LPU Ranking in India by NIRF and Careers360

Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations! You have multiple admission options!! Here is a short comparison to help you decide:

• SRM Ramapuram : Good brand value for placement opportunities - placement is the most positive area for the university. Ramapuram is a smaller campus and typically, has more of an industry focus compared to the Kattankulathur campus.
• LPU Jalandhar: Modern campus with national diversity, they boast good placements in CSE/IT, moderate ECE, and not as core focused. Fees are heavier than your other options and Jalandhar is also more distance from Tamil Nadu.
• Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) : Good name in Tamil Nadu as a part of Anna University. More geared to ECE core learning with affordable fees, better placement at the local level, and less distance.  Probably represents a more stable option for you if you are likely to be TNEA based and expect a long-term outcome.

If you value core ECE, want to be in Tamil Nadu, then Rajalakshmi Engineering College is a solid options. If however, you have an interest in attending a private university with more academics that are flexible and prepared to relocate: SRM Ramapuram is also an option.

Hello,

Choosing between LPU (Lovely Professional University) and PSIT (Pranveer Singh Institute of Technology), Kanpur for B.Tech in Computer Science with AI/ML depends on your priorities. LPU offers a modern campus, global exposure, and an industry-aligned curriculum, along with vibrant campus life and strong placement support, though some top salary claims have faced scrutiny. PSIT, on the other hand, provides a more disciplined academic environment with a consistent placement record in companies like Infosys, TCS, and Wipro. While average packages may be lower, PSIT’s focus on job readiness is valued. If you seek global exposure and a dynamic experience, choose LPU; for structure and reliable placements, PSIT is a solid choice.

Choosing between Chandigarh University (CU) and Lovely Professional University (LPU) with a 30% scholarship at both requires a careful evaluation of multiple factors. In terms of placement and industry exposure, both universities are competitive, especially for Computer Science and related fields. CU has been attracting top recruiters like Microsoft and Amazon, and similarly, LPU maintains strong industry ties and offers students global exposure through partnerships and internships. When it comes to academics and infrastructure, LPU has a slight advantage due to its expansive campus, state-of-the-art labs, and innovation hubs. CU, while smaller, has shown impressive growth and offers a solid academic environment. From a logistical standpoint, both universities are located in Punjab, but CU’s proximity to Chandigarh city may make it more accessible. The cost of living is fairly similar in both areas. However, a crucial factor is your COMEDK result. If you expect a good score, waiting could open doors to top Karnataka engineering colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT, which often offer better placement opportunities and industry connections. If your COMEDK score is uncertain and you want to secure a seat early, LPU might be the more advantageous option due to its broader national reputation and infrastructure advantages. Ultimately, if your COMEDK score is promising, waiting is wise; otherwise, LPU is a solid choice with your current scholarship offer.

The LPUNEST 2025 scholarship exam syllabus for B.Tech at Lovely Professional University is designed to assess a student’s understanding of key subjects studied in Classes XI and XII. It includes sections on Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology (depending on the stream chosen), and English. The Physics syllabus covers topics such as kinematics, laws of motion, work, energy and power, thermodynamics, electrostatics, optics, and modern physics. Chemistry includes physical, organic, and inorganic topics like atomic structure, chemical bonding, equilibrium, hydrocarbons, and biomolecules. Mathematics comprises algebra, calculus, vectors, trigonometry, and statistics, while Biology includes plant and human physiology, genetics, reproduction, biotechnology, and ecology. English focuses on grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, and comprehension passages. The exam is computer-based, with a total of 100 questions: 25 each from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology, and English. Most sections include multiple-choice questions along with fill-in-the-blank type questions. Each correct answer in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths/Biology is awarded 4 marks, while English answers carry 2 marks each. There is no negative marking. This exam not only helps determine eligibility for admission but also qualifies students for scholarships based on their performance. The syllabus is aligned with national-level entrance standards, making it accessible for students familiar with the CBSE or equivalent boards.

Given your JEE Main rank (922 All India Rank) and CRL of 1.16 lakh, and considering financial constraints that make colleges like Chandigarh University (CU) or Lovely Professional University (LPU) less affordable, choosing between IPE at NIT Jalandhar, CSE at UIET Hoshiarpur, and ECE at CCET Chandigarh involves weighing the value of the institute, branch, and future career prospects. NIT Jalandhar, being a National Institute of Technology, has a strong reputation nationally, excellent infrastructure, and better placement opportunities across all branches compared to state colleges. Even if you choose Instrumentation and Process Engineering (IPE), which is a niche branch, the prestige of NIT and its connections with industry can offer good internships and jobs. UIET Hoshiarpur is affiliated with Punjab University and has a decent reputation, especially for CSE, which is a high-demand branch with better placement potential compared to ECE in CCET Chandigarh. CCET Chandigarh is well-regarded regionally, but ECE placements may not be as strong or lucrative as CSE placements. If finances are tight and you want the best return on investment, NIT Jalandhar’s IPE is a strong choice due to the brand value and quality of education. If you prefer a core branch like CSE and UIET’s fees are manageable, that is a good alternative. ECE at CCET can be considered if you have a specific interest in electronics and communications but expect relatively moderate placements. Ultimately, prioritize institute reputation and affordability, and try to align with your long-term career interests.
