Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) has a faculty of PhD holders, with a faculty-to-student ratio of about 50:1 in science and 80:1 in arts. While the geology department is praised, other departments are lacking, and teaching skills and career counseling are below average. The examination includes mid-term assessments and annual exams, with some faculty promoting practical skills and internships. Issues such as favoritism in sports and unequal student treatment have been reported, along with protests in the arts department.

As of September 2021, detailed information on companies offering stipended internships is unavailable; opportunities vary by field, with industries such as IT, finance, and healthcare involved. Scholarships are available, notably for SC/ST students with reduced fees of around 1800 rupees, and general tuition fees are low, with some courses costing 7000 rupees annually. Specific fees include 2600 rupees for tuition, 2500 rupees for registration, and 700 rupees for exams. Arts and BSc programs have annual admission and exam fees of 2500 and 3000 rupees.

Despite low costs, teaching quality is generally high, with a focus on practical exams, although facilities may reflect the university's budget constraints.

Positive thoughts positive mind

The fees is less for girls but there is no too much fees paid by us . We pay around 7000 per year for this course but it is value for money because their teaching level is very high with useful practical based examinations
