LPU: 3 Answered Questions

Which amongst CGC and LPU is ranked better?

Asmita Khandelwal
Meghna BhullarLovely Professional University, Jalandhar

Both LPU and CGC are good institutions, but LPU has certain factors in its favor. 

LPU has better rankings, infrastructure, and placements. It was established around 20+ years ago, while CGC is a newly formed institution. Because of these reasons LPU has better rankings. 

LPU is ranked 50th in the NIRF 2023 Engineering Rankings, while CGC is in the 101-150 ranking list. 

Companies like Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, etc. visit the LPU campus each year for placements.

Thus, LPU is comparatively a better choice than CGC.

LPU is a good college, but it is not placed in the NIRF ranking. Why?

Visha KumarStudied Civil Engineers at Lovely Professional University (2019)

There must have been some misunderstanding. Let me clear it up as I have studied at this college. I can vouch for the fact that LPU is one of the best universities in India. In 2023, some LPU had an overall NIRF ranking of 46 and as a university ranked 38. For the Architecture category, LPU has a nIRF ranking of 16 compared to the 50th rank for Engineering category. NIRF has given LPU 32nd rank for the Management category and 17th for the Pharmacy category. To be precise, NIRF ranking is not the only benchmark when it comes to universities ranking. LPU has significantly ranked higher for the last free years both nationally and globally from different ranking bodies. For the QS World University Ranking of 2024, LPU has ranked 301 in the Asia category.
