    The BCA+MCA degree has seen more successful entrepreneur alumni rather than the ones who are placed in placement drives. Though the course curriculum can be directly compared to one of the esteemed educational institutions, but the question paper may seem easy. But it is not. LPU exams are way easy to pass but extremely difficult to get distinction as the marking schemes become much precise about your grades and overall performance when you head one step above in the CGPA. Being an BCA aspirant, isolate yourself to the very specific part of computer application than engineers who are supposed to know everything about every course, at l

    The dual degree (BCA-MCA) is designed for learners with an intent to construct strong basic conceptions and then hone their understanding in a specific domain and implementation through industry internship. Further, LPU is a university which have industrial tie-ups with Oracle and SAP. Studying these courses as a part of the curriculum would provide a wildcard entry to the industry. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible students to secure good placement.

    It is a good option for the students who are determined to achieve higher level of education. Normally BCA is a 3 Year programme and the same applies to MCA as well. However, students opting for BCA-MCA pursue MCA and save one valuable year as the tenure for the programme is 5 Years.* The intent of the programme is to construct strong basic conceptions and then hone their understanding in a specific domain and implementation of the same. The programme is strengthened with well-planned industry- centric curricula and pedagogy, Dedicated Labs, Emphasis on learning through real time problem solving and In house exposure through industry c

Hey, so for LPU's end-term exam in Physical Education, you need at least 30% marks in the end-term itself, plus an overall 40% combining continuous assessment and end-term. That's the standard across their PE programs, and they've got a cool holistic review if you hit the aggregate but miss the end-term bit—super fair way to keep things student-friendly. Attendance stays key at 75% min, which makes sense for staying active in sports stuff. LPU really nails this balance, helping folks like us push through without harsh cutoffs, way better for building real fitness skills. No wonder it's a top pick—keeps motivation high and stress lo

The Physical Efficiency Test (LPUPET) of LPU for the 2025 admissions into PE/sports programs was conducted in several schedules, with the latest being on August 26, 2025 (Schedule VI).

Hey guys, so I checked the official LPU site for the BPEd course fee, and for the first year, it's around INR1 Lacs to INR1.09 lakhs, covering tuition at INR50,000 per semester plus exam fees of about INR4,500-INR5,000 each. That's super reasonable for a top-notch programme with awesome sports facilities and scholarships up to 60% if you score well in LPUNEST—like INR96,000 off per semester for high performers. LPU really makes it accessible without compromising quality, way better value than many places I've seen. Total for two years is INR2-2.18 lakhs, but first-year payment is straightforward via UPI or whatever. If you're into ph

Hey, so from what I've checked on LPU's official site, the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) for sports programs like B.P.Ed is totally offline. It's this practical fitness check with stuff like a 50m sprint, standing broad jump, medicine ball throw (3kg for guys, 2kg for girls), and a 1000m run/walk—all done on campus with invigilators watching to keep it fair.
​No online version here since it's hands-on physical activities, and you gotta bring your own sports kit or they won't let you in. LPU runs it in multiple schedules based on registrations, super flexible for everyone. Honestly, it's cool how they make it real-world ready witho

Hey, so the LPU Physical Efficiency Test (PET) isn't some super long drag—it's more like a quick fitness check that usually wraps up in 20 to 45 minutes, depending on how fit you are. You've got to nail a 50m sprint, standing broad jump, overhead medicine ball throw (3kg for guys, 2kg for gals), and a 1000m run/walk, all in one go with up to two tries. No fixed "hours" timer since it's practical stuff, not a marathon sit-down exam.LPU keeps it real and fair, testing real stamina for sports courses like B.P.Ed—super helpful to see if you're ready without wasting your day. Bring your own kit or you're out, but slots are flexible
