Congratulating all the listed top institutions, Hon’ble Human Resource Development Minister, Prakash Javadekar, mentioned: “NIRF is the most authenticated and free of any bias ranking system available in India.

Mr Javadekar also impressed upon especially the importance of ‘Outreach and Inclusivity’ in the functioning of an institution.
Feeling immensely happy on LPU being ranked among the top institutions in the prestigious Ministry of HRD’s NIRF ranking, LPU Chancellor Mr Ashok Mittal observed, “Such prestigious rankings encourage us all at LPU to keep on working hard, unflinchingly.
