Yes !!! As many students have gotten direct foreign placements from LPU, and yes I am NOT referring to getting placed in an international company and working in India but, getting placed in a company in foreign. However, as a rational being we should understand that, its might not always be the case. LPU has a great interlinked networks with national and international companies coming to LPU for recruitment. It does depends on the company’s need and demands while recruiting students. LPU, does provides a lot of opportunities for the students to take foreign placements, a few of the students I know have been placed abroad and are earning great salary. Two of my students I know are working in Thailand, Few in Gulf countries as a project engineers, 2 MBA students were placed in Moody’s Analytics abroad, a lot of Hospitality, Tourism and Hotel Management students are placed all around the world. If you are a hard worker and with the opportunities provided by this university, I believe you will definitely able to secure a direct foreign placement. Hope this information was helpful, feel free to ask any question related, I will to the best of knowledge be happy to help. Do give this answer an up-vote and follow me to guide you in any way in near future. Happy Learning.
