The per semester fee for different MTech specialisations at LPU is INR 1.20 lakhs with the total fees being INR 4.8 lakhs. Students can also avail of scholarships up to 48% by scoring more or equal to Category III, II and I in the LPUNEST exam.
I would recommend you to frequently check LPU’s official website for dates regarding MTech admission. The university generally releases MTech admission dates around the start of the academic year. The exact dates can vary slightly for different MTech specialisations. Admission to MTech courses is done in two phases between April and May. The university often provides several days for candidates to complete their MTech admission process.
This year, the online registration for MTech admission started on May 1, 2024. Candidates can appear in the LPUNEST exam between May 6 to May 28, 2024, with the last date of application being May 31, 2024. Candidates can apply for the exam up to 3 days before the exam date.
Applying for MTech courses at LPU is pretty straightforward. My friend completed his MTech in Biotechnology from LPU and according to him, the admission process is very easy and hassle-free.

I am a former student at LPU. The university offers both merit-based and entrance-based admissions to its courses.
For MBA, the university considered the scores of various management entrance exams to shortlist the eligible candidates. CAT/ MAT/ XAT/ CMAT/ NMAT are the most popular entrance exams accepted at LPU. Apart from these, the university considers LPUNEST score for admission into MBA.
LPUNEST is the university level entrance exam conducted by LPU every year for selection into its various courses. Apart from the entrance scores, for certain MBA specializations the candidates may be required to have prior work experience in the same field. For example, if a candidate wishes to opt for MBA HRM/MBA Finance at LPU, they may be required to have min. 2 years of work experience in the same field.
LPU offers BBA in General, Tourism and Hospitality, Financial Markets, Business Analytics, International Finance, Airlines and Airport Management, and Information Technology. It also offers BBA (Hons.), Integrated BBA-MBA, and BBA (2+2 International Credit Transfer Option).
The PhD specializations offered by LPU are:
