resources and access to study material from home enables us to give our students all that the world expects of them today. At LPU we believe, what is required to prepare students for the real world doesn’t come neatly packaged in a textbook. Its experimental and intuitive, it is light years away from a lecture. Its something we call the “Lovely Experience” with an emphasis on experiential learning. Through this experience, we bring you together with exceptional classmates from different parts of the world – your peers, who create the much needed rich cultural and thought diversity, and also know how to challenge, debate and have a good time. LPU envisages to produce a knowledge based society. We think that this can be reached about only through quality planning, expertise, training and student involvement. Our academic system demands a lot from the students, but also gives them room to develop their own

insights and talents. We provide a wide range of professional programmes that are relevant and in depth, programmes with professional accreditation that give you the skills and knowledge to substantially increase your career prospects. We do it by providing a stimulating environment in which to study and learn – fantastic links with industry, world – renowned research teams, reputed tutors and experts in their field- a place well versed in, and up to date with, what’s happening in the real world. Whatever your career plans, at LPU you are likely to find a programme that will help you to realize your master plan.

“So far as I am able to judge , nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extra ordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.” Mark Twain

Few countries in the world have such an ancient and diverse culture as India. Stretching back in an unbroken sweep over 5000 years, India's culture has been enriched by successive waves of migration which were absorbed into the Indian way of life. It is this variety which is a special hallmark of India. Its physical, religious and racial variety is as immense as its linguistic diversity. India has a rich tradition of learning and education right from the antiquity. Varanasi, Taxila , Kanchi ,Nalanda and Ujjain were the Centres of learning for the people from all corners of the world.

Punjab:Best state in India as

per ' India Today, 24th Sept , 2007

Entreprise and endeavour, these two words symbolize the essential spirit of the people of Punjab. Privileged by nature and the dynamism of its people, Punjab is a land of rivers, fertile soils and steady achievement. Punjab derives its name from the fact that it is home to five major rivers namely Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Jhelum, Chenab. With its inimitable style, Punjab has been transforming every potential opportunity into a success story. Punjab is referred to as “The Golden state of India” owing to its high performance in all arenas. Its

average growth rate of 10% is amongst the highest in the country, clearly reflecting the progressive economy of the state . Punjab also boasts of the highest per capita income in India and also ranks seventh in terms of education amongst the states. With growing pace of industrialization in Punjab, the main stress has been on expansion, modernization and reorientation of Professional and Technical Education and industrial training system for ensuring quality manpower availability to the industrial sector of the country and also beyond the Indian shores.

tutorials are more academically challenging and rigorous than standard lecture and tests because during each session students are expected to communicate defend analysis and critique their ideas in conversation with teacher and fellow students. As a pedagogic model the tutorial system has great value because it creates learning and assessment opportunities which are highly authentic and difficult to fake.

How we Teach We have a variety of teaching methods combining the lecture with seminar teaching, tutorials, case based teaching, group discussions, video and slide shows, problem solving demonstrations, role plays, closing quizzes, team based group projects and laboratory-based practicals. The university is proud of its small group teaching methods which help in developing analytical, application, presentation, and communication skills. All of these skills are highly valued by employers. Our relentless pursuit in teaching excellence has become a way of life for us.

Time in LPU was a transitional period of my life. LPU provided me with everything that is required for the overall growth of any student. The University provides one with the highest standards of education in a vast variety of disciplines, hi-tech infrastructure and brilliant faculty. Rather, I feel that the faculty of the University is the real force in marking the success of its students in their respective fields. I will always remain thankful to my alma mater for moulding my academic life and making me think big in life. Manavdeep Singh Randhawa Professional Achievements : FIMC award in Wipro Technologies

“You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.” The LPU learning environment makes the students so comfortable that they not only learn more, but are more - W. Somerset Maugham

comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do their best on tests. When one has this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning .

LPU COMMUNITY

Senior - Junior Relationship A good senior- junior relationship is required for a healthy educational environment and a progressive society. We try our best to help the seniors and juniors to connect with each other by bringing them together for freshers parties and other such events. A mentoring relationship can be very important because of its potential to inculcate habits of responsible conduct . The senior junior relationship at LPU is a functional one. Free and friendly interaction is encouraged so that the new joinees feel at home and are comfortable in their new environment.

Teacher – Student Relationship The student-teacher relationship is the basis of any effective academic environment. We believe that love and understanding in this relationship is as important a factor as objectivity. A dedicated and sincere teacher is an absolute necessity for any educational institution, but the institution cannot grow and mature without a cadre of equally dedicated and sincere students. We think that both instructor and student owe a debt of responsibility to each other, that can never be paid back. It is for this reason alone that we give special orientation lectures to our teachers from time to time. We know that a healthy student- teacher relationship makes the time a student spends in the classroom more pleasant.
