• Registration: Students must proactively register with the Career Development & Placement Cell (CDPC).

Tips to Improve Your Placement Chances at LPU

Data from placement seasons reveals consistent patterns among students who land the best offers:

1. Build a Strong CGPA Early

A CGPA of 7.5 or above opens doors to premium company shortlists. Grades matter less for mass recruiters but are critical for product companies and MNCs.

2. Leverage LPU’s Internship Ecosystem

Over 3,000 LPU students in 2025 secured internships with monthly stipends ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹2.62 Lakhs. Companies like Cognizant, Microsoft, ISRO, and Infosys actively convert strong interns into full-time employees via PPOs.

3. Develop In-Demand Technical Skills

• For CSE/IT: Data Structures & Algorithms, system design, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), and competitive programming.
• For Robotics/Automation: ROS, Python, computer vision, and embedded systems.
• For MBA: Excel/Power BI, financial modelling, case analysis, and CRM tools.

4. Aim for Multiple Offers

In 2025, 1,912 students received multiple job offers. Students like Krishnadev Yadav and Shubham Shukla each secured five offers — a result of appearing in several drives rather than waiting for a single “dream company.”

5. Use LPU’s CDPC Resources

LPU conducted over 100 training sessions including coding bootcamps and mock interviews in 2025. These are not optional extras — students who attend consistently show significantly better conversion rates in placement rounds.

Common Mistakes Students Make (And How to Avoid Them)

• Starting preparation in the final semester: Placement preparation needs at least one full year. Start from Semester 5 or 6.
• Ignoring backlogs: Even a single active backlog can make you ineligible for most drives. Clear them as fast as possible.
• Skipping pre-placement training: LPU’s internal training is directly mapped to recruiter expectations. Missing it is a major handicap.
• Only targeting dream companies: Apply broadly, secure an offer, and then keep attempting higher packages. A bird in hand matters.
• Poor LinkedIn and resume presence: Many LPU recruiters screen candidates online before campus visits. Your digital profile needs to be clean and current.
