For M.Sc. Agriculture (Agronomy) at Lovely Professional University, the fee for the full 2-year course is approximately ₹4.8 lakh to ₹5 lakh in total. 

On a yearly basis, it comes to around ₹2.4–2.5 lakh per year. 

If you get a scholarship through LPUNEST or based on your marks, the fee can be reduced significantly. For example, with a good score, the yearly fee can drop to around ₹60,000–₹1 lakh per year depending on the scholarship category. 

Hostel and mess charges are separate and can cost roughly ₹80,000–₹1.5 lakh per year, depending on the type of room you choose. 

So in simple words, total cost for 2 years is around ₹5 lakh (without scholarship) and can be much lower if you get a good scholarship.

For the CS branch at Lovely Professional University, placements are generally considered decent compared to many private universities. Every year, a wide range of companies visit for recruitment, including Amazon, Infosys, Cognizant, and Wipro. Most students get opportunities in software development, IT services, testing, and analytics roles. The average package usually falls around ₹5–7 LPA, while higher packages are achieved by students with strong coding skills, projects, and internships.

As for whether it's worth it, many students find CSE at LPU a good option because of the exposure, infrastructure, and industry-oriented activities like hackathons, coding contests, and training programs. However, like in any college, the final outcome depends a lot on your own effort. If you stay consistent with coding, build projects, and prepare for placements, the CSE branch at LPU can provide a solid platform to start your career.

No, students from Lovely Professional University do not automatically lose their jobs after 6 months of probation. The probation period is a standard industry practice followed by most companies, whether you graduate from LPU or any other college.

What actually happens is that during probation, companies evaluate your performance, skills, and work attitude. If a student performs well, they are confirmed as a permanent employee. In rare cases, if someone struggles to meet expectations, a company may extend the probation or let them go; but this is individual performance-based, not something specific to LPU students.

Many LPU students continue successfully in companies like Infosys, Cognizant, and Wipro, so the outcome mainly depends on how well you adapt and perform on the job.

As a student at Lovely Professional University, my experience was a mix of opportunities and self-effort. The campus is huge and very active, so you're constantly exposed to different things, coding competitions, workshops, guest lectures, and cultural events. In CSE especially, there were plenty of chances to work on projects, participate in hackathons, and improve practical skills beyond just classroom learning.

Academically, it really depends on how serious you are. The faculty is generally supportive, and if you approach them or stay consistent with classes and labs, you can learn a lot. Placements were decent, with many companies visiting, but I noticed that students who focused on coding, internships, and projects got much better results. Overall, I'd say LPU gives you the platform, what you achieve from it depends on how you use those four years.
