Chandigarh University (CU)

The technical manpower in India is one of the largest in the world. The software industry in India has recorded phenomenal growth in the past few years. The demand for computer Science engineers has been strong both in India and overseas. The scope of employment is very good and opportunities exist both in IT and non-IT companies for students of computer Science engineering. Though all the universities are good in terms of academic structure but being an alumni let me share the details. The department aims to hone the technical expertise of its students by organizing timely workshops and guest lectures. This helps in capacity building, better career prospects and good placements. The school also adopt and adapt the latest in technological innovations with some of the course assessments being carried out on competitive programming platforms such as HackerRank, HackerEarth and Codechef. All this ensures a breeding ground for high skilled technological enthusiasts. The Department takes immense pride in offering innovative Live Projects that will help in providing technical exposure to the students while developing state of the art applications. The Department continues to strive for excellence by embarking on ambitious endeavors BYOD, Industry Tie-ups with industries like Google, SAP, Oracle, Vmware, DELL EMC, Rule Book Based Best IT Practices, Deep-Dive Virtual Academy Programme, Immersive Mentor-ship Model, Best Projects Show-case Carnival. The department also has a Microsoft Technical Club which is actively engaged in spreading tech awareness by hosting and conducting various tech talks and events by eminent speakers and fellow Microsoft Technical Club members. All these combined efforts has made LPU students to bag excellent placements. Tanya Arora, a final year B.Tech Computer Science Engineering student of Lovely Professional University, has bagged a whopping Rs 42 Lac job offer from Microsoft. LPU alumni, Utkarsh, placed at Google HQs in Silicon Valley Rs. 1Cr. + package. LPU becomes the favourite landing place for top recruiters like Cognizant Technology Solutions, Tech Mahindra, Capgemini, Amazon, Bosch Engineering, Tata Consultancy services, Meditab and many more. I hope this helps you in making a choice.

Being gratified alumni & based on the different feedback of my fellow batchmates & parents I feel that undoubtedly in today's date Lovely Professional University is the most demanding University by parents, Students & of course by prospective employers. In LPU, B.Tech. Is one of the most leading programme for the students because of the global acceptance. LPU is offering nearly 30 most upgraded streams in B.Tech. Like CSE, ECE, IT, Chemical, Aerospace, Bio-Technology, Civil, Mechanical, Robotics, Food Tech. & many More. Best part is that LPU is giving equal focus / priority to all the streams of B.Tech. For the all-round development of B.Tech. Students. & equal opportunities in terms of Placement. Excellent cutting edge Infrastructure, innovative pedagogy, high quality of students - these are some of the factors which attracts IT giants to be associated with LPU. It will remain very easier for IT giants to recruit qualified manpower as per their requirement from a single window without searching here & there. LPU students always meet the expectations of corporate employers because of their capability towards excellence. In this respect I would like to mention recent achievement / ranking made by LPU which is globally admired. Lovely Professional University has been ranked among the Top 200 universities in the World in The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2021. The University, which has participated in the rankings for the first time, was ranked at the 2nd the highest position among Indian universities in its debut year itself.
