Genuine review of LPU

The fees structure for regular students was 180000, but if you received scholarship via LPUNEST it depends upon the marks you score and ranking. I got 50% scholarship which is regarded as the highest scholarship where I had to pay only 90000 per year. My batchmates paid accordingly to their score in LPUNEST

Truth’s to be told

Student Snaps:

The regular fees for Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering is of 240000 yearly, 120000 a semester. And there's a provision of LPUNEST with which the scholarship is decided like of, 20% 30% and 50% 20% giving you 840000, 30% giving 740000 and 50% giving you 60000. Also financial aids are also given to students like the student loan, to those who are not capable of paying the fee.

Dislikes

Outdated labs and technical staff. Needs improvement in many educational aspects.
Poorly formulated education curriculum and outdated syllabus.

Fees for the course was justified. There was also sufficient scholarship provided for deserving students. Although campus employment opportunities were lagging behind. The tuition fee hike did not take place while I was studying.

The course curriculum was top notched. The faculty members were pretty good.

The course fees can be adjusted for students coming from humble backgrounds.

The semester fees back in my days were 69,000 per semester. However, if you are getting into through your JEE ranks and all, you get a hefty scholarship. Apart from that, if you have good grades in boards, you also get scholarship based on that.

It was above 50,00/- per semester for Engineering courses. LPU NEST was the scholarship opportunity. The fee hike policy contains Master's degree courses and PHD. Placement was overall good and available.
