Dear Friends,

Chandigarh University and Lovely Professional University are leading private universities in India in education sector.

But for the forensic science programme, I would LPU in terms of equipped labs, placements, etc.

Kindly go through the LPU website once, you will find more information about this programme.

Hope this helps
Good Luck!!!

Placements at Chandigarh University is far better than Lovely professional university . Chandigarh University has set new record with Joint Placement Drive for Hewlett Packard in which more than 13000 Students participated.
