is the college good enough for pursuing BE civil Engineering?

Apart from IIT, top colleges for civil engineering are National Institute of Technology, R.V.College of Engineering, Delhi Technological University, College of Engineering Pune, UPES Dehradun,Lovely Professional University etc.

Lovely Professional University is one of the best institutes for engineering in the state of Punjab. So if a degree in B. Tech (Civil engineering) is what you seek, I suggest that you do consider LPU. I have sound reasons to actually make this suggestion.

Actually I did MBA from Lovely Professional University but I have one friend who has done B.Tech Civil Engineering From LPU.He told me B. Tech in civil engineering course involves so much more than theoretical know-how. In addition to classroom lectures, students here learn via hands-on experiences which include site visits, lab sessions and so on. PPTs, animations and similar technological techniques are a regular part of classroom teaching too.

The course material provided here enables to practice civil engineering using up-to-date techniques, skills, and tools as a result of life-long learning ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. The course benefits the students by giving them an understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities.

The Department aims to provide students with a technical foundation incorporated with the industrial need together with the breadth needed in the profession via advanced study or field training, or as a base for other pursuits. In order to get this develop we have timely workshops, and seminars.

Coming to faculty, they are one of the best mentors to us & everything here is up to the mark. The faculty is supporting if one is willing to learn. They teach the subjects with their full effort. Writing board, screen-projector, labs are used to teach. The college arranges frequent industry visits. New innovative ideas were framed into working models and were showcased to 10000+ school students.

Also, LPU has one of the best educational infrastructures in the nation. The laboratories are designed to enable various assessments like soil testing, cement testing, concrete testing etc.The industry experts are involved deep in development of the design of curriculum to match up the industry expectations. They frequently refurnish what they deliver.

Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, are an integral part of the curriculum.

LPU supports innovation and research and hence provides students with such opportunities. There are 15+entrepreneurial ventures on campus. LPU also hosts conferences where students can present there papers.

He also said,LPU offers specializations in Civil Engineering like Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geo-tech Engineering, Construction Technology and Management, Hydraulics and Water Resource Engineering, Remote Sensing & GIS.

LPU has a dedicated School of Professional Enhancement with a strong team of 130+ trainers covering all aspects of training like Technical, Soft skills, Verbal Ability, Quantitative and Reasoning Aptitude and special activities to enhance domain knowledge giving a 360-degree outlook to all students.

Students are placed in companies like Cleanmax Solar, Al Rakha(UAE), Dharam Consulting, Era Infra Engineering Ltd., KEC International, Simplex, WSP India, XL Dynamics, CVENT, Rishishwar Construction, Premier Developers and Contractors, etc.

GOOD LUCK..!

Dear Faiz,

Choosing a University is a big decision, as our career fully depends upon that. There are some key parameters that we should keep in mind before choosing any University, like, faculty, placements, international exposure, curriculum, alumni of that university.

I would say,Lovely Professional University is One of India’s Best Civil Engineering college in Punjab, School of Civil Engineering empowers its students with state-of-the-art technologies and latest labs that are at par with international education standards. The students contain a superb blend of skill, leadership and, innovation leading to awe-inspiring placements. Emphasizing the need to evolve and create the smart cities of tomorrow, LPU School of Civil Engineering focuses on creating professionals that become the inventors of future sustainable technology.I am saying this because I have done my post graduation from LPU and I had few friends from same branch.

One of my friend told that,This programme at LPU include a blend of hands-on experiential learning and theoretical foundational courses. The very best include a mix of traditional learning in laboratories and classrooms with cooperative programs that allow students to gain work experience. Others may include independent research with faculty members another good bet for individuals hoping to go directly into research or the workforce upon graduation.

1.Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also.

2. The capstone project is an integral part of B. Tech program in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills.

3. There is an internship program which could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option.

4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can see actual construction work going on. Be prepared to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you.

5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives.

6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few.

7. Career oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. None the less, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is prerequisite for any Civil Engineer.In order to enhance the learning experience of the civil engineering students, the University has established a laboratory named, Uni lab mechanical testing of building and construction material. National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is a Constituent Board of Quality Council of India (QCI) that provides CAB (Conformity Assessment Boys) accreditation.

8. Every theory course is complemented with relevant lab-based practical work. Some of the labs are based on field testing where experimental work is to be done, e.g. Soil Lab & Surveying Lab.

I hope that helps you to make a wiser decision. Rest lies on you. But, yes, four years is enough time to groom your personality. And, as someone already said, it will all depend upon your quest to knowledge, hard work & networking skills. All the best for your future endeavors.

Hello Faiz ,

Easwari Engineering College is good in terms of infrastructure , facilities and faculties but if you consider in terms of placement then for civil department it's not too much good. Very few core companies visit College for placement. Environment of College is good , many workshop held for students which arr really helpful .

Hope it helps!!
