Yes, Lateral Entry is available for the BBA course at Lovely Professional University (LPU). LPU allows lateral entry into the second year of the BBA programme for candidates who have completed a diploma in a relevant field or have equivalent qualifications. This provides an opportunity for students who have already pursued a Diploma or similar course to complete their BBA in a shorter time frame, typically in 3 years instead of the usual 4 years.
To be eligible for lateral entry into the BBA programme at LPU, candidates must meet certain criteria, including a relevant academic background, such as having completed a 3-year diploma (with a minimum specified percentage) from a recognised institution or university.
The admission process typically involves submission of your academic transcripts, relevant documents, and meeting the specific criteria set by the university. LPU also conducts an entrance exam, LPU-NEST, to assess candidates, although this may not be mandatory for those applying for lateral entry if they meet other criteria.
This lateral entry option is ideal for students who wish to pursue a BBA but have already completed diploma-level studies in fields such as business management, commerce, or related disciplines.
