How does LPU align its curriculum with emerging job markets?

Students can get direct entry at Lovely Professional University, LPU, by merit in qualifying examinations like Class 12th board marks (minimum 60 percent aggregate with relevant subjects), national-level tests such as JEE Main, or other exams like CAT/MAT for specific programs, thereby avoiding LPUNEST in many cases. The process begins by applying online at admission.lpu.in and payment of a nominal fee to provisionally reserve the seat (adjusted against semester fees) and submitting documents for verification. Scholarships of up to 100% based on board scores or achievements in sports/cultural categories are available. For major programs like B.Tech, MBA, or Law, LPUNEST may apply unless one has a merit or previous score exemption. Admissions currently going on are for 2026.

LPU provides sophisticated hostel facilities spread across 17 multi-storeyed buildings with different arrangements for boys and girls from 1-6 seater standard rooms to that of a top-class AC apartment with attached washrooms, beds, study tables, almirahs, geysers, and balconies. This arrangement of the hostel provides facilities like 24X7 power backup, high-speed Wi-Fi, laundry, water purifiers, CCTV cameras, medical help on campus, gyms, tuck shops, and vegetarian mess with various meal plans (fees vary). With proper wardens and the presence of in-house mentors, the residences allow for a safe and lively community atmosphere that provides for over 25,000 students along with access to all sports complexes on campus.

For this, students have to fill up their application during online admission at website, and amounts will vary at phase enrollment-higher during Phase 1-from January-April-placed and post-document verification.
