Dear Priyanka Rudhra,

Both are good universities. I have no idea about the mechanical engineering at Chandigarh University.

My friend did BTech in ME from LPU and got placed in an MNC.

School of Mechanical Engineering is the best Mechanical Engineering college in Punjab, India equipped with 40+ labs and modern machining to provide an extra edge to the existing curriculum which focuses on developing a strong basic knowledge.

A Mechanical Engineering student goes through an experiential learning process surrounded by high-end the latest labs and equipment including robotics and automation. International tech-fests and competitions encourage all-round development in our students in addition to giving them international exposure.

Highlights of the programme: Credit Transfer, International Exposure Option: Semester Exchange.

With Quality of Education, Placements in LPU is also amazing, with the top brand in the world coming for Campus Recruitment provides great opportunities to its students. The highest package offered for the programme is 31 LPA.

Some of the companies that visited LPU for mechanical engineering are - BOSCH ENGINEERING AND BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LTD BOSCH AND SIEMENS HOME APPLIANCES GROUP BSHG DRISHTI SOFT SOLUTIONS PRIVATE LIMITED ANGLO EASTERN SHIP MANAGEMENT LTD etc.

Hope this is helpful!

Hello dear Aspirant

Hope you’re doing well

Out of Chandigarh university and LPU, Chandigarh university is much better in ranking and in accordance with reviews too.

Mechanical engineering department and faculty is known  to be very good in Chandigarh university. Campus, infrastructure, placement is also comparatively better.

Hope this helps

Good luck
