Feedback process of the University
The University has a effective mechanism to seek feedback from different stakeholders like students, parents, Teachers, recruiters, alumni etc. The feedback received is analyzed and action is taken to improve the teaching learinig processes and experience of the stakeholders.
In the process of curriculum development and review, the existing curriculum goes through a comprehensive and elaborate evaluation procedure, which has to undergo various stages with an active contribution of students, teachers, and academic experts of other institutions. The feedback is collected online through University Management System before the closing of the semester. After the compilation of obtained feedback from all stakeholders, the same is assessed by the duly constituted curriculum review committee of the university, which usually meets at the end of each semester. The curriculum review committee makes a thorough discussion on the suggestions given during feedback and makes valuable changes by maintaining the coherence with the scheme. After the complete analysis of the feedback, changes are suggested in the Board of Studies meeting. On the recommendations of the members of the BOS, the needful changes are incorporated.

Curriculum has enabled most of them to meet the job opportunities and secure placements in reputed companies.
Practical, participative learning and problem-solving methodologies are the integrated parts of teaching-learning process. Student’s performance and learning outcomes are measured through the attainment of Programme Outcomes, Course Outcomes and evaluations carried by the experts from various organizations. Industrial-Institute collaborative and Intra-University Competitions to measure the attainments of course outcomes and requisite level of understanding among the students. Students cleared IELTS/Civil services examination/national competitive examinations/UGC NET.

What students require today in academic institutes is not just academic lessons. Thus, a system that helps a student to understand his or her self-emotions, and mental duress while teaching him or she how to build up healthy and functional relationships as well as develop resilience and team spirit is the true form of education. Our alumni have provided their agreement to support our ongoing procedures followed for the betterment of students. Also, they have brought some areas of improvement into light which would be helpful for us to grow more and improve precisely. LPU is such a system that boosts the morale of a student so that they can go on to achieve greater heights in their careers while becoming upstanding citizens of the society who contribute to the growth and development of the country. Hence, the holistic development of students is very important right from the beginning of professional life.
