Should you pick DMLT at Lovely Professional University?
This course suits students who want hospital or diagnostic lab work and can study for three years on a large campus.
Pick it if:
You worry about an entrance test: LPUNEST has no fixed pass mark for admission, and a JEE Main or CUET score also counts.
You want workshops and lab visits in the course: LPU builds guest lectures, workshops and educational trips into the curriculum, so you do not arrange them yourself.
You want to choose your hostel cost: LPU lists every room price, from a four-seater air-cooled room to a single AC studio, so your family picks the cost.
You score 220 or more in LPUNEST: the Category I scholarship takes 50% off the programme fee each semester, as the calculator shows.
Skip it if:
You want pay figures for DMLT alone: LPU publishes pay for all its 3-year UG courses together, so the INR 5 LPA median is not a DMLT figure.
You want to start work sooner: this DMLT takes three years over six semesters, a year more than many DMLT courses.
Your Class 12 marks are under 60% and you have no relaxation: you cannot apply to this course, even with a strong LPUNEST score.
You may leave in the first term: the LPU refund table keeps more of the term fee every two weeks from August and returns nothing from mid September.
Counsellor's advice
If your LPUNEST score reaches a scholarship category, book the seat in that phase and get the category in writing. If you need DMLT pay figures, ask the placement cell before you pay the balance fee.

Which is better for Computer Science LPU or Amity Gwalior?
SatnamB.Tech CSE student at LPU
I am currently pursuing B.Tech CSE at LPU. According to me, LPU is one of the best institutes for BTech in Computer Science because of its excellent academics, top placements, scholarship facility, and more.
LPU was ranked 50 by NIRF in 2023 for its Engineering courses. Other than that, LPU has attained the 3rd rank because of the coding expertise demonstrated by its students on the International Coding Platform- HackerEarth. More than 90 students of B.Tech Computer Science at LPU cleared the TCS National Qualifier Test (NQT). The highest package offered to B.Tech Computer Science students at LPU is around INR 64 LPA, and the average package is around INR 14.97 LPA.
I don’t know much about Amity Gwalior, but LPU is definitely a good choice for B.Tech Computer Science.
Which will be better for a BCA, IMS Ghaziabad or LPU?
NehaBCA student at LPU
I am a second year BCA student at LPU. I chose LPU over IMS Ghaziabad for BCA because of the following reasons:

LPU has a better placement record than IMS Ghaziabad. According to the LPU placement report 2023, 100% BCA batch got placed. The highest salary package offered to the LPU BCA students was INR 34.24 LPA during that year.
According to the IMS Ghaziabad placement report 2022, around 25% of students in the BCA program got placed, and the highest salary package offered to the BCA students was INR 10 LPA.
LPU offers BCA, BCA Hons, and BCA Big Data Analytics in a tie-up with IBM. This offers a great industrial exposure to students.
LPU offers scholarships to its students based on their percentage in the qualifying exam or LPUNEST or in the form of financial aid, and more.
LPU offers various skill development programs, professional training, and opportunities for industrial exposure to its students.
When a student chooses a university, they must consider factors such as academic environment, faculty, placement opportunities, ranking, industrial exposure, professional training, infrastructure, etc. So according to these factors, I can say BCA at LPU is better than IMS Ghaziabad.
