Which university should i choose for BCA in terms of placement and study , LPU OR ITM gwalior or ANY other ?

Both education sectors are doing well, but I can share with you LPU student experience as far as I know.I can't give my judgement on ITM as not knowm much to me.

I heard from my neighbour friend who is also pursuing his BCA at LPU and now studying in the final year. Let me share with you what his views are for the same course.

LPU provides a great academic exposure to its students. It provides a chance to the students to attend guest lectures or workshops, so that they get to learn as much as they can. The students also work on live projects, so that they are able to apply their knowledge to practical settings. It is one of the few that has embraced international practices when it comes to designing a curriculum. Instead of using old school books and lectures, LPU has experimented with books, interactive problem-solving interactions and working through real-world applications.

The university has been ranked high by various outer agencies with regard to placements. Some of the roles that one can bag after completing a BCA programme is that of a System engineer, software tester, junior programmer, web developer, system administrator, software developer etc. BCA graduates also have good employability opportunities in public sector organizations.Placements in this university is good if you are a brilliant student,hardworking and have good ideas and projects with you. The internship experience also helps. The average salary package offered is approximately around 3 LPA. But in BCA course, a lot of students consider pursuing MCA from foreign universities.Bachelors in computer science is a vast field and offers a multitude of specialisations for students.

Hope the information helps and you able to take wise decision.

Hi Ritam,

Being an Education Consultant i usually recommends average and below average students to do BCA but for an above average candidate i myself suggest to do BCA if the aspirant is more capable to make it a large success after the completion of the education.

Computer Application is at big demand now a days. Thus, it is very important choose the good college to construct a good success story from the commencement to the conclusion of the Degree with jobs in hand. Yes, when i say “jobs” it does matter. Institute must be of that potential that it can provide you even two or more than two job offers.

If the candidate (might be below average) just want to mark the tick that i am Computer Application graduate then they must go to old traditional colleges. We do have traditional colleges in all the cities of Punjab.

If the candidate is having good potential that he can commute his skills to uplift the coming future industry. If take my opinion, Opt Lovely Professional University for this dynamic program.

All the Best.
