LPU is best for pursuing law with an affordable and value-for-money fee structure. The LLB program at LPU generally costs around 70,000 to 90,000 rupees per semester, depending on the scholarship you receive through LPUNEST or based on previous academic scores. The total fee for the entire three-year program usually comes to approximately 4 to 5 lakh rupees. Additional charges like hostel, mess, and exam fees are separate. LPU also provides flexible payment options to support students.
