Curriculum is advanced and placements are good

Overall: LPU is one of the best UGC-recognised universities in Phagwara, Punjab. It is also approved by the PCI, BCI, and, the NCTE. In order to get admission to the university, you will have to clear entrance exams like LPUNEST, CAT, MAT, JEE, GATE, etc. as per which course you choose. In terms of ranking, LPU is good. Recently only, it was ranked 23rd by the Times Higher Education ranking. The student crowd is diverse. Students from many regional backgrounds are enrolled at the university. I would say that the course fees are usually a little expensive at LPU, but for the majority of the courses, you can also get a suitable ROI.

Placement: As soon as the placement season started, the placement cell kicked start our training. It conducted many informative sessions, made us aware of the current market trends as well as conducted mock interviews. The mock interview really helped me to gain some confidence for the final interview. I secured a successful placement at Microsoft, with a CTC of Rs 4 lakh per annum.

Faculty: There are more than 4000 teachers for all the courses offered at the university. For my batch, luckily all my teachers were really good. They were always on their toes to help us as well as deliver each lecture fruitfully. However, some of my mates from other courses were a little dissatisfied with their teachers.

Hostel: The hostels are expensive at LPU, but then they also have a lot of facilities. Like the fees range from Rs 70,000 to Rs 2 lakh as per the type of room. But the facilities are top-notch. There is a laundry service available, food joints are good on-campus as well as near the campus, a sick room and reading rooms are there. Moreover, the atmosphere is positive and lively.

I got the opportunity to top my semester
By Pratham Sharma | MCA (Master of Computer Applications) | 2021

Overall: Any topic in particular requires a passing grade of 30 out of 100 to pass. The passing marks will be half of the subject's final score, or 15, if the subject total is 50. In A.K.T.U, however, there isn't anything comparable to a set of requirements to pass a semester. regardless of the number of subjects you have mastered or passed. You will advance to the following semester. However, if we talk about the promotion into the following year. To advance to the second year of the B.Tech course, one must pass (with a score of 30/100) in at least six subjects in a year. Although A.K.T.U revised the curriculum and semester structure such that there will only be 3 subjects every semester in each year. The passing requirements would remain the same, but in order to advance to the following year, a student must have successfully completed at least three of the B.Tech. subjects in each year.

AKTU promotes total development
By Shilpa Parmar | MCA (Master of Computer Applications) | 2021

Overall: As for your question, I'll respond that knowledge is more important than a degree. A degree is merely one of the requirements for enrollment. If you are qualified or have a degree but lack the necessary skills, it won't matter. So give up on the degree. Sharpen your abilities in accordance with your field, attempt to pick up some newest knowledge, and become more competent than others. In my opinion, AKTU is educating students with theoretical information. That is incredibly unfair to pupils. I am aware that students have the ability to push themselves further, but the stringent regulations of universities, such as attendance requirements, internals for assignments, and other things, make this impossible. They don't highlight the abilities of the kids. The completion of 75% attendance and Internals is a concern for AKTU students when an IIT third-year student launches a firm at that time. My opinion is that an AKTU degree is no longer valuable. Finding employment is preferable to attending AKTU.
