I am a B.Tech CSE student at LPU. I joined the university in 2022, and since then, have been living in the university hostel.

At LPU, there are 17 multi-story hostels (including the luxury apartments). Each hostel has its separate entrance and exit, a mess, a tuck shop, wardens and maintenance staff. The LPU campus has all the amenities within itself, so hostellers need not step outside the campus for anything. 

Here are the facilities offered in the LPU hostel rooms, on the basis of the two categories into which they are divided-

• Standard Rooms- These rooms have a lodge-like arrangement with students sharing 4/3/2 seater rooms, or living in a single seater room. The rooms have an attached washroom facility. There is an option of an AC/Cooler installation in the rooms. These rooms contain- an Iron Bed, Plastic Chair, Study Table and Almirah for each student. They have a Geyser and AC/Air Cooler (As Opted).
• Apartments- The apartments are 1/2/3/4 seater rooms with attached washroom facility. These are luxurious accommodations. These rooms contain a common kitchen area, and dining and lobby area. The rooms have a Wooden Box Bed, Plastic Chair, StudyTable, and Almirah for each student. These rooms have AC and Geyser facilities.

These are the facilities available at LPU hostels. LPU has a good hostel infrastructure and everything is well-maintained.

No, Christ's hostel does not have any food options. The hostel fees only include accommodation and no food. However, there are seven canteens on the campus. So, you will have enough options to buy it from there. You need to pay the canteen for food or prepare food by yourself. The quality and hygiene of food is maintained. The hostel maintains strict decorum. No food is allowed inside the hostels and there is a strict dress code that you will have to keep in mind. There is a biometrics system installed at the hostel. You must sign out once in the morning and sign in the evening before 8:30 PM. The registration process for the hostel is smooth and easy to understand. The seats are limited so first-cum-first-serve basis is followed.

The hostel facility is available for all students at Christ University and is located within our college premises. The college hostel is well maintained and has strict schedules. Biometric punching systems are installed, so you need to be very thorough about the timings. The sign out needs to be done before 8:30 AM and signed in at 9:30 PM. If you fail to maintain this, then you will be fined. If you are a girl, your hostel room will be either double or triple-sharing. And if you are a boy, your hostel room has three and four occupancy. There is a common washroom which is well-maintained. Hot water and elevator facilities are available. The hostel fees do not include food services. 7 canteens on the campus have diverse food options. You need to keep in mind that the registration process is online. During your admission, a South Indian Bank account will be made through which the hostel fees will be paid. If you want to stay independently, there are even hostels and PGs that are situated in the locality.

LPU provides hostel facilities to the students. Every year a huge number of students opt for hostel facilities. There are different hostel options in LPU. However, it all depends on the vacancy and availability of the rooms. The 4 seater hostel rooms are good. You will be able to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle while living in this hostel. The room comes with a chair, a table, and a bed. There is an AC facility as well as a cooler and you can choose the one according to your preference. There is a hot water facility for which you will be provided a geyser. The room has an attached bathroom in western style. If you want an AC hostel, I would recommend AC BH1,6. And, if you opt for a cooler hostel I would recommend hostels BH2,3,5. Hostel life at LPU is fun and you will be happier if you get wonderful hostel mates.

LPU hostel facilities are designed to provide students with a comfortable living environment. The university has 17 multi-story hostel buildings. Each hostel has its own dedicated warden and maintenance staff. Some of the top facilities that are provided to students in the LPU hostel include furnished rooms, laundry services, internet connectivity, water purifier, ambulance service, CCTV support and more. There are also many tuck shops and eating joints within the hostel premises for students at walking distance. The university also provides in-house mentor support for after-hours guidance. 

Apart from the facilities, students have to adhere to the LPU hostel norms and regulations for their security and safety. Students have to follow the hostel timings otherwise a call can be given to the student’s parents if they fail to show up on time. Application is required for night outs and attendance takes place in the evenings when students are required to be present in their rooms.

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. 

For fee structure without any scholarships, the total cost of B.Tech at LPU is INR 11.20 Lakhs. Other than the tuition fee, the students also have to pay around INR 44,000 as hostel fees. The hostel fee is calculated based on the first year/semester. If all the amount is calculated, students have to pay around a total of INR 15.60 lakhs to pursue BTech at LPU including hostel charges.

The total fee for BTech depends on the student's performance in the LPUNEST exam. The university offers heavy discounts to students with good scores that bring down the total cost by large numbers. Students with exceptional records can expect their entire tuition fee covered by the university. LPU has allocated over INR 100 crores of amount to students as scholarships.

Yes, LPU enforces curfew times to ensure student safety and well-being. Here's a breakdown:

It's important to note that these timings are subject to change.
