    LPU realizes that paradigm changes are happening around the world. Rapidly changing business landscape requires young leaders to not only understand developing economies but also develop a global perspective at the same time in order to be an integral part of the growth of the economy
    For the smooth conduct of the courses LPU holds entrance exams only for a few selected courses like BTech, MSc Agri, Phd etc.
    Rest of the courses van also give LPUNest to enhance their scholarship scale.

    In the situation of Covid-19, LPU has relaxed their eligibility norms. Therefore the entrance exam is not a mandate for all the programmes.
    For B.A. (Journalism & Mass Communication) the eligibility criteria is Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English) or equivalent.
    LPU School of Journalism and Film Production organized a national conference on Contemporary Perspectives in Design and Creative Arts' (CPDCA 2018) to have a holistic understanding of issues relating to space, forms, frugality, sustainability and functionality in design and creative arts.

    In order to get any admission in LPU you need to qualify the eligibility criteria which will depend on the domain that you are seeking admission. Along with that you also need to appear for LPUNEST exam which will again depend on the course that you are seeking admission. LPUNEST will also be helpful for scholarship in admission and would depend on the cut off scores.
    LPU has widened the horizon of the scholarship in order to provide and extend support to the deserving candidates.
    Scholarships are awarded to candidates based on their performance on any of the following categories:
