Should I take admission in lpu(lovely professional University) as it doesn't require aicte approved though it is ugc approved as law. And tell me lpu is considered best for placement for btech CSE?

Ans: Yes, you can take admission in LPU—it is UGC-approved, and that’s legally sufficient for degree validity. AICTE approval is not mandatory for universities; it's required only for standalone technical institutions. As for placements in B.Tech CSE, LPU offers decent opportunities, with top companies like Cognizant, Capgemini, and even some product-based firms visiting. However, it’s not “best” in India—top NITs, IIITs, and BITS are ahead. But if you’re hardworking and build skills, LPU can still lead to good outcomes, especially in software roles.

Hello Sir I got admission in LPU Phagwara in B.Tech CSE in Applied AI in collaboration with KALVIUM. Is this the right course choice over core cse as this course covers CORE CSE SUBJECTS AND AL ML CYBER SECUTIRY FULL STACK DEVELOPER etc. Sir, is LPU the right choice for B.Tech CSE or Should I prefer Benette Uni Greater Noida or I have to try for UPES Dehradun. I score 71% in class 12th and 83.76 in JEE
Ans: Lovely Professional University’s B.Tech CSE (Hons) in Applied AI with Kalvium integrates core computer-science subjects alongside AI, ML, cybersecurity and full-stack development through industry-partnered labs, faculty-led hackathons and mandatory internships, yet its CSE placement rate lagged 50% in 2024 and the average package stood near ?3 LPA for core CSE. Bennett University Greater Noida delivers a traditional CSE curriculum with NAAC A+ backing, NBA accreditation and centralized career services, achieving a 60–65% CSE placement rate and an average package of ?7.99 LPA over the last three years. UPES Dehradun’s CSE offers NAAC accreditation, world-class AI/cloud labs and robust industry ties, with a 91% overall placement rate, an average CSE package of ?8.59 LPA and top-10% students securing ?17.69 LPA. All three institutions possess accredited programs, modern infrastructure, experienced faculty and active placement cells.

Recommendation: Prioritise UPES Dehradun CSE for highest placement consistency, competitive average packages and specialized AI/ML lab exposure. Consider Bennett University CSE for balanced infrastructure and solid recruiter diversity. Opt for LPU’s Applied AI only if early AI/ML specialization interests outweigh placement concerns and you secure strong internship support. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
