Our comprehensive placement assistance initiatives are designed to provide personalized support that aligns with individual strengths, interests, and career goals. Here, we explore the various initiatives tailored to help our students succeed:
Personalized Career Counseling
LPU offers personalized career counseling services to help students understand their strengths, interests, and career goals. Our advisors work one-on-one with students to guide them in selecting appropriate career paths and job roles that align with their aspirations. This tailored support ensures that students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Diverse Industry Exposure
The placement cell at LPU partners with a wide array of industries and companies, ensuring that students from different disciplines and specializations have access to relevant job opportunities. This diverse exposure helps cater to the varied interests and career goals of our student body, providing a wider range of options for students to explore.
Professional Enhancement Program (PEP) Courses
The curriculum at LPU incorporates specific courses under the notion of PEP, where students are prepared to crack placement processes. Starting right from the first semester, PEP classes are conducted. These classes cover essential skills such as communication, resume writing, interview techniques, and industry-specific knowledge, which enhance students' employability.
Internship Opportunities
LPU offers a range of internship opportunities across various industries. These internships provide students with practical experience and exposure to real-world work environments. Internships not only help students build their resumes but also gain valuable industry insights and establish professional connections. For the 2022 batch, 75% of students who completed internships secured full-time employment (FTE) or pre-placement offers (PPOs) with the same company or better packages in other companies, with the highest monthly stipend being Rs 160,000.
Job Fairs and Recruitment Drives
We regularly host job fairs and recruitment drives where multiple companies visit the campus to hire students. These events are organized to accommodate the diverse career interests of students, offering a range of opportunities across different sectors. This ensures that students can explore various professional paths and make informed career decisions.
Alumni Network
LPU leverages its extensive alumni network to support current students. Alumni often participate in mentorship programs, offering career advice and helping students with job placements through referrals and insights into the industry. This network plays a crucial role in providing students with valuable industry connections and guidance.
Customized Placement Support
For students with unique career goals or those seeking opportunities in niche sectors, LPU’s placement cell provides customized support. This includes targeted job search strategies, networking opportunities, and connections with specialized companies. This additional support ensures that students are well-prepared to pursue their specific career paths.
Online Job Portals and Resources
LPU provides access to online job portals and career resources where students can search for job openings, apply for positions, and track their application status. These resources offer flexibility and convenience in the job search process, helping students to stay informed and proactive in their career development.
Feedback and Continuous Improvement
The placement cell actively seeks feedback from students and employers to continuously improve its placement initiatives. We adapt our strategies and services based on this feedback to better meet the evolving needs of students and the job market. This ensures that our initiatives remain relevant and effective.
In conclusion, LPU's placement assistance initiatives are designed to be comprehensive and adaptable, ensuring that they effectively address the diverse needs of students and support them in achieving their career goals.
