Is Lovely Professional University good for BTech?

Nischay KumarBTech from LPU

I did my BTech from LPU in 2023. I can say it is one of the top private universities to do BTech. I say this because of 3 main reasons:

  • Skilled Faculty
  • Infrastructure & High-class facilities
  • Latest Technology

LPU’s BTech CSE department has tied-up Google, CompTIA and various other automation companies. LPU has state of the art labs with latest technology to provide hands on practical exposure to students. Students can also go for semester exchange program.

Which one is better for a BTech (CSE): Lovely Professional University or Galgotias University?

Sharad SinghLovely Professional University, Jalandhar

I did my BTech CSE from Galgotias University, but I will put forth an unbiased opinion. 

Here are some factors to compare the two universities-

LPU has good facilities and infrastructure, but I would suggest you opt for Galgotias since it will offer you better opportunities and academics.

  1. Fees- 
    1. The tuition fee for B.Tech CSE at Galgotias is INR 1.54 lakh per annum. The exam fee is INR 15,000 per annum
    2. At LPU, the BTech CSE course fee is INR 1.40 lakh per semester. The exam fee is INR 4,500 per semester. But LPU offers various scholarships to meritorious students. You can visit- https://www.lpu.in/programmes/engineering/b-tech-computer-science for more details. 
  2. Education- The faculty and curriculum of GU are better. Getting decent grades is also comparatively easier at Galgotias.
  3. Management- LPU has over 10,000+ students in total, which is why it’s difficult for the college management to cater to the needs of each and everyone. The management at GU handles student problems more effectively.
  4. Campus- LPU has a bigger and better campus as compared to Galgotias.

I am in my final year of BTech CSE from LPU. I can personally say that our program stands because of the facilities, faculty members, and curriculum. It also helps us get industry exposure and gain both theory and practical knowledge.
