Lovely Professional University: Comprehensive and Integrated Development of Individuals Date:   Wednesday , January 25, 2017 It is said that the road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination. A significant portion of learning and development comes from the life at campus and interaction with fellow students. The essence of any institute\'s teaching has been to develop the student\'s mind and to bring it to a level where understanding the fundamentals of different things is essential; fundamentals not just of academics, but also of various aspects of life that one seems to be falling behind in this tech-savvy world. Striking a perfect balance between education and within classroom and outside is Lovely Professional University (LPU). The institute has built a culture which is an eclectic mix of academic and extracurricular pursuits. It encompasses in its ambit a wide range of activities related to various disciplines. Besides, it offers a unique opportunity to interact with other students and experience the rich and diverse culture of India. Proving its mettle in academia, industry and R&D sectors, Lovely Professional University today has emerged as one of the top higher education destinations in India. The institute upholds its primary focus on teaching and ensures practical exposure to students and this way encourages them to learn beyond the classroom and also work on live projects. Not only this, the university boasts about their placement which has helped place numerous students with big corporates of the world including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and many more. Moreover, 500+ international and national companies have selected LPU students in large number including Cognizant selecting its 600+ students, in a single go, twice. Life at LPU To complement an exacting academic training, LPU encourages and offers plethora of opportunities for students for their all- round personality development. The institute exemplifies a combination of student\'s interests and passions in one experience, and moving ahead with what they want to do with their career. \"Our campus is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. Classrooms are well-planned and spacious to facilitate long hours of teaching and interaction. We have nine storey academic resources building with dedicated four storey of library adequate to cater the students need. With this and many other modern day facilities, we strive to instill every ingredient in the students, to be at par with a world class human resource. Every moment spent in the campus is a learning experience for the students from the case study analysis, quizzes, class participation, and evening presentations. Timings are no constraint\", Ashok Mittal, Chancellor LPU speaks LPU has the largest strength of students on its high tech campus, the whole of which is Wi-Fi enabled. “In addition, on the security implemented agenda, we can see LPU as one of the safest and secure campus in the country with deployment of 3500+ surveillance cameras. The entry to the campus and hostels is possible only through Smart Cards\", informs Mittal. The non-academic life on campus is as enriching and enlightening as the academic experience in LPU can be. Living far away from home, for the first time in most cases, youngsters find new, extended families in their wings, hostels, departments and classes. Carving a Niche In recent times, LPU has tied up with top corporates to open \'Center of Excellence\' within the campus boundaries. LPU has already been working with Google, SAP, CISCO, EMC2 and many other such strong global innovative companies. Furthermore, the institute has carved a niche for itself in providing international exposure to its students. As per the information available, students of LPU can go to 200 universities of the world for student exchanges and similar opportunities. The clout of LPU can also be judged from the fact that six world leaders including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama; President of Afghanistan Dr Hamid Karzai; President of Mauritius; Prime Minister of Lesotho Kingdom; Prime Minister of Dominican Republic; and President of the Republic of Mauritius have accepted the doctorate degrees of LPU. On these lines, 30,000+ full-time students from all parts of India have joined LPU, where South India is making 20 percent of the total student populace at LPU.
