At our last convocation, we were honoured to have none other than his holiness the Dalai Lama to not only receive an honorary doctorate, but to share his words of grace and wisdom. This is a very rare and unique opportunity for students to expand their understanding of the world, indeed of life itself. In all our convocations have been presided over by seven heads of state: It’s an opportunity available only at LPU.
#4 Not just teachers but mentors:
At LPU we have designed a special system that focuses on the student and his innate learning capacities through varied media. The centerpiece of the system is our faculty who are not only renowned for their individual research work, but are more like life guides and mentors, focused on helping students achieve their full potential. Thus a lot of our teaching is done in a manner that will ensure both retention and the ability to critically analyse and apply the knowledge gleaned. The faculty of LPU, updated with the latest methods of pedagogy (teaching) help turn students into a finished product with high market demand, yet with a social conscience and urge to contribute and give back.
#5 Research that pushes the boundaries of knowledge:
The original work a university does in research is a key measure of its quality. In this regard, the faculty of LPU are not just teachers but learners too, constantly pushing themselves to boldly explore uncharted paths. Hundreds of articles have been published from LPU in highly regarded scientific journals. Hundreds of patents have been filed and research grants won. Recently, LPU researchers won a huge research grant worth Rs.10.8 million through the Indo Canadian Impact project from DBT, GOI. Many inventions like an improved oral targeted drug delivery system or a square hole drilling machine have been or are being patented. In contrast to other universities the atmosphere at LPU is one of intellectual vigour, which is reflected in the performance of our students.

LPU is built on a scale far greater than any, being the largest single-campus university in India. The sprawling 600 acre LPU campus is connected fully by WiFi. It is loaded with labs, fully spec’d and equipped even including one just to create Apps in. 5000 computer terminals give students the time needed on a workstation for their deep academic pursuits. A nine storey Library and Resource Centre serves the needs of all from fresher student to seasoned research scientist. Besides the robust technology backbone the campus is a township by itself, accommodating twenty thousand students residentially, with malls, banks, atms, a hospital, pharmacy, gyms and everything else needed to be comfortable, secure while focused on the pursuit of knowledge.
#10 Practical experience that prepares students for the real world:
Some auto engineering students of LPU sat on a computer and designed some concept cars. And then what happened is worthy of note. They actually built them, test drove them and exhibited them at the auto expo catching the eye of the national press. At LPU whether its live projects, internship with industry or Industry Certified components in our programmes, there is a wealth of hands-on experience for various streams and disciplines that create confident professionals ready to be productive from the first day at the job. This is a key difference between LPU and ordinary institutions.
