    At LPU, taking up a sport isn't exactly mandatory, but honestly, it's highly encouraged—and for good reason! The campus is full of world-class sports facilities and gives you a chance to stay fit, make friends, and even explore hidden talents. Whether you're into cricket, dance, gymming, or even chess—there's something for everyone. Plus, being active outside class really helps with stress and makes college life more fun and balanced. So, it's not a rule, but a really cool opportunity you wouldn't wanna miss!

    Good afternoon,

    At LPU, participating in sports is not mandatory for academic programs. However, the university strongly encourages students to engage in sports and extracurricular activities to promote holistic development.

     Students can join various sports teams or fitness programs based on their interests, and LPU offers excellent sports infrastructure and facilities to support this. While not compulsory, these activities are seen as beneficial for building teamwork, leadership, and physical fitness.

    No, it is not necessary to take any sports in college at LPU. Sports are optional, not compulsory. But LPU gives many chances in sports for those who are interested. The university has big sports grounds, indoor stadiums, and expert coaches. If any student is good in sports, they can also get scholarships and represent LPU in national and international levels. LPU always supports students who want to do something in sports along with studies. But if someone is not interested in sports, that is totally okay. There is no pressure. Students can join other clubs, events, or activities based on their interest. LPU believes in giving freedom
