Can I request to be given same hostel room as my friend when applying online for LPU?

If you and friends want hostel at the same time then you can apply at the same time then only it is possible otherwise you have to apply earlier and contact with the staff so that they can help you in this matter because, at the time of admission, rooms are allocated randomly, but still, you can request the hostel department if anything is possible because due to a large number of admissions, there can be an issue with the desired hostel availability but if possible the hostel department will let you know. Incase you are an existing student then in that case when hostel booking opens, (March/April) you can choose the same hostel room for you and your friends. You must know your friend's UMS ID and Password for booking the same hostel room for next year.

As per my knowledge, Roommates for freshers are allotted randomly based on first come first serve basis. Still you want to book with your friend, I would say you a drop a email to residential department or admissions department. After completion of your first year rooms will be available for you to choose. But there are many students to take the rooms at same time. To reduce this LPU conducts two rounds to choose rooms. First round for all honours and CGPA above 8 students and second round for all other students. You can select room of your choice and take with your friends too. At the end of the first academic session, we are asked to participate in the hostel polling (for changing room) if anyone is interested. Many of the students come up for the hostel polling as they need to change their rooms for various different reasons. An announcement is made in the UMS about the dates of the polling. We can book our preferred hostel room and after the polling is completed we are allotted the assigned rooms.

Being a hosteler, I would say, Roommates are not friends not family but they're more than that and do create a different category in our heart. I can feel the excitement in people who are looking forward to starting their hostel life in Lovely Professional University.

Well, it is quite easy and difficult at the same time there two option though which you can do that. Mutual Shifting Ask your roommate/your friends' roommate to exchange his seat with yours/your friends. Go To the warden office and submit a mutual shifting form available in UMS. Once, he approves it, you both can get the same hostel room. 2. Hostel Booking when hostel booking opens, (March/April) you can choose the same hostel room for you and your friends depending on your CGPA (8.0 and above can book a room first, followed by 7.0 and below). You must know your friend's UMS ID and Password for booking the same hostel room for next year. It will be applicable to next year. If you are fresher you and your friend need to book the hostel at the same time when you are booking for the hostel then only you can get the same room. Hope this helps Thank You.

Many of you might be very curious about the look and interior of the hostel. I stayed in LPU during my Post graduation years and honestly those were the best days of my life. I made some amazing friends and had some amazing experiences. Roommates for freshers are allotted randomly based on first come first serve basis.

The student from start got new companions, and he/she adjusted with them, he/she might also learn something from them. And every year he learn something new as the roommates get changed. He/she now knows how to adjust between different peoples.

Lovely Professional University is really good University. Right from the teachers to placements, everything amazing and taken care of. I really feel as alumni of LPU, that it is one of the best institution and really works hard to better its students in every way possible.

Yes, you can. For this, you'll have to mail the concerned department.
