Dear Rohan, Being a alumni of Lovely Professional University,I would say,LPU has been the university that has outperformed most of its competition. Be it academics, sports or cultural activities, the university boasts a number of accolades to prove its credibility. This is one of the reasons that contribute to making it one of the fastest-growing universities in India. Students here are groomed to be better-skilled individuals than merely engineering students (or any subject student for that matter). I am sharing few points which will help you to take decision- Lovely Professional University School of Hotel Management and Tourism is among Indias best Hotel Management and Tourism colleges that grooms students through industry endorsed curriculum and intensive service oriented practicals with industry exposure in excellent infrastructure. Students are surrounded by peers from 70+ countries giving them an international edge.

In case you do not have interest in cooking, that should not stop you from pursuing your dream in hotel management their are many options such as: -Front Office -F&B services -Housekeeping -Marketing -Public relations etc. I can tell you one fact of one of the best schools of hospitality and catering technology in India that they have India's other words first vegetarian Domino's restaurant on their campus. It's LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY, JALANDHAR, PUNJAB. They offer versatility in their courses of hospitality and catering technology. Multi storey word class kitchen infrastructure and lavishing hotel inside the campus for the daily practice of there students. Totally vegetarian restaurant where students practice to cook only a vegetarian cuisine. At LPU these courses are meant for students who are looking for specialised hospitality degree with global recognition that can lead to the leadership. Although, this year LPU has relaxed their eligibility where they have exempted the candidates from LPU NEST exam. Those who are willing to take admission in the university, can take a direct admission now without qualifying entrance exam conducted by the University still a candidate must have at least 50% aggregate marks in the 12th class and English must be studied as a subject. Best thing of the LPU is that they very good Industry Tie-ups which results in usual guest lectures by an Industry Experts. Students work on various Projects in collaboration with Industry. LPU provides an internships to engage deeply in hands on real-life situations. If you are studying at LPU placements are not at all a problem because they says that "we provide 100% placements to all the eligible candidates or placements aspiring candidates. Online Admissions are already open, one can search their website. Hope this will help you.
