The baryon to photon ratio in the present Universe is very accurately measured to be $6.19 \times 10^{-10}$. We study the possible origin of this baryon asymmetry in the neutrino sector through the generic mechanism of baryogenesis through leptogenesis. We consider both type I and type II seesaw origin of neutrino masses within the framework of left right symmetric models (LRSM). Using the latest best fit global neutrino oscillation data and assuming the Dirac neutrino mass matrix to be either charged lepton (CL) or up quark (UQ) type, we compute the predictions for baryon to photon ratio keeping the lightest active neutrino mass eigenstate a free parameter for both normal and inverted hierarchical cases. We show that in inverted hierarchical scenario with type I seesaw, observed baryon asymmetry can not be generated for both CL and UQ type Dirac neutrino mass matrices. We also study the predictions for baryon asymmetry when the neutrino masses arise from a combination of both type I and type II (with one of them dominant at a time) and show that observed baryon asymmetry can be generated within these models upto certain exceptions.
