    As an alumni of LPU, i would like to answer this question. Admissions in LPU are ongoing for all the programmes. Admission in any programme depends on qualifying the Eligibility criteria for that programme. So, first of all decide the programme that you want to join and check its Eligibility criteria for Admission.
