Credit Transfer programme: International credit transfer programs allow students to move to a foreign partner university after spending generally half of the programme duration at LPU. In such a case a student gets the final degree from the foreign partner university. It is extremely cost-effective because you start the degree at LPU and save by paying only two-year fees or one-year fees of the foreign partner university. Semester Exchange programme: In the semester exchange programme, students get an opportunity to study a full semester at our partner universities around the world and finish their degree at LPU. From living in a foreign country with a different cultural setting to staying with foreigners, a semester abroad is like getting an international education in 5 months. Summer/Winter Study Abroad programme: These programs generally happen in the summer vacations or winter vacations of the academic year. A summer/winter study programme offers courses, both academic and non-academic. Students can have the best of both worlds, international exposure without disturbing their academic schedule. Courses usually last from one to six weeks. International internships opportunities
Masters abroad programme: Many students aspire to do their master's or Ph.D. abroad after graduating from LPU. The university has tie-ups with top universities globally where our students get preferential scholarships and seats.

Being alumni of LPU, I would say that you should have only passed with 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English or equivalent. There is no entrance exam for admission. You can directly get admission based on your marks in the 12th class. My friend also did B.Sc. In this from LPU. A few salient features of this programme are mentioned below:
Tourism Sector Oriented
The Course focuses on every single pillar of tourism and its associated parties
