No, it is not necessary to take any sports in college at LPU. Sports are optional, not compulsory. But LPU gives many chances in sports for those who are interested. The university has big sports grounds, indoor stadiums, and expert coaches. If any student is good in sports, they can also get scholarships and represent LPU in national and international levels. LPU always supports students who want to do something in sports along with studies. But if someone is not interested in sports, that is totally okay. There is no pressure. Students can join other clubs, events, or activities based on their interest. LPU believes in giving freedom to students so they can grow in the field they love. So, it's your choice, not a rule.
