Average experience with Lovely

Not many words, but the placement experience was pretty bad with college. I did get to sit in few of the interviews but could not cash in opportunity for a job. I had to struggle upon my own in the end and got my first job after 1 year gap. This is the case with most of my fellow students. Those of whom got the opportunity to get a job through campus placement are doing good in life but it would have been a good experience if the university put in more efforts for the deserving students of the college.

IIT JEE, AIEEE , I do not remember the score but it was not impressive as far as I can remember. I did not have much choice in colleges since I was planning to study abroad since my background is from Punjab. :) Lovely was providing good seats and the infrastructure seemed good at that time. Also the college was very near to my hometown Hoshiapur so I opted to study in Lovely Professional University. The buildings seemed pretty good from outside and the feedback for the Degree from Lovely PTU was good. Hence I decided to go with the first batch of Lovely Professional University which did not turn out to be a good decision in the end.

Since ours was the first batch, I suppose a good research was put in from the back end to develop the course . As far as I am concerned the course was impressive. All the subjects were relevant , only problem was that a lot of the teachers were new and had to jug down the subject for the first time and teaching them on the same day.

Internship was good, overall 10/10 for the internship experience . I had to clear the academics exam to get into the Lovely Infotech, I did not the opportunity to work with them later on but it was the best experience. I did my internship at lovely infotech and I have gained so much from my mentors.

I had started the semester with a fees of around 40000/ per semester but by the end of the course I was paying about 60000/ fees per month .This college has its own shopping malls so that the student does not have to go outside the college. If you have some plan and you want to start something on your own, LPU always help you. LPU offers the best scholarship program. Here, the fee for BCA and MCA students is near about Rs. 48000 but due to a scholarship program, I only pay near about Rs. 2400. Very expensive course in short.

Overall LPU is one of the fastest growing universities in India and it is making its presence felt. Recently, the honorable president of India came for the convocation ceremony. Before that, MS Dhoni also came here to promote his movie. So, big celebrities keep coming here. LPU is a very big platform and I would recommend people to give it a shot. We have DSA (Division of Student Affairs) which organised all the events from fashion shows to quiz shows. From cultural events to sports events. There are like infinite food kiosks throughout the campus to satisfy our appetite. We have Dominos, Pizza Hut, CCD and other major food outlets. E-rickshaws roam around the entire campus. Talking about hostel rooms, they are spacious as well as well ventilated. Geysers are installed in each and every room and yes, the washrooms are attached with the room itself.

I have been to one of the sessions for the alumni program , it was a hard work of MBA students who pushed the college to provide them with the degree and finally convinced them to arrange a program in Delhi. It was not that impressive except for the fact that I got to see few of my friends. As such there seems to no Alumni network which I am aware of. It should be a good initiative if the college could get us connected. I have shared my interest to join the alumni groups through LinkedIn and Facebook but with no use.

Exam structure is similar to most of the universities. Good strict exam policies , good exam papers and good results in the end. I did maintain a good score till final semester with self study and friends and professors help. Continuous assessments are an integral part of classes to make sure that students are learning whatever is being taught in the form of tests, term papers, case studies, mini projects etc. MTE and ETE (Mid terms and End terms) are the two major exams that a student has to appear for in every semester. The attendance rules are strict and anything below 75% will put you in the detention list. Academics are of international standards, faculties are very supportive and laboratory courses are properly designed

I wanted to opt for CSE but since my marks in 12th class was 60% only, they offered me to go for IT stream . Since it was too late for me to try options with other colleges I opted for this stream. All I had to do next was proceed with the fee payment and submit photocopies of the docs required with the SPOC.

As far as I am concerned the course was impressive. All the subjects were relevant , only problem was that alot of the teachers were new and had to jug down the subject for the first time and teaching them on the same day. Apart from them few faculty members were impressive who could teach and others just seemed to pass of their time waiting for their placement offer date or waiting for Visa for overseas countries. We had a small batch of IIT students joining us as Professors who left after completing their internship in the industry. Disciplined nature and to be on time everywhere. I love to interact with students and feel good about challenges that they give while teaching because they let me explore the topic in depth.
