Recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and accredited with the highest NAAC ‘A++’ grade among dual-mode universities in the country, LPU has grown into one of India’s largest private educational institutions with a vast portfolio of programmes across engineering, sciences, management, arts, and applied fields.

LPU Online emphasises digital accessibility, interactive learning, and practical outcomes. Students enrolled in these programmes are granted the same degree certificates as on-campus students upon successful completion, with academic standards designed to align with those of traditional classroom-based teaching. The learning experience typically includes live virtual lectures, recorded sessions, digital study resources, and online assessments, all managed through an online learning platform.
