LPU is known for providing one of the best placements in the industry. In 2023, LPU has performed really well in terms of providing high paying placements to its students. On top of that, Computer Science Engineering is one of the most dynamic disciplines for which recruiters are willing to pay more. I would like to point out the placement statistics of 2023. For the Computer Science and Engineering batch of 2023, 95% of the students have been placed at the top companies with an average package of 7 LPA.
Moreover, a BTech CSE student has secured a package of INR 52.08 LPA from Microsoft. There were around 1107 total recruiters and the top recruiters were Amazon, Microsoft, Cognizant, Adobe, etc. Most of the high paying packages were secured by students who belong to the Computer Science Engineering batch of 2023.
My cousin's brother is doing BTech CSE in Data Science and according to him, LPU is the best university to pursue AI courses. The university currently offers AI as a specialisation for BTech CSE courses.
The course is comprehensive and is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in AI. Students also have access to modern laboratories for practising their skills and developing new ones. The faculty members are also well-qualified and they have ties with companies like Futurense and UpGrad.
The BTech AI courses are promising for students aspiring for a career in AI or related fields like machine learning, deep learning, neural networks and more. The BTech CSE with AI and Data Engineering students has seen more than 900 recruiters with the average package being INR 14.97 Lakhs for the top 10% of students. The per semester program fee is around INR 2 Lakhs.
No, to secure admission to a BTech course at LPU, you are required to clear the LPUNEST entrance exam. LPUNEST is the university entrance exam conducted by LPU to provide admission to its various courses.
For BTech, you should have a minimum of 60% marks in physics, chemistry and mathematics/biology from a recognised board. After class 12, you should focus on qualifying LPUNEST to get selected. LPU used to offer admission to its BTech courses based on JEE Main score but now it has stopped.
You can use your 75% JEE Main score to secure a scholarship at LPU. The university offers attractive scholarships to exceptional students or those with good scores in entrance exams.
LPU used to provide admission to BTech courses based on the JEE Main exam. It stopped accepting JEE Main as of May 2024 and completely shifted to LPUNEST. LPUNEST is the university entrance exam conducted by LPU to provide admission to its various courses.
Candidates are required to have 60% marks in class 12 in the combined physics, chemistry and mathematics/biology sections. They must then qualify for the LPUNEST exam and appear in the counselling process.
Candidates can use their JEE Main score to secure scholarships at LPU. The university offers attractive scholarships to students with 80% marks or more in the JEE Main exam.
According to the previous year’s VIT Vellore cutoff category-wise, you can get a seat in VIT Vellore in the CSE branch as you have rank under 27,000. You fall under category 4 based on the previous year’s cutoff.
| Campus | Program | Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3 | Category 4 | Category 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIT Vellore | CSE | 950 | 3500 | 19000 | 22000 | 25500 |
| CSE with specialisations | 2800 | 9000 | 23000 | 27000 | 31000 | |
| VIT Chennai | CSE | 8000 | 14000 | 25000 | 29000 | 34000 |
| CSE with specialisations | 11500 | 20500 | 26000 | 32000 | 42000 |
Based on the previous year's cutoff and closing ranks, the cutoff rank for the CSE branch is 8,000 and the ECE branch is 16,000. VITEEE 2024 cutoffs will be published separately for each engineering branch. Candidates with a score of 118 or higher would most likely be put in the 1-250 range. Candidates with marks of less than 31 are predicted to secure a ranking of 20,000 or lower.
As a BTech student at LPU, I can provide the first-year syllabus for BTech in CSE. The first-year syllabus generally covers foundational subjects required to develop a strong base in students to understand computer science. The year is divided into 2 semesters which are called Autumn Term and Spring Term at LPU. The syllabus for both terms is mentioned in the tables below.
| Autumn Term Syllabus | |
|---|---|
| Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering | Orientation to Computing - I |
| Engineering Mathematics | Python Programming |
| Engineering Physics | Soft Skills - I |
| Internet Programming Laboratory | - |
| Spring Term Syllabus | |
| Computer Programming | DBMS |
| Discrete Mathematics | Engineering Graphics and Digital Fabrication |
| Environmental Studies | Orientation to Computing - II |
| Software Engineering | Language Elective 1 |
Students can also pursue four elective courses in various specialisations and aspects during the curriculum to develop additional skills and competency.
For fee structure without any scholarships, the total cost of B.Tech at LPU is INR 11.20 Lakhs. Other than the tuition fee, the students also have to pay around INR 44,000 as hostel fees. The hostel fee is calculated based on the first year/semester. If all the amount is calculated, students have to pay around a total of INR 15.60 lakhs to pursue BTech at LPU including hostel charges.
The total fee for BTech depends on the student's performance in the LPUNEST exam. The university offers heavy discounts to students with good scores that bring down the total cost by large numbers. Students with exceptional records can expect their entire tuition fee covered by the university. LPU has allocated over INR 100 crores of amount to students as scholarships.
I am currently in B.Tech 2nd year (CSE) at LPU.
