LPU holds a solid spot in the global rankings, landing in the 501-600 band in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026. That's pretty impressive, especially since it's climbed fast from lower bands in recent years, hitting top 5 in India and even cracking the world's top 200 for research quality at rank 157. As a student checking this out, it feels like LPU's pushing hard with innovation and research, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with big names without knocking anyone down—everyone's got their strengths. In QS Sustainability Rankings 2026, it's 544th worldwide and top 14 in India, plus 109th globally in WURI Innovat

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
