Hi,

LPU is a really good university. It has great infrastructure and good faculty members. Also the labs and research exposure is amazing and the sanctions are great in number. The university has also signed several MOUs with Universities abroad and that allows students to study for a semester or two in other universities in US and UK and even Canada. Doing a btech in food technology from LPU can turn out to be a really good option.

I hope this helps.

All the best.
