This year, students from 50+ countries, including China, South Africa, Lesotho Kingdom, Maldives, Yemen, and Mongolia, and all 29 Indian states of India have joined the university.
Thousands of new students from different parts of our country and the world have taken admission at Lovely Professional University for the new academic session 2016-17. In order to ease them into their new academic journey and make them feel welcomed, LPU organized a special 14-Day induction program. During the induction program, new students were briefed about the university systems, policies, support mechanisms, and the multi-ethnic campus life at LPU. They were taken on campus and city tours and put at their ease through entertaining ice breaker games.
Observing UGC regulations on curbing the menace of ragging, LPU senior students also designed many entertaining programs to extend the hand of frienship towards the new commers. In addition, a special information diary having university rules- regulations, policies, procedures, phone numbers, important places in Jalandhar was also provided to each new entrant. Welcoming and congratulating the new students on joining the LPU community, Chancellor Mr Ashok Mittal motivated all of them, “I am happy to see a new sea of students at the campus and welcome them on their new academic journey towards bright tomorrows.”
Students were also guided to work for their placements right from the beginning. MDs, CEOs, top officials from companies including Google, SAP, Coca Cola, Nissan Motors, and Hughes, and other high-ranking officers from the Government and Private sectors were specially invited to interact with the new students to broaden their horizons. A special shoppers’ street was also arranged, to make available different items of students’ immediate and daily needs.
Mr Dinesh Babuss, the father of BSc Hotel Managementstudent messaged from Bangalore (Karnataka): “Our daughter has informed us that she is very happy commencing her higher academic journey at LPU. Initially, we were worried about her settling in a far off institution in a distant state, but the good things she had to say about the LPU environment and culture has indeed comforted us.”
