This is achieved through a multi-faceted strategy that involves collaboration with leading companies, hands-on learning experiences, and a robust ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. LPU's proactive measures are designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world industry expectations.

Collaborations and Partnerships

LPU maintains strong collaborations with top national and international companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, TCS, and Infosys. These partnerships facilitate internships, industrial visits, corporate training programs, and guest lectures, ensuring that students have direct exposure to industry practices and technologies. These internships not only provide hands-on experience but also offer many companies the opportunity to offer Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) to students who perform well during their internships.

Live Projects and Case Studies

LPU encourages students to participate in live projects and case studies that involve solving real business problems. These projects often involve collaborations with industry partners, giving students the chance to apply their classroom knowledge to real-world situations. The university organizes corporate training programs, boot camps, and workshops in partnership with industry leaders. LPU also hosts and participates in national and international hackathons, coding competitions, and technical fests, which simulate real-world problems and encourage innovation. These events help develop problem-solving skills, teamwork, and creativity, while offering exposure to industry challenges.

LPU’s mentorship programs pair students with industry professionals who provide valuable guidance on career planning, skill development, and professional growth. Mentors often come from renowned companies and offer insights into industry trends and best practices. For students interested in starting their own ventures, LPU has entrepreneurship cells and incubators that provide resources, mentoring, and funding opportunities to help them launch and scale their startups. This exposure to the startup ecosystem helps students gain practical business experience and understand market dynamics.
