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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
