Truth About LPU and its faculty.
Placements: According to my experience at Lovely Professional University in our course, it is difficult to get good placements because the package value is very low. The university doesn't provide good placements in reputed companies. Students are also not very good so that they can get a good company as a friend in college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our course is pretty good. They provide good labs for practicals. Wi-Fi is good in our college. Every block has Wi-Fi. There is a canteen near every block where students can have good food from the street vendors and food outlets. The food served in the mess is not hygienic and good.
Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful and good. They solve students' doubts and try to guide them according to their personal experiences. Some of the teachers keep personal grudges with students. They even say that they fail students if they ask them doubts or for any kind of help. If we talk about the curriculum, it is good and relevant. It teaches students a lot of things and basics which makes them ready for placements. If we talk about exams, they are pretty good and difficult. To pass the exam, we need to score 40% of the mark.
Other: The crowd is a lot on campus. Students can attend multiple events on campus. In our course, some practical work should be available so that we can increase our knowledge. Our college should conduct some small competitions which help students to build confidence in their studies.

Good in some ways. Thank you.
Placements: We won't say that there are no placements in LPU. They should upgrade the way of teaching and skills building. There are more sales placements in LPU. There are no technical placements. The placement success rate was decreased compared to previous years.
Infrastructure: LPU has the best infrastructure in India. It has the best Wi-Fi system on campus. It also has well-designed laboratories for the student's learning purposes. There are different categories in hostels. In some hostels food is alright but in some hostels not that much. Medical facilities are available and also provide the best encouragement in sports and games.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified by the certificates and not by their knowledge. Few teachers explain the concepts very well but few of them do not know how to speak in proper English. Semester exams are very difficult. The passing percentage is very low. Some students are dropping out due to non-clearance of exams and they are unable to clear.
Other: I choose this course because of my parent's burden. Regarding my course, nothing is best. Everyone says that CSE is good but those students who put their leg into the CSE course will get the real picture of CSE within 6 months.

Campus and infrastructure is great, faculty members are decent, come if you can compete.
Placements: As a fresher in my first year, I can't say much about placements yet. However, based on my interactions with seniors, placements seem decent, especially for those who work hard. The average package is around 6 to 7 LPA, and the highest is 33 LPA. To be eligible for placements, you need a minimum 7.5 CGPA in all 8 semesters, no record of unfair means, and no reappearances. Companies like Deloitte and EY hire LPU graduates from our branch, so placements are decent.
Infrastructure: Lovely Professional University is renowned for its infrastructure. The campus is beautiful, with cafes, food stalls, an entire mall, and dedicated sports facilities for cricket, football, hockey, and rugby. There's also an indoor sports complex with a swimming pool (chargeable separately, around INR 5,000 per year). The hostels are okay, but I didn't like the high cost (around INR 120,000 per year for a 4-seater room). I live in a rented room with friends for about ₹2,500 per month. The campus is mind-blowing, especially the Robo Park surrounded by gardens. Freshers will love it.
Faculty: The faculty members were average. They relied on PowerPoint presentations and lacked creativity. Some were rude, refusing attendance to students even a minute late. The curriculum was basic, repeating class 11 and 12 topics. I chose the BBA-MBA course, and our subjects were similar to previous classes. The semesters were filled with assignments and class tests, creating unnecessary pressure.
Other: LPU was my second choice after missing the IPMAT cutoff for IIM Indore by 3 percentile. I chose LPU for its 4-year integrated BBA-MBA program, affordable fees (around INR 12-13 lakhs), and positive alumni feedback. Events and fests are awesome, with performances by artists like Paradox and Anubhav Singh Bassi, but they are paid events. LPU has a cosmopolitan population, with students from all over India. Fests and celebrations happen regularly. Scholarships are based on LPU NEST scores; I received a scholarship and pay INR 98,400 per semester. LPU is renowned for sports, with 24 Olympians from the university. It focuses on extracurricular activities, with clubs for various interests housed in the Student Welfare Wing. If you want to enjoy college life, LPU should be your top priority.
