I completed my degree from LPU in 2023. Talking about the holidays, the university provides students with a good number of off days throughout the semester year. Students are provided Saturdays and Sundays off with only 5 days of classes and practicals. 

At the end of the odd semester, students are given off for 10-15 days and when the even semester ends, 2 months are given off to students. Candidates can also expect holidays on major festivals like Independence Day, Republic Day and others.

Students can also apply for hostel leave when they are out of the campus through the University Management System (UMS).

When I completed my graduation, I was unsure of which college to opt for my MBA. My friend was pursuing his engineering from LPU at the time, and he told me some of the things about the university that attracted me towards LPU.

Here are some good things about LPU which have contributed to its fame-

1. Diversity- The campus is home to students from all over India, and more than 70 other countries. The diverse student crowd provided me with a lot of cultural exposure. I came to understand and respect various cultures and their associated practices. This in turn has made me more comfortable and open to working in any part of the world.

2. Infrastructure- LPU is a private university, and it spends a good amount of money in maintaining its infrastructure. The campus has every facility within itself including a Hospital, Shopping Mall, Sports Complex, Gym, etc. It is a mini city in itself.

3. Academics-

The University follows an up-to-date curriculum, which is in line with the modern industry standards. For MBA, it has tie-ups with industry leaders like KPMG, IBM, NSE, and others. 

I have attached a screenshot of the first year MBA curriculum for your reference-

4. Famous Personality Visits to the campus-

Many renowned personalities from various fields have visited the LPU campus in the past. Some of them are- The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India- Shri Narendra Modi, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Ayushmann Khurrana among others. 

5. Hosting important events like ISC (Indian Science Congress)-

The huge campus and top infrastructure of LPU allows it to host important seminars and conferences. The university hosted the 106th Indian Science Congress in 2019, which was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi.

These are some things about LPU which make it shine and stand out from among other universities. 

I have completed my BTech in Mechanical from LPU in 2021. The few things that worked for me and proved that LPU was a great choice included reasons like placements, syllabus, faculty, ranking, accreditations and more. I have listed some of them down for your reference.LPU is one of the top universities in India and offers great training in this area. It is easy to find employment as well through campus placements which makes it a good choice. Several top companies visit LPU during the placement season. During my placements, tech giants such as TCS, IBM, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc offered job opportunities to us. LPU also collaborates with companies to offer hands-on training and projects to focus on the practical aspect of studies. The collaborations also helped us to secure job placements as mechanical engineering graduates.

Apart from the placements, the updated curriculum is also a great advantage. LPU students also have all the facilities at one place. You can enroll for extracurricular activities such as swimming, take part in competitions or societies, and cultural events. The hostel is fully equipped as well and there is a gym too. Modern labs, extensive libraries, and advanced infrastructure along with a knowledgable faculty was also something that gave LPU an edge.In conclusion, Lovely Professional University stands out as a great choice if you want to pursue mechanical engineering.

LPUNEST is conducted for admission to several courses. The cut-off completely depends on the course you are applying for. I did my BA LLB from LPU. The LPUNEST is of 200 marks. I scored 165 marks and easily got admission and a scholarship. The LPUNEST cut offs vary as per your category as well. As per the official website the cut-offs and scholarships depend on the following.

You can also refer to the following table to check the tentative LPUNEST cut offs for MBA, Btech, or LLB admission

LPU provides both UG and PG Fashion Designing Courses in several specializations. I started doing my graduation in 2016. The BDes Fashion Design course has a comprehensive curriculum and taught me a lot of things including contemporary expertise. The LPU Fashion Designing programs also focus on using cutting-edge technologies and updates the students regarding the current market trends.

LPU has a high focus on both the theory and practical aspect of a subject. I attended several workshops, fashion shows, field visits, and industry interactions to focus on the real life industry and help in my training. I studied at the LPU School of Design and was mesmerised by the labs as well where we are encouraged to experiment with different materials to create designs and accessories.

Apart from the curriculum, infrastructure, and pedagogy, the placements at LPU for Fashion design graduates also have a great success record. After completing our graduation we could work at top design houses where our alumni have also secured job opportunities such as Anshul Rajwansh, Archana Kochhar, Aslam Khan (Delhi), Pam Mehta (Delhi), etc. In the last placements students have also been placed at top companies like H & M. The highest package also goes up to 14 LPA or more at times.

The eligibility criteria for admission into LPU varies for every degree.

For instance, if you want admission into B.Tech at LPU, here is the minimum eligibility criteria-

1. You must score a minimum of 60% in class 12th with English, Physics and Maths as compulsory subjects.
2. You must qualify LPUNEST.

For BA admissions, you need to score passing marks in class 12th. LPUNEST is not mandatory for admissions. 

Thus, the eligibility criteria is completely different for different courses. You can visit the LPU website and search for the eligibility criteria of your particular course. 

I am assuming by droppers you mean people who left their degree at LPU in the middle. If so, then yes, there are students who do so because of various reasons.

One example of the same is my friend. She had joined B.Tech ECE in the same year that I did. But from the very first day she told me that she wasn’t interested in engineering. Moreover, hostel life was new to her, and made her overwhelmed. 

She scored very poorly in Maths, in the December exams of first year. She got a Re-appear. In the next semester, she got sick for a month and scored very poorly in her mid semester exams. 

Her parents were being updated regularly through the university’s official app. They got angry at my friend for not doing well academically. But when they reached the hostel a few days later and had a talk with her, they realized she wasn’t happy with her choice of stream.

They took her home with them. She did not attend the second semester exams, and eventually, she told me that she had gotten admission into some other course at some other college. 

Currently she is happy with her decision to pursue fashion designing. Her story made me realize how important it is to make your choices with a calm mind, and not out of peer/family pressure.

I am a third year B.Tech CSE student at LPU. Thus I am experienced enough to answer your query-

• In the first year, you’ll have an MTE for every subject except the labs.
• From 2nd to 4th year, some subjects from your syllabus won’t have MTEs.
• MTE is an important part of your result. For a subject in MTE, you’ll be marked out of 40. This total will be further converted to 20 at a later stage.
• The MTE syllabus is the first 3 units of every subject. Look at your syllabus file, and make note of the first 3 units and their respective topics.
• Next, prepare topic-wise. If you pay attention in the lectures, half of your work is done. 
• Prepare from books, and not PPTs. PPTs are good for revision, but books will give you a clear understanding of a concept.

These are the things I have been following to prepare for MTEs at LPU. I hope these suggestions will be of help to you.

The mandatory requirement to clear LPUNEST is subject to which course you want to seek admission into. 

• For B.Tech, MBA, Agricultural courses- You need to clear the LPUNEST. 

But if you clear a national level exam that is recognised by LPU for admissions and you fulfill the university’s eligibility requirements, you can seek admission into these courses without clearing LPUNEST.

• For BBA, BA, BCom- For these programs, LPUNEST is not mandatory. 

But if you want to be eligible for scholarship, then you will have to clear the exam for these courses as well. 

This is the complete breakdown of the LPUNEST requirement (whether it is mandatory to clear this exam or not).

While most of the students choose LPU hostels for reasons like security, maintenance and ease of access, there are many PGs near the university that students can consider. 

• Law Gate is one of the most famous areas which is quite popular among LPU students. The area has many PGs and other attractions like food stalls, shops and more. 
• The other option for PGs is Phagwara. The distance is more than Law Gate but it houses some of the cosiest PGs in the area. The area offers a range of options catering to students needs. 
• The third place is Deepnagar which also has suitable PG accommodations at various price rates. Its only disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the campus so students have to adjust accordingly to be on time for classes.
