"What is the eligibility criteria for B.Tech (Electronics & Communication Engineering) students to participate in campus placements at LPU? "
LPU conducts two types of placement drives: Joint Placement Drives and Normal Placement Drives. In Joint Placement Drives, multiple colleges/universities and LPU organize the drive, allowing students from those institutions to participate. The minimum eligibility criterion for Normal Placement Drives by LPU is a CGPA of 5.0 (50%).
Different companies have specific eligibility criteria; for example, Company A may require a CGPA of 7.0 or above with no backlogs. Company B may accept students with a CGPA of 6.5 or higher and a maximum of one backlog.
LPU automatically registers eligible students for upcoming company placements, with a one-day window to deregister if uninterested. Company visits are announced daily on the LPU Touch App, which provides details such as the registered student list, location, and reporting time.
Students facing issues regarding a specific company placement can inform the placement coordinator. Proper formal attire, including the LPU logo blazer, full-sleeve pastel-coloured shirt, matching pants, tie, formal shoes, and well-groomed appearance, is mandatory for all students attending placements.

Can CEC students do engineering?
No, as a CEC student (Commerce, Economics and Civics), you can’t pursue B.Tech studies in India. This is because for opting B.Tech one needs to have completed +2 with Maths and Physics. Since you don’t have these subjects in your +2, you can’t opt for engineering studies.
Which engineering branch uses organic chemistry?
In most Indian colleges, organic chemistry is part of the first year mandatory curriculum, which is the same across all B.Tech branches. Other than that, some colleges offer Organic Chemistry as an elective in the Chemical Engineering curriculum.
Chemical Engineering is more concerned with optimizing and increasing the productivity of a process, and less with the reaction mechanism part. Despite this, organic chemistry is present in some CE subjects in parts. These subjects are Petroleum Engineering, Biochemistry, and Chemical Process Technology. Across the globe, and not just in India, Organic Chemistry is a part of the Chemical curriculum, even if not directly.
After doing 1 year of BTech can I change my college?
Whether or not you can change your college after B.Tech 1st year completely depends on the norms of your present college/university. Some colleges allow it, while some don't. Also, you must score good grades during the first year in order to change your college. My brother had changed his engineering college from JSSATEN Noida to NIT Patna after his first year.
Is biotech better than mechanical engineering?
While choosing an engineering branch you should consider your career goals, interests and inclination. Both these branches have different scope and objectives. Mechanical engineering deals with designing and manufacturing mechanical systems, and Biotech combines Biology and Technology for development in areas like healthcare, agriculture, and environmental conservation. It is important for you to go through the curriculum of both these branches to decide which one better suits your interests and long term goals.
Mechanical will offer you job opportunities in the automotive, aerospace, energy, robotics, and manufacturing sector. After Biotech you can work in the Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, and agricultural sector. It is up to you to analyze the potential and market demand for both these branches.
If you are skilled in Maths, Physics, Problem-solving, and Design, you can opt for Mechanical. On the other hand, Biotechnology requires an understanding of Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Lab Techniques, and Data Analysis. Biotechnology is constantly making new innovations in fields like genetic engineering, drug development, and bioprocessing.
This choice is highly subjective, and completely depends upon your own interest. Both these fields are making rapid progress in their own manner. You have to ultimately decide which one is more in line with your own aspirations.
