From what i have seen EEE at LPU offers decent exposure in terms of labs, practical learning, projects and industry oriented activities. Students get opportunities to explore both core electrical concepts and newer technologies through workshops and training programs. Placements also depend alot on individual skills and consistency, but the university does provide a good platform with training, internships and company visits. Overall, it can be a good option for students who actively work on their skills during college.
