My daughter got Btech CSE from UPES , is it worth? She also got Btech (Hons) computer Eng and data Eng from LPU. How both the universities in terms future prospects and placement. She got through symbiosis nagpur and Hyderabad Btech CSE also. Pls advise which one to opt?
Ans: 1. UPES (Dehradun) – BTech CSE
UPES is known for its niche and industry-oriented programs. It has a decent reputation for CSE, especially if your daughter is open to specializations like cybersecurity, cloud computing, etc. Placements have improved in the past few years, but it’s still not at the level of top-tier colleges. Companies do visit, but the very high packages are usually for a small percentage of students.
2. LPU – BTech (Hons) Computer & Data Engineering
LPU is very large in terms of student body and infrastructure. They do push placements and claim high numbers, but again, top packages are limited and competitive. The curriculum is broad, and the Hons with Data Engineering is a useful option if she is interested in data science or analytics. But again, coding and data handling will be important here.
3. Symbiosis Nagpur or Hyderabad – BTech CSE
Symbiosis is very well-known for its law and management programs. Their engineering schools are newer and still growing. Placement-wise, they are behind UPES and LPU for now, especially in tech. The exposure and peer group might be good, but placement networks are still developing.
• If she wants more structured placement support and industry tie-ups, UPES is a slightly better choice than the others at the moment.
• If she’s confident, self-driven, and okay with a big campus environment, LPU with Data Eng could be good, especially if she wants to lean into data science in future.
