Dear Aakash
Private university and is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC), a statutory body of the Government of India. Further AICTE approval is not required for a university to run a course in technical education as has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its judgment CWP2056 of 1999 titled BHARATHIDASAN UNIVERSITY & ANR. V/S ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION & ORS, and various other cases. So all the courses of LPU have full validity for government and other jobs. -

Hi Aakash,
1. AICTE is not the body to regulate or recognize UNIVERSITIES. It recognizes the colleges which seek the affiliation from any university for technical courses.
2. LPU is a private university established u/s 2F of UGC.
3. LPU is recognised by UGC and is member of AIU.
4. There are thousands of students who has graduated from LPU in last one and a half decade who are working in private and government sectors in India and abroad.

University seeks UGC recognition and if it is recognised AICTE is not mandatory. You are ofcourse eligible for government jobs. -
Dear Aakash, It won't affect but your university should be UGC recognised. For instance, LPU Punjab is not approved by AICTE but recognised by UGC and provides a valid degree.

Hello! Being an alumni of LPU, I would like to bring into your notice that LPU does not require an AICTE approval since it is already approved by UGC, a statutory body of the Government of India. This is because universities do not require AICTE approval compulsorily. AICTE approval is not required for a university to run a course in technical education as it has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its judgment CWP2056 of 1999 titled BHARATHIDASAN UNIVERSITY & ANR.

Practical learning, coding culture, real-world projects, and industry experience are all major components of the course.

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

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
