LPU's B.Tech in Civil Engineering offers strong internship prospects with companies like Accenture and a high placement rate of 80%, alongside a maximum package of 15 lacs, which is quite appealing. The faculty is highly qualified and supportive, making it easier for students to grasp challenging concepts. On the other hand, Chitkara University's BE in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning is in a booming field, but details on placements and internships seem limited compared to LPU. If you're leaning towards a more stable and traditional career with good government job opportunities, LPU is the better choice. However, if you're passionate about AI and willing to navigate a newer field, Chitkara might be worth considering.

I’m currently in the B.Tech Computer Science Engineering program at LPU, and I must say, the curriculum is pretty solid. They got NAC A++, which speaks volumes about the quality of education here. We do have a lot of exams each term, which can be a bit stressful, but it keeps us on our toes. The faculty is quite good, with a ratio of about 7 students to 1 teacher. As for placements in 2025/26, I feel optimistic since many seniors got placed in decent companies. The campus life adds to the experience, with facilities like a huge library, indoor stadium, and various clubs for extracurricular activities.

I’m in the Aerospace Engineering program at LPU, and I really enjoy it. The faculty is top-notch, and they always clear our doubts, which is a huge plus. I appreciate that the fees are reasonable, and there are various scholarships available, making it easier for students like me to manage expenses. As for placements in 2026, I’ve seen that many companies come to campus, especially from the third year onwards. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead and hopeful that I’ll find a good position after I graduate!

Hi! I’m in the BHM program at LPU. The cutoff for general category students from Punjab was about 70% last year. It’s not too tough if you prepare well for the entrance exam. The university has fantastic facilities and experienced professors, which makes everything easier. Plus, the campus life is vibrant, with friends from all parts of India. Good luck!

Bennett University > LPU for engineering/management, though both are private universities with their own strengths.

Bennett University (Greater Noida):

• backed by the Times of India Group — strong media/journalism brand, but engineering programs are also growing
• relatively newer (est. 2016), still building reputation but with the Times brand behind it
• Delhi-NCR location is a major plus for internships and placements
• smaller batch, better student-faculty ratio compared to LPU
• fee: ~Rs.3-4L/year

LPU (Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar):

• massive campus, very affordable fees, heavily skill-focused
• placement numbers look impressive but the quality varies significantly by batch and specialization
• far from major metro cities which limits internship access
• one of India's largest universities by enrollment

for CSE/engineering specifically: Bennett's NCR location and smaller, more focused batch give it an edge for quality placements. LPU works better if budget is a constraint or if you specifically want their entrepreneurship ecosystem.

neither is a top-tier choice if you have NIT/BITS/good state govt college options. if choosing between only these two, go Bennett for engineering — the NCR location and Times group backing outweigh LPU's scale advantage.

yes, LPU does accept JEE Main scores for B.Tech admission — and it comes with scholarship benefits which most people don't know about.

here's how it works:

• you can apply to LPU directly using your JEE Main score (no need to appear for LPUNEST, LPU's own entrance test)
• the higher your JEE Main rank, the bigger the scholarship you can get on fees
• LPU has a scholarship slab system: e.g., JEE Main rank under 10,000 = significant fee waiver, rank 10k-50k = moderate scholarship

the thing most people miss — if you're applying to LPU using JEE Main, don't skip giving LPUNEST too. LPUNEST scholarships can sometimes stack or provide better deals depending on your score. give both and see which gives better scholarship before committing.

also worth knowing: LPU has a large international campus, decent placements for CSE (~6-8 LPA avg), and a strong entrepreneurship culture. it's a reasonable option if you have a mid-range JEE score and want a private university with good infrastructure. fees before scholarship are on the higher side (~Rs.1.5-2L/semester) so make sure you've locked in the scholarship in writing before paying anything.
