Should you pick LLM at LPU?
This course suits LLB graduates who want a quick master's for teaching, research or practice on a big private campus.
Pick it if:
You want to teach law later: an LLM is the master's degree college teaching jobs ask for, and here you finish it in one year.
Your LPUNEST score is high: the top scholarship slab takes 60% off tuition, so your fee drops a lot.
You want to finish fast: the course has two semesters, and you write the dissertation in the second one.
You want a big campus life: law students share one large campus near Jalandhar with students of many other courses.
Skip it if:
You want a big starting salary: the law school average is INR 4 LPA, much lower than the top offer of INR 13 LPA.
You are not sure of your LLB marks: LPU needs 50% in LLB, so check your final marks before you pay any fee.
You want a cheap hostel: a two-seater AC room costs INR 1.29 Lakhs for the year, close to the tuition fee.
You want a national law university name: LPU is a private university at NIRF law rank 26, not a national law university.

FAQs on LPU LLM
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the LLM at LPU worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want a one-year master's at a moderate cost. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.70 Lakhs, and a good LPUNEST score takes 30% to 60% off tuition. The law school's average pay is INR 4 LPA, so the fee is less than half of one year's pay. Check your scholarship slab before you pay the first semester fee.
What job can I get after this LLM?▾
An LLM helps you teach law, do research, practise in court or work in a company legal team. The law school's latest batch averaged INR 4 LPA, and the highest offer was INR 13 LPA. LPU does not publish LLM-only placement figures, so ask the placement cell which employers hired LLM students last year before you join.
Who should not take this course at LPU?▾
Skip it if you want a big salary right after the course or a national law university name. The law school's average pay is INR 4 LPA, and LPU sits at NIRF law rank 26. If you want those, try for a national law university seat and keep LPU as your backup.
Should I take this LLM if I want to teach law?▾
Yes, it can help. An LLM is the master's degree that college teaching jobs ask for, and most posts also need UGC NET (the national test for college teaching) or a PhD. Here you finish the LLM in one year, so you can sit for UGC NET sooner. Pick a specialisation close to the subject you want to teach.
Is a one-year LLM better than a two-year LLM?▾
For most students, yes. UGC rules made the one-year LLM the standard course in India, and it counts for teaching jobs and a PhD. A one-year course also costs you one year of fees and hostel, not two. If you plan to study or work abroad later, check that country's rules first.
Should I take the seat if my LPUNEST score is low?▾
Only if the fee still works for you without a big scholarship. A low score may get only the lowest slab, which takes 30% off tuition, or no slab at all. Use the scholarship calculator above to see your net fee, and compare it with your other offers before you pay.
Should I wait a year and try for a better college?▾
Only if you are sure of a much better seat next year. This LLM takes one year, so waiting costs you the same time as finishing the course. If a national law university is your aim, write its entrance test while you study here, and decide once you have both results.
Is the hostel worth the extra cost?▾
It depends on where you live. A two-seater AC room costs INR 1.29 Lakhs for the year, which takes the total to INR 2.99 Lakhs. If you live near Jalandhar, staying at home saves most of that. If not, the hostel saves daily travel, so turn on the toggle in the fee block to see the full cost.
How do I get admission to the LLM at LPU?▾
Fill the LPUNEST form online and write the test in a slot you choose. LPU then sends a seat offer with your scholarship slab. You pay the first semester fee to book the seat, and you report with your LLB mark sheets. Check the admission dates block above for the expected months.
What marks do I need in LLB?▾
You need at least 50% marks in LLB. LPU checks your mark sheets at reporting, so a seat can be cancelled if your marks fall short. If you are close to 50%, confirm your final marks before you pay any fee.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes, in two parts. You pay INR 80,000 tuition and INR 5,000 exam fee each semester, so the full fee is never due at once. If you need smaller parts than that, ask the LPU fee office about education loans before the semester starts.
The Law Department at Lovely Professional University (LPU) is known for its excellent learning environment and well-regarded faculty. The academic year is structured with exams occurring in two phases: midterms at the end of September and end terms in December. In terms of placements for law courses, LPU offers satisfactory opportunities, with an average package of 4 lakh INR and a highest package of 13 lakh INR for recent graduates, indicating room for further improvement.
The fee for the LLM program is structured at 2.4 lakh INR per year, divided into two installments, payable at the beginning of each semester. Additionally, students must pay an examination fee of 4,500 INR each semester. Scholarships are available, potentially covering up to 50% of tuition fees, contingent upon performance in the LPUNEST exam.

Which is better for Computer Science LPU or Amity Gwalior?
SatnamB.Tech CSE student at LPU
I am currently pursuing B.Tech CSE at LPU. According to me, LPU is one of the best institutes for BTech in Computer Science because of its excellent academics, top placements, scholarship facility, and more.
LPU was ranked 50 by NIRF in 2023 for its Engineering courses. Other than that, LPU has attained the 3rd rank because of the coding expertise demonstrated by its students on the International Coding Platform- HackerEarth. More than 90 students of B.Tech Computer Science at LPU cleared the TCS National Qualifier Test (NQT). The highest package offered to B.Tech Computer Science students at LPU is around INR 64 LPA, and the average package is around INR 14.97 LPA.
I don’t know much about Amity Gwalior, but LPU is definitely a good choice for B.Tech Computer Science.
Which will be better for a BCA, IMS Ghaziabad or LPU?
NehaBCA student at LPU
I am a second year BCA student at LPU. I chose LPU over IMS Ghaziabad for BCA because of the following reasons:

LPU has a better placement record than IMS Ghaziabad. According to the LPU placement report 2023, 100% BCA batch got placed. The highest salary package offered to the LPU BCA students was INR 34.24 LPA during that year.
According to the IMS Ghaziabad placement report 2022, around 25% of students in the BCA program got placed, and the highest salary package offered to the BCA students was INR 10 LPA.
LPU offers BCA, BCA Hons, and BCA Big Data Analytics in a tie-up with IBM. This offers a great industrial exposure to students.
LPU offers scholarships to its students based on their percentage in the qualifying exam or LPUNEST or in the form of financial aid, and more.
LPU offers various skill development programs, professional training, and opportunities for industrial exposure to its students.
When a student chooses a university, they must consider factors such as academic environment, faculty, placement opportunities, ranking, industrial exposure, professional training, infrastructure, etc. So according to these factors, I can say BCA at LPU is better than IMS Ghaziabad.
