    Dear Aspirant, Whatever will be a fee of the hostel while taking admission at LPU, that will be the same throughout the programme. For example, if you are paying 50,000 rupees in your first year for a hostel in the B.Tech programme, then the fee will be the same for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. Hope this helps
    Good Luck!

    The hostels of LPU usually hike their fees every year for students. Typically, this increase is from INR 2,000 to INR 3,000 annually. Increment is necessary for accounting inflation, improvement in facilities, and maintenance costs, but the university tries hard to keep the hike within reasonable limits to provide comfortable services for hostellers. In older policies, students who continued in the same room type for the entire course may incur a fixed fee. This upgrade must be checked through precise details with official university sources for the latest information.

    At Lovely Professional University (LPU), it's common for hostel fees to go up every year, generally about INR2000-INR3000. This small rise is due to the university's need to account for inflation, enhance amenities and buildings, and manage increased operational expenses. It is never enormous, so students are not deterred from having nice rooms and living spaces with great amenities. LPU has rooms that have different characteristics and capacities (i.e., shared and single rooms; AC and non-AC), and fees naturally deflect these differences. The university is open about costs, and finds a happy medium between affordability and a decent s

    Dear reader,

    LPU provides various accomodation facilities for their students and at a very reasonable price.

    Indeed, yearly increases in LPU's hostel prices are possible because of things like inflation and operating expenses.  Although the precise increase varies, it is often a little sum used to upgrade and maintain facilities.  Residential fees are for the current academic session and may vary for subsequent sessions, according to the university's official policy.

    For more infromation kindly contact their concerned website.

    I hope this information helps.

    At Lovely Professional University (LPU), once you choose a particular hostel room type—like non-AC or AC, single-seater, multi-seater, or apartment style—the hostel fee you pay in your first year generally remains the same for the duration of your program, unless you decide to upgrade to a different room or have special circumstances. This consistent fee structure provides financial predictability for students throughout their stay.

    Hello there,

    No worries! So about the hostel fee at LPU—once you take admission and lock in your hostel type (like standard, apartment, or AC/non-AC rooms), the fee you pay in your first year generally stays the same throughout your course. LPU usually doesn't raise hostel fees every year for students who continue with the same room category. It's one of the things students actually appreciate because it gives you financial stability—you know what to expect and plan your budget accordingly.

    However, if you decide to upgrade your room (like switching from a dorm to an apartment or opting for air-conditioning later), then of course th

    Hi there, no it does not work like that. The fee that you pay at the beginning of the course, you pay the same amount in your last semester as well. It is some sort of fallacy that the fee increases every year. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
