The university's overall curriculum is quite academic-friendly, and the professors here are good at mentoring students. They are highly educated, and most hail from prestigious universities like IITs and NITs. The teachers are really helpful in all aspects. They not only aim to teach students but also to help them become successful.

As per the mixed student reviews, LPU B.Arch students start getting placement opportunities at the beginning of the 5th semester. Around 80% of students get placed. The university has tie-ups with various agricultural firms like Raj Renewals, etc. However, the placement scenario is not the same for B.Arch students as for the Computer Science and Electrical branches.
