ife at LPU: A Journey of Learning and Opportunities

At LPU, the curriculum is designed with inputs from industry experts, so it stays relevant to current market trends. It’s not just about theory—there’s a strong focus on hands-on projects, internships, and real-world case studies, which help me apply what I learn in a practical way. There are plenty of specializations to choose from, so I can align my studies with my interests and career goals. Plus, skill development programs, workshops, and certifications make me more job-ready in a competitive market.

I am currently in my 2nd year and have not started doing any internships. However, there are a lot of internship opportunities that LPU provides that may or may not provide any stipend. It is compulsory to do internships in your third year. The curriculum makes you do various projects and assignments from the 1st year itself so you can build an attractive resume.

PU offers excellent placement opportunities to all eligible students through its dedicated Division of Career Services, a team of around 40 professionals, along with support from the Centre for Professional Enhancement and faculty members from various departments. Each year, LPU continues to set new benchmarks in student placements, with over 1000 companies visiting the campus for industry-academia activities and recruitment drives. LPU graduates are making their mark in over 1800 reputed companies worldwide, showcasing the university’s strong industry connections.

The tuition fee was 120000 per year in 2023. It might keep increasing per year. There was a scholarship of 30%. The scholarship depends on a lot of factors like your 12th marks or any competative exam marks etc.There is also an exam fee of 4000 rupees.

There are a lot of fests and programs being conducted at LPU. Since there are students from different states here, they all celebrate their festivals. LPU has a huge library; there are books about almost all subjects. If you are a book lover, you have something to look forward to. There are multiple clubs you can join depending on your interests. The clubs also have programs you can attend in your free time Overall, LPU has a pretty decent campus life.

The hostel rooms are pretty decent. You can choose between an AC room or a non-AC room. The mess food is not that good. They provide a standard 4 meals or you can choose how many meals you want per day. The hostel fee is about 90000 per year and it keeps increasing per year. The mess fee is 42000 for 4 meals. There are also apartments inside the campus but they might be more expensive. You can choose PG outside which is cheaper.

I applied to some local colleges in my area and even got selected for one. But, When I got to know about LPU, I immediately applied for it because I always wanted to study somewhere outside my home state. There is an entrance exam called LPUNEST you need to crack to get inside LPU. After passing the exam, the faculty will call you and explain everything about the admission process

The faculty-to-student ratio depends on the course you take. For courses like Btech CSE, where there are a lot of students, teachers have to manage 60-70 students in one class, whereas in other courses like chemical engineering, the students are fewer. Most of the teachers are good, but some are not that qualified. Exams are either MCQ, which is a little tough, or subjective, which is comparatively easier.

If you are a boy hosteller, you can roam around the campus till 12 in the night. But girls are only allowed outside the hostel till 7:30 pm, after that you will need special permission. The library stays open till midnight. The cafeterias and the gym closes around 9-10 pm. You can hang around the Robo park, which is like the main hang out spot for students.
