LPU may feel bit expensive for middle-class students at first because of tuition, hostel, and other living expenses. However, scholarships through LPUNEST and merit can significantly reduce the tuition fee, which makes a real difference in overall affordability. Hostel and mess charges are separate and completely depend on your choice and lifestyle. Overall, it can be manageable with scholarships and proper planning. Students also benefit from diverse campus environment, exposure and multiple opportunities for academic and personal growth.
