Lovely Professional University (LPU) was created under the Punjab State Private University Act 2005. LPU is recognised by University Grants Commission (UGC), under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. As per Hon'ble Supreme Court ruling AICTE approval is not required for a university to run a course in technical education. -
LPU is a full fledged independent university approved by UGC. In addition to it, LPU is also affiliated with the Distance Education Council. In addition to it, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and the Council of Architecture (COA) and approved by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI).

Dear Happy, Yes LPU is UGC recognised and does not require 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.

V/S ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION & ORS, and various other cases
