Lovely Professional University's Twinning programs: Offering diversity in disciplines and learning destinations at minimal expenses

The ongoing economic downturn that struck the world economy last year is proving to be big blow to Indian students’ foreign education dreams. Thousands of students, who were aspiring to go abroad for higher studies, are deferring their plans due to global recession, tapering financial assistance and a bleak job market.
In this background, LPU has come with its series of twinning programs in Engineering, Business Administration and Computer Applications that provide such students to get an international degree at approx. 50% of the conventional cost incurred while studying abroad. With the articulation arrangement between LPU and foreign universities, the former is offering these Twinning programmes. As per the arrangement, students complete a part of a programme at LPU, and rest with the foreign partner university. The final degree is awarded by the foreign university.

As the years of the programme in LPU are based on US pedagogy, thus these programmes provide students with an opportunity to choose their specialization after they join LPU's partner university abroad.
