As an alumni of LPU, I can confirm that the university provides internship opportunities to the students of the CSE stream. Cognizant, Microsoft, Infosys, ISRO and ABB are some of the top companies where CSE students from LPU have worked as interns.
Other than internships, LPU also provides students with the opportunities to work on real-time industry projects. Students are trained in Android and digital programming through a collaboration with Google. The university has also partnered with Microsoft, CISCO, Tech Mahindra and others to provide hands-on training to CSE students on the various aspects of computer science.
LPU follows CGPA i.e., Cumulative Grade Point Average as a grading system to help students evaluate their progress in their respective courses. Students are provided grades based on their marks. To calculate the CGPA, students have to divide their total grade points for all semester subjects by the total number of credit hours attended.
For a CGPA out of ten, students can divide their percentage by 9.5 and the resulting sum will be the CGPA. Points for various grades are mentioned in the following table.
Grade | Points |
---|---|
O | 10 |
A+ | 9 |
A | 8 |
B+ | 7 |
B | 6 |
C | 5 |
D | 4 |
E (Reappear) | 0 |
F (Fail), G (Backlog) | 0 |
I completed my BTech from LPU in 2021. From what I experienced during my time there, I can safely conclude that the placement policy at LPU is really good. LPU has a dedicated department called the Centre for Professional Enhancement that works to prepare students for various campus drives and provide students with career opportunities.
During the second year of the course, students are required to choose a placement and appear in the exam. Students opting for placement have to pay the placement fee and are provided with PEP classes, preparation courses, interview preparation and more. LPU has more than 5500 offers from Fortune 500 companies with more than 2100 students hired. The average salary for the top 25% of students placed was INR 10.1 Lakh.
As a BTech student at LPU, I can provide the first-year syllabus for BTech in CSE. The first-year syllabus generally covers foundational subjects required to develop a strong base in students to understand computer science. The year is divided into 2 semesters which are called Autumn Term and Spring Term at LPU. The syllabus for both terms is mentioned in the tables below.

Students can also pursue four elective courses in various specialisations and aspects during the curriculum to develop additional skills and competency.
For fee structure without any scholarships, the total cost of B.Tech at LPU is INR 11.20 Lakhs. Other than the tuition fee, the students also have to pay around INR 44,000 as hostel fees. The hostel fee is calculated based on the first year/semester. If all the amount is calculated, students have to pay around a total of INR 15.60 lakhs to pursue BTech at LPU including hostel charges.
The total fee for BTech depends on the student's performance in the LPUNEST exam. The university offers heavy discounts to students with good scores that bring down the total cost by large numbers. Students with exceptional records can expect their entire tuition fee covered by the university. LPU has allocated over INR 100 crores of amount to students as scholarships.
