.

LPU is one of the best private universities that offer students more than 250 programs. Engineering, out of which, is on the high end of demand. LPU shortly has been awarded the “National Employability Award-2020”.

More than 60 companies offered students above 10 LPA, and more than 100 are from the fortune 500 clubs.
Companies that mostly visit IITs and IIMs visit LPU as well.
LPU has seen a hike in the recruitment process per year where more than 700 companies (among which 90% are from well-known MNCs) visit with great placement offers.

Have a look at the current placement statistics of 2021:

Students Placed	1150+
Company Offers	6+
Highest CTC	INR 30 LPA
Top Recruiters	Amazon, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant

Top Recruiters: Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, Janalakshmi Financial Services, Kelloggs, MRF, Decathlon Sports, Exide Industries, Emami, ITC Limited, Naukri, Moody’s Analytics, Practo, WNS Global, Writer Corporation, Nivesh Group, and several others to keep going.

Which is better: Amity Noida vs. LPU?

Mahul Dasgupta

28 Jun 22

Compared to Amity Noida, LPU is better in terms of placements, infrastructure, and campus life. Each year more than 500+ national and international companies visit LPU placements. Microsoft, Adobe, and Amazon are some of the major recruiters. During the 2021 placement drive, the highest CTC offered was INR 42 LPA.

LPU has a brilliant faculty base. Most of the faculty members are alumni of IITs, IIMs, NITs, and are reputed universities around the world.

I was accepted in IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta but rejected by Lovely Professional University. What do I do?

Vernon Mascarenhas

13 Dec 22

Firstly, if you haven’t been able to get into Lovely Professional University, don’t get discouraged. Getting into IIMs is also a privilege. You can land decent jobs even as an IIM graduate. So just settle for the best IIM and achieve your goals.

But if you still think with one more chance you can ace the entrance exam of LPU, then take a dropout year and prepare well for it. It will be a year full of struggles but you will have to deal with it with the right spirit. Who knows you might actually get into LPA this time and fulfill your dream.

Which college is better for CSE, CGC, Landran or Lpu?

Arshit Jain

06 Mar 23

When it comes to pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Lovely Professional University (LPU) stands out as the best private university compared to CGC and Landran. Here's why:

Scholarship Opportunities: LPU offers its own test called LPUNEST, which serves as the basis of eligibility for most of the programs and scholarships. The amount of scholarship awarded depends on the program's fee, date of admission, and the student's performance in LPUNEST. Additionally, LPU offers fee concessions for Defence and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and their dependents, as well as special scholarships for toppers of the Education Board and for students who have excelled in sports, cultural events, R&D, co-curricular activities, social service, and bravery awards.

Placements: LPU's placement record is impressive, with the highest international and domestic packages offered during the 2022 placement season standing at INR 300 LPA and INR 64 LPA, respectively. In 2021 and 2022, a total of 431 students were offered salary packages ranging between INR 10 LPA and INR 62.72 LPA, and over 1,050 companies visited the campus, offering 8,400 placement and internship opportunities.

Learning Life: LPU offers a holistic approach to learning, with a focus on training, internships, extra-curricular activities like sports and cultural events such as ONE INDIA, ONE WORLD, entrepreneurship, on-the-job training, project-based learning, and celebrity events featuring icons such as Ms. Dhoni, Deepika Padukone, and Shahrukh Khan.

Overall, Lovely Professional University is the best private university for pursuing a degree in CSE. Its generous scholarship opportunities, impressive placement record, and comprehensive approach to learning make it an excellent choice for students who aspire to excel in the field of Computer Science and Engineering.

Which one is better for a B.Tech (CSE) Lovely Professional University (LPU) or any UPTU (APJ, AKTU) affiliated private colleges such as AKGEC and SRMS?

Ashish Yadav

09 Nov 22

If you are willing to pursue B.Tech. (CSE) and are confused between LPU and UPTU, then you need to go through the pros and cons of both to make a better understanding.

Uttar Pradesh Technical University:

Pros-

Extremely affordable. It's a government university so the only relaxation is fees.
Better placement opportunities

Cons-

Education tactics adopted are old school.
The structure of exams is below average
Bad internet facilities
The compulsory attendance rules do not let you conduct research.

Lovely Professional University:

Pros-

A large-scale advertisement which is not of much use to an engineer
Extensive international collaborations
Placements in Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and Microsoft

Cons-

Lack of proper study material and timely educational help
Placements are usually off-campus. This means they are dependent on your hard work and not on the university.

Both universities fail to provide a very good education and have a lot of shortcomings. Choose LPU or UPTU only if you have no other option. Of the two, UPTU is still a better option because of its low fees and better education strategies.

Which one is better Chandigarh University vs Lovely Professional University?

Archita Biswas

Chandigarh University is the better choice among these two.

CU has a great pool of teachers. The faculties are well-experienced. You can also ask for their help any time you need it.
The management on campus is great. It is one of the safest campuses in North India. Ragging is strictly prohibited on campus.
Chandigarh University Placement - CU is conducting its 2022 placement drive. More than 757 recruiters have made around 7500 placement offers. The highest CTC offered this year is 52.11 LPA.
