MESSAGE FROM THE
MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR
Choosing which university to go to
and what course to pursue is one
of the most important decisions
you, as a student would ever make
in your life. As you make this
crucial decision, I encourage you to
think wisely about where your
interests lie, weigh your aptitude

socially useful track. With this
direction soundly steered to, we

daunting task of 'Transforming
Education, Transforming India'.

Our Programmes are specially
designed to include work based
activity wherever possible. Our
emphasis on Web based learning
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

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
ASHOKMITTAL
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

Whatever your career plans, at LPU
you are likely to find a programme
that will help you to realize your
master plan. Now as you stand at the
threshold of a university education, I
urge you to discover LPU for yourself
through a visit to our campus or

professional education and has already made a significant impact on
the academic milieu of our country. It offers a large bouquet of
thoughtfully designed programmes that permit a wide variety of
entry and exit points to suit the aspirations of the youth. The
university recognizes the fact that there are wide variations in the
ambitions, preparation and capabilities of its students and that these
cannot be served by the rigid course- structures of most of the
universities. With our no-walls approach towards education we are all
set to create history by becoming India's first home grown global
university. LPU strives to provide sufficient flexibility in its
programmes to accommodate the diverse needs of the students
through the provision of different pathways and various electives. The
University is dedicated to the thought that students have a right to
quality education, and is committed to provide the same. Its
academic processes are at par with the best in the world. The design
of the teaching programmes is benchmarked against the best
worldwide. The teaching of courses and the conduct of laboratories
use the state-of-the-art pedagogy. The examination system is fully
transparent.
The university’s mission of excellence in teaching, learning and
research is fully embodied in its students.
At the heart of any great institution are the people whose vision and
talent define it. To maintain our prominence and to achieve our goal
of promoting meaningful educational reform we require that we
recruit and retain highly respected, dedicated teachers who are also
committed towards working on practical problems related to
education that is why we make every attempt to hire the best
teachers for our budding professionals.
The university promises its students an academic ambience that is

Message from the
Executive Dean
A University education is an adventure in learning and a discovery that will
enable you to explore and discover your passions and talents. Education
doesn't start in the classroom and certainly doesn't end there. We, at LPU,
believe in this notion and thence to do justice to it, we engage our students
in the unique concept of 'experiential learning'. We invite you to join us for
an educational experience that nurtures a spirit of inquiry and enterprise in
a global setting. LPU is a University that goes out to the world as well as
brings the world to our campus.
If you join us at LPU at any stage in your education, you will recognize our
endeavors in the form of sporting and cultural initiatives, geared towards
the fulfillment of our promise. Every now and then, you will witness
national and international music bands, athletes and politicians in the
campus. Your schedule will never have a blank space at any hour of the day
due to all the opportunities and interactions available to you.
Your friends will not be your immediate neighbors; if you chose to enroll in
the hostel, you can expect a roommate from Assam, Rajasthan, J&K and
even Sudan! In addition to this integrated global experience, you will be
beguiled by the openness and health of teacher-student and senior-junior
interaction. With our belief in transparent governance, the rather unpopular
communication gap between the management and the students is also
considerably reduced.
I believe that, this prospectus will further showcase our approach to this
notion and make things clearer. Meanwhile, put a deep thought into your
higher education and make an informed decision.

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.
We are located at the entrance of
Jalandhar
It is compact and safe enough to be
both friendly and fun. The city boasts of
a unique combination of historic,
cultural and social facilities. Although
best known for its cultural attractions,
Jalandhar is also a major commercial
base. Over the past twenty years, many
highly successful companies have
grown up in the city and surrounding
areas, with particular strengths in
computing and communications
technologies.
The opening up of economy and the
huge strides in infrastructure
development makes it a fascinating
place to be in. Yet despite the rapid
change it is possible to see something

been transforming every potential
opportunity into a success story.
Punjab is referred to as “The

exciting and vibrant cities in India
However you decide to get here, you’ll
find that Jalandhar is extremely
accessible from just about any
destination. It is easily accessible by
road as well as rail; and well connected
with Delhi and Amritsar, both cities
being equipped with International
airports. The tropical climate coupled
with the vibrant and friendly culture
add to the attraction of the town as a
lively and happening place positioned
on the cultural and commercial artery
of India i.e Grand Trunk Road. Being in
the heartland of NRI belt of Northern
India, the city wears an air of western
life style. An erstwhile capital of Punjab

The global financial meltdown has posed
challenges which are going to put the
management skills of the boom time managers
to real test. Majority of the organisations are
exercising utmost caution, putting expansion
plans on hold, attempting downsizing , imposing
wage cuts or cost controls to weather the storm,
which most hope should not last beyond 2010.
However, the daring ones and the innovators are
still upbeat and have chalked out elaborate
expansion plans. They are confident of keeping
their coffers ringing as in normal times.
The real test of management skills lie in
converting challenges, such as above, into
opportunities. Survival and growth strategies in
periods of economic downturn provide
interesting case studies for students, teachers,

smart technocrats' capable of
technically viable and economically
feasible solutions.

The Faculty derives its strength from
the unique pedagogy being followed
and by striving ahead in the field of
research, in the times to come. The
hallmark of methodology being
followed is the flexibility in designing,
modifying and updating the contents

based upon the inputs from industry
and keeping it abreast with the latest
technical developments. The changes
are made regularly in both syllabi as
well as in the pedagogy to imbibe the
latest through most appropriate
delivery.
The Faculty of Technology and
Sciences is offering various
programmes such as diploma
programmes, undergraduate
programmes, postgraduate
programmes and doctoral
programmes. Along with these, it also
offers innovative integrated diploma
and degree programmes, which give
the students advantage of not only
migrating seamlessly to higher degree
but also saving a year. In addition it
also provides the student with a
choice to opt out from a particular
integrated program after the
completion of one or two tiers of the
designed qualification.
Engineering education in next decade will
undergo a major transformation as it has to
cope up with the pace of technological
revolution. Academicians will have to be
more adaptable to the changes. The
growth and the technology shift in the
industry is at a lightning pace i. e. the
technology today may be obsolete
tomorrow. The need of the hour is to have
an uninterrupted, scheduled and follow up
oriented interaction between academia
and industry, so as to dynamically update
the curriculum and lab interaction input to
the student, modified as per the
requirement. At the academia, the time
when a technology is being taught to the
student, it might have lived its life and is at
the verge of being taken over by the latest.

 OUR APPROACH
The Flexibile Approach
The flexibile approach of the academic system gives an
opportunity to students to elect one or two courses
corresponding to either their branch of study, or to gain
exposure in their area of interest. These open and social-
science elective courses which are offered in most of our
programmes not only broaden the outlook of our students
but also increase their employability.
32
Faculty members and students meet periodically to tackle
classroom-related issues, bringing out the best in the
teachers and the students and ultimately enhancing the
teaching-learning process. The benefit of the tutorial system
is that students receive direct feedback on their assignment,
test, projects etc. in a small discussion setting. Student
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.
33

Entrepreneurship Projects
Since enterprise is what makes a nation prosperous, ambitious plans are
underway to promote entrepreneurial ventures among the students of
LPU. Our students are manufacturing and selling everything from face
creams, chyawanprash, chaat papri to designer garments and fashion
accessories. Encouraged by the growing spirit of enterprise among
budding professionals, LPU is contemplating setting up a corporation to
serve as incubation centre, for student's entrepreneurial ventures. New
horizons are beckoning the adventurous and the ambitious.
Entrepreneurship development seeks to provide students with the
knowledge, skills and motivation to encourage success in a variety of
settings. We focus at developing in our students an enthusiastic vision,
which is the driving force of an enterprise, the ability to take prudent
risks and to teach them the strategies to change dreams into reality. We
at LPU give our students live projects in the form of business analysis,
making new business plans, conducting surveys and encouraging them to
take up new entrepreneurial activities during their study and training
period in the University in order to get 'hands on' experience of the
business world. Various projects that are being developed by the
students are:
Production of Ayurvedic / Herbal Products
Organic farming
Opening a departmental store
Architectural consultancy
Interior design consultancy
Launching a chain of eating joints
Undertaking development of various software products
Commercialization of a web portal

 “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.
