Guru Kashi University

If you mean Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh, Group Discussions (GD) are mainly conducted for management/MBA admissions, not for most regular undergraduate programmes.

For the 2026–27 admission cycle, GD & PI are specifically part of:

• MBA (Sectoral) programmes at UIAMS, Panjab University.
• MBA at University Business School (UBS), Panjab University Regional Centre, Ludhiana, where GD & PI are also conducted.

So, if you're asking about BBA, B.Com, BA, BCA, etc., GD is generally not the standard admission process it depends on the specific programme and its admission notice. You can check the official Panjab University admission notices for the exact course.

A comparison of the cost of pursuing a MBA at Lovely Professional University (LPU) and Guru Kashi University (GKU) Bathinda, the fee structure of both institutions is different, although LPU has good value added learning in terms of scholarship and the general academic advantages. At LPU, an MBA fee would normally be between INR 5.8 Lacs and INR 11 Lacs to complete the course in different specializations. Nevertheless, LPU allows high scholarships according to academic excellence, entrance examination, etc., and the total cost may be decreased considerably. 

By contrast, GKU Bathinda MBA fee is lower on paper and normally costs between Goal range of about INR 70,000-1,40,000 a year. Although this might appear to be cheaper at first glance, LPU is worth the expenses in terms of its high-level infrastructure, the provision of placement assistance, and commerce with the industry, as well as international exposures. 

Also, LPU provides alternative options of payment, monetary support, and scholarships based on performance, making the programme more affordable to a large number of students. Based on the level of education, job opportunities, and the value of financial aid, LPU would be a cheaper and valuable investment choice amongst those planning to pursue MBA.
