LPU B.A (Hons.) in Political Science - Fees, Eligibility, Seats and Admission 2025

Overall: I pursued my BA in Political Science at Lovely Professional University and honestly, it gave me way more than I expected. It wasn’t just about studying political theories and ideologies — we had open discussions, debates, research assignments, and exposure to real-world issues that shaped how I look at governance, law, and society. The course is well-structured, and the diversity of classmates added multiple perspectives to every topic. From Indian politics to international relations and political philosophy — the curriculum had both depth and variety. I also loved how we were encouraged to participate in youth parliaments, seminars, and guest lectures by diplomats and bureaucrats. LPU gave me the confidence to speak, write, and think critically — and that’s a big win for any student in the humanities.

Placement: While Political Science isn’t a “placement-heavy” course like engineering or management, LPU still offered some really helpful support. There were internship opportunities in NGOs, think tanks, and policy research organizations. A few of my batchmates also went on to prep for UPSC, and the environment at LPU really supports that ambition. We had sessions on current affairs, resume building, and even public speaking. The university also has tie-ups with organizations for internships, especially in the development and social sector. Some of us even got chances to assist in faculty-led research projects, which is a solid base for postgrad or government jobs.

Infrastructure: As a Political Science student, I spent a lot of time in classrooms, the Central Library, and quiet spaces around campus — and LPU’s infrastructure supports that kind of intellectual vibe. The classrooms are digital-enabled, and the library is one of the largest in North India, with great collections on politics, law, philosophy, and history. There are seminar halls where debates and model UNs were often conducted. We also had access to LPU’s online portal which is quite useful for accessing e-books, journals, and course updates. And it’s not just academic spaces — the overall campus environment is lively and modern, with cafes, sports areas, and creative zones that help you unwind after a long lecture.

Faculty: The Political Science faculty at LPU was one of the biggest strengths of the program. Most professors had either PhDs or were pursuing research in areas like international affairs, constitutional law, or political theory. They taught with passion and often brought in real-world examples to connect theory with practice. What I appreciated most was their openness to dialogue. You could raise a counterpoint in class, and they would encourage it. Assignments weren’t just about grades — they pushed us to think critically and write well. I also had the chance to work on a minor research project with one of my professors, which gave me a taste of academic research.

Hostel: My three years in LPU’s hostel were honestly comfortable. The rooms are neat, well-furnished, and regularly cleaned. I stayed in a 3-seater non-AC room, which was affordable and had enough space for all of us. The Wi-Fi was decent — enough for research, YouTube, and Netflix. The mess food was hygienic and rotated every few days, and there are food courts on campus with a bunch of affordable options. I never had any safety concerns — there’s 24/7 security, CCTV surveillance, and even a health centre nearby. The hostel experience also helped me meet students from other states and even different countries, which made life more interesting and diverse.
