LPU: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 76 Reviews

Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers a streamlined admission process via online applications, city admission offices, or campus visits, requiring documents like 10th and 12th certificates and Aadhar cards. Some courses need the LPUNEST exam, which also grants scholarships. For MCA, 60% minimum marks are required, with admissions closing by April 31. LPU's faculty, over 3,500 strong, includes Ph.D. holders from esteemed institutions, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 1:30. The curriculum blends theory and practice, though some students desire more practical focus.

Classes have about 80 students for theory and 40 for practicals. Scholarships depend on academic performance, with special benefits for female students; however, financial aid is limited, and some face loan issues. Fees vary, with the MCA program costing Rs. 78,000 per semester, reducible to Rs. 39,000 with scholarships. Hostel and mess fees are Rs. 72,000 and Rs. 32,000 annually. LPU excels in placements, with 550 companies like Microsoft and Google visiting yearly, securing a 90% placement rate.

The highest package can reach Rs. 3 crore, while the average is Rs. 4.5-8 lakh per annum. Students gain from training sessions and internships, with stipends of Rs. 25,000-Rs. 35,000. Scholarships from LPUNEST can cut tuition fees by up to 70%, with further reductions for outstanding academic, sports, or cultural achievements. To retain scholarships, students need specific CGPAs: 8.0 in the first year, 8.5 in the second, and 9.0 in the third. LPU’s Entrepreneur Cell supports startups, and the university is acknowledged for its placement success by Aspiring Minds and others.

Various banks offer campus loan facilities, with no fee hikes post-enrollment.
