Lovely Professional University: Worth joining or completely crap?

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

Hey guys,
I've got a call from LPU today saying that I can get BTech wit CS.
I got a big "NOT" in JEE-09 result, not expecting something good in AIEEE & UPTU too (over 1L--yea! am a PCM idiot)

So, if I don't get lucky in AIEEE & UPTU:

1) is LPU worth going?

2) is a fee of Rs64K+hostel per semester reasonable?

3) is the placement any good?

website: lpu.in

Its would be my last option. Please put up ur suggestions...thx a lot

PS: i knw abt lovely sweets, so don't talk abt it

Lovely Professional University review

1) Faculty: The faculty compromises mostly of undergraduates(Btech) and there are very few professors. Some of the faculty is helping but many of them will mark you absent for "indiscipline".But none of the faculty is brilliant. Very few actually know what they are teaching.

2) Library: The library is comparable to most school libraries in foreign countries but leaving that aside it still sucks by indian standards. Most of the times you wont find the book you want because it is taken by some other student. The university has 25000+ students and the library is very cramped. There are very few books which are outside of syllabus. Its definately not a good place to sit and have a good informative read.I dont even want to mention the magazine subscriptions.

They have around 100 computers with internet connection which is fast enough for regular browsing but beware these computers run on 400 mhz AMD processor(under kill even by browsing standards) and 512 MB RAM to save power. And you will never find a computer thats not occupied.

3) Hostel: They are increasing hostel charges after this sem. they charge around 50000 rupees for a 4 seater and 60k for 2 seaters(approx) . The rooms are fine. not cramped but also not very spacious. They have coolers and hot water geysers which do work. Cleaners come to clean the rooms couple of times a week. They have wifi in hostel and the speeds range around 256kbps to 8 mbps (no kidding) depending how close to the access point you are. In some rooms you will get downloading speeds of around 250 KBPS to 1 MBPS . The average is around 30 kBPS atleast. But in some rooms you wont be even able to connect. But the wifi is not reliable and goes down just when you need it.

Food is not bad if you are a holocaust victim or are hungry for centuries. On occasions you may have to push and steal just to get a roti. Some days they just hold the roti high up in the air and the one who jumps up highest gets the roti. You will probably have to wait 20 minutes to get a spoon to eat in this damn place.

Your other options to eat are very limited. Non veg is not allowed inside the campus. The kiosks near to the hostel sell 2 paranthas for 20 rupees and they are as thin as roomali roties . The campus cafe is quarter to decent and mostly overcrowded. your other option is to eat at chicken dhaba outside the campus but i wont review it. Its your average national highway dhaba but way way more overcrowded . (30 mins to 1 hour to get your butter chicken + 10 mins for each roti at peak hours) . you may also travel 5 kms + to jalandhar or Lucky dhaba.

4)University rules : No smoking , No drinking , No drugs, No multimedia mobile phones. (This may be fine for some parents but i think its completely childish). There are however many many "ways" by which you can get your daily dose of himachali marijuana or beer).

75 % attendence is compulsary or you WILL be detained for the semester. If you fall ill give them the medical report but there are still 70% chances that you will get detained.

5-8 assignments + 1 term paper per subject(may or may not be fine according to your viewpoint).

I am too tired to write more rules now but feel free to ask

5) placement? If you are an average student forget it. Get your dad to open a business for you or go for higher studies. Good students can do great things without even going to college.

About the students: Most of them are dumb****s who cudnt pass an enterence test and cant write a half decent review(like me).


first impression:
nice buildings nice girls yaay im in heaven!

after some days when the sem starts and you get notice the population around you and have to wait in lines to get a spoon then you will know the first impression was a satan's way of luring you into hell.

Verdict: join this university if you dont get admission any other place and your dad has lots of money but not enough to pay donation to better colleges. If you like lots of girls and dont mind the over populated places then this is the place to be.in

will let you know more or start a new thread if people are interested.

[pr.itdude]

well.......if u get a personal call from a clg that u can avail admission, even if u didnt scored well in AIEEE......above 2 lakh rank.......
then it simply means.........they r making u fool nd filling their seats so that their business dont get in loss... it can be compared to getting a call from a credit card company !!

and abt fees......the fees in all private clgs in north india is almost same......!!!
Its better to give a one tym donation.......(if u r capable of nd dont want to waste a year) then getting non-donation seat in such crap clgs........!!!

Btw, bst of luck for all aspirants !!:-P

Ya that's right
64K is too much for LPU (LOLing People's Union)

[confused]

while i agree LPU = CRAP
i read an article in HT about 2 weeks back which said that LPU had hired 17 IITD Btechs for various positions in their institute this year.

Some food for thought.

[utsav]

If LPU is so crap then who the hell gave it A++ rating?

[girish.g]

who gave it A++ rating??

Havnt u seen the tv ads of LPU in which they boldly say A++ rated university

[confused]

dunno

[Tech.Masti]

May be some private company rates it.....

[dreamcatcher]

My friend studies there. If you have queries feel free to ask me. All i know, the campus is bloody huge, the chicks are hot,lots of exchange students in campus, those guys are insanely strict(heard they expelled a guy for using a multimedia phone or something),food is pathetic(only veg but you can have food at a court outside).

do you really think that's true??VIT, Amity university and SRM university all claim that they are the no. 1 Private institute in india
