    MCA from LPU at a glance.
    Placements: Here is information about the Master of Computer Applications program at Lovely Professional University in 2021. The number of students who get placed successfully every year is 99%. The highest, lowest, and average packages of our course offered are INR 30 lacs, INR 3 lacs, and INR 9 lacs per annum, respectively. The top companies that come every year for recruiting are Meta, Zomato, and Swiggy. The roles offered are web developer, data scientist, and system analyst.
    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course have high-speed internet access available everywhere throughout the campus. The classrooms have biometrics for the attendance of the students, the food menu keeps changing now and then and the quality of the food provided to us is very decent.
    Faculty: The MCA teachers at this lovely professional university are quite qualified but they lack experience in terms of practical knowledge. The learning is mostly confined to books; practical knowledge is not imparted to the students on a day-to-day basis. Some professors are also really over-obsessed with their achievements.

    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. We can find eco-friendly nature, gardens, and trees when we enter the university. College has Wi-Fi facility, labs with VR technology, classrooms, and MAC labs. University provides personal mentor for students. Hostel facilities are very good. We get good rooms, and the library remains open until 12:00 AM. Our university have sports facilities, including a swimming pool and basketball courts.
    Faculty: Most of the teachers hold Ph.D degrees, so we will get in-depth knowledge during lectures. Teaching quality is very good. Course curriculum is relevant and make students industry-ready. Mock drives are conducted to prepare students for interview. Semester exams are quite challenging, we have to study from day one, especially in MCA. If we don't study seriously, we might regret later. Passing percentage is 30% minimum to pass the end term and semester exams.
    Other: I chose MCA because I want to become a software engineer, which will help me to build my career. The best part of this course is gaining a lot of knowlodge about how extraordinary technologies works. I wish the university provided a less hectic schedule, so that we can focus on extracurricular activities. Our college organized an event recently and many celebrities participated in this event. Currently, the event SPECTRA is being organized, where students shows their talent such as dancing, mimicry, singing and more.

    Review of LPU - Lovely Professional University.
    Placements: In my MCA last year batch, more than half of the students had places by various companies like Essential and Capgemini, so most of the students got placed. The highest package an alumni got is 3 crore, the average is 15 LPA and the minimum package is 5 LPA. And as for recruiting companies, Google, ServiceNow, Microsoft, and many other HCL and TCS companies come for MCA recruiting. More than 50% of students already got internship on their second year from Google, TCS, etc. Top roles offered are front-end development, data science, and cybersecurity.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is absolutely stunning, with all buildings well-designed and creative. The classrooms have separate, comfortable seats with projectors, and all building blocks have Wi-Fi. The labs are equipped with high-functionality computers. The hostel buildings are good, and the dean of the college is well-behaved. Each room works properly, and the mess food quality is good. There are many canteens and a food court available, so students can move around easily and get food. The university also has its own hospital, providing medical facilities.
    Faculty: Most teachers here are PhD-level, either as assistant professors or department heads. The teaching quality is good, and all teachers use real-life examples to help students understand topics easily. The curriculum is relevant, preparing students for the industry. Additionally, they provide pep classes for all students, which offer real examples of industry work.
    Other: I pursued BCA and worked for 2 years at TCS, and now I am pursuing MCA to get higher LPA packages for my better future. As of now, everything is better here; there's nothing to improve about the course, as you will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge. The university conducts many events, including car racing, bike racing, ramp walk modeling, art, singing, hackathons, and many more. For extracurricular activities, you can also join any student club you want.
