Vikas Raria's Review on Lovely Professional University- LPU Jalandhar

LPU has a strong alumni network across the world. The university claim to have 100% placement but it seems impossible to place such a large crowd. Many national and multinational companies come to the campus for internship and placement. cognizant is its biggest placement partner.

There are 8 hostels for boys and 6 hostels for girls. The hostel fee is RS 45000 p.a. and the food is provided with an extra charge of RS 30000 for two semesters or at 16000 for one sem. It would be good if you don't avail food as the food quality and taste is not at all good and even you have a lot of options others than the hostel mess. there are a lot of options available to live outside the campus which are comparatively cheaper than the hostel. The central library is well equipped with books and opens till 12 am. Labs are also well equipped

Anyone who has done 12th with at least 60% marks is eligible to get admission in Bachelor of Technology courses in LPU. They have to attempt LPUNEST. You have to clear LPUNEST to get admission in LPU. The scholarship is also provided on the basis of merit in LPUNEST, CBSE and IIT-MAINS score.

The timing of class is in between 8 am to 6 pm. On a day you have almost 7 classes each of an hour. Saturday and Sunday are off but you may have some activity or adjustment classes on these days. Exams are really a headache in LPU. The overall CGPA comprises of CAs, Mid Term, and End Term Exams. CAs are the class tests and each subject have at least 3 CAs which starts just a week or two after entering the university. They are really a big problem. Overall experience is not so good

My course fee for a semester is RS 64500 inclusive of scholarship. Apart from that, I have to pay INR 45000 for Hostel and INR 32000 for food yearly. If you avail laundry, then you have to pay INR 3250 for a year. Mainly there are four scholarship options. Those are LPUNEST, various state and CBSE boards percentage, IIT MAINS and if you have some international medal in sports or culture. Most of the students study here on scholarship. If you require loan then LPU have branches of 5 banks within the campus which provides easy loan facility

There are many students organization and clubs which you can join to improve your skills. Its main festivals are youth vibe and one world in which students from various different universities participate. Overall we can say that the college life is good and we get many things to learn
