8 min read · 6 Mar 2026
This article is part of the LPU Online admissions guide by AVEDU — fees, eligibility and admission help for every 2026 programme.
Key takeaways
- • No entrance exam — admission is merit-based on your last qualifying degree.
- • Two intakes every year: January and July.
- • The full process takes 2–4 days from application to LMS access.
- • Applying early protects both the scholarship slab and the fee discount.
LPU Online admissions are refreshingly simple — there is no entrance exam and the whole process is online. The catch is that most delays come from avoidable document errors. This guide walks through every step and flags the mistakes that hold applications up.
Step 1 — Confirm eligibility
UG programs need 10+2 from a recognized board with 50% marks (45% for reserved categories). PG programs need a bachelor's degree with 50% marks (45% relaxed). There is no upper age limit for any online program.
Step 2 — Free counseling (recommended)
Speak to an advisor before you fill the form. Specialization choice is the one decision you cannot easily reverse after semester 2, and a 15-minute call usually saves candidates from picking the wrong stream.
Step 3 — Fill the online application
Register with your mobile number and email, then complete personal, academic and program details. Enter your name exactly as printed on your 10th marksheet — mismatches are the single most common cause of verification delays.

Step 4 — Upload documents
Keep clear scans ready in PDF or JPG under the size limit.
- • 10th and 12th marksheets
- • Graduation degree / provisional certificate (PG applicants)
- • Government photo ID — Aadhaar or PAN
- • Passport-size photograph and signature
- • Category or scholarship supporting certificate, if applicable
Step 5 — Pay the fee
Choose full payment, semester-wise payment or 0% EMI. Payment confirmation is instant for cards and UPI; EMI approval can take up to 48 hours.
Step 6 — Verification and LMS access
Documents are verified within 24–48 hours. Once cleared, you receive your enrolment number and LMS credentials by email and can start attending classes immediately.
Mistakes that delay admission
Blurred document scans, name mismatches between marksheet and ID, uploading a mark statement instead of a degree certificate for PG, and applying in the last week of an intake when verification queues are longest.
Important dates for 2026
January intake applications typically close in late January; July intake closes in late July. Scholarship slabs are allotted on a first-come basis, so early applicants get the better deal.
