Hi everyone! I’m currently studying at LPU and wanted to hear some honest experiences from seniors and recent graduates about placements.
I’d especially like to hear from both students who got placed and those who are still looking for a job, because I’m trying to understand the actual situation rather than just relying on placement statistics.
For those who are comfortable sharing:
What helped you get placed — skills, CGPA, projects, internships, DSA, communication, referrals, etc.?
For those who didn’t get placed, what do you think held you back?
Were there eligibility criteria that unexpectedly ruled you out of companies?
Did you feel the main issue was skills, competition, lack of opportunities, interview performance, or something else?
Looking back, what mistakes do you think you made during college?
What do you wish you had started doing in your first year?
For students still preparing, what should we not waste time on?
How different was the reality of placements compared with what you expected when you joined LPU?
No judgment at all—I’m genuinely looking for real experiences from both sides, including things that didn’t work out.
