During my time at LPU, I had some friends who were pursuing MTech. According to their experience:
As MTech is a technical course, LPU students are required to undergo practical training in laboratories. LPU strongly believes in laboratory sessions and practical training and has well-equipped laboratories.
Practicals are an important component of MTech courses that allow students to learn the real-world use and impact of various course aspects. LPU has laboratories with modern infrastructure tailored to each specialisation of the MTech course.
Additionally, the university also collaborates with companies to offer internships and industry projects for students.
There are many resources at LPU that MTech students can consider for preparation.
