Internships Opportunities:

My college provides good intership oppertunity for students, especially in technical courses like CSE. Many companies such as TCS , Infosys, Wipro, Capgemini, Cognizant and other startups offer intership roles like Software Developer Intern, Web Developer Intern, Data Analyst Intern and System Engineer Intern. The stipend usually depends on the company, but it can range from ?8000 to ?25000 per month for most interships. During interships, students work on real time projects such as developing websites, creating software applications, working on data analysis, testing applications or supporting backend systems. These projects help students gain practical knowledge and improve their technical and communication skills. The outcome of these internships is very beneficial because students get industry exposure, hands-on experience and sometimes even pre-placement offers. Overall internship opportunities at my college help students prepare for real-world jobs and improve their career prospects.

LPU: 3 Answered Questions

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.

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.
