Aligned with the philosophy of creating successful careers, the university has introduced Work-Integrated Programs that allow students to collaborate directly with industry professionals, gaining hands-on experience through projects that build practical expertise and upskill relevant competencies. Pre-placement offers (PPOs) are a testament to the real-world readiness of LPU students, providing them with industry-aligned skills, from communication and resilience to teamwork.

From the academic year 2024-25, LPU expanded its offerings with programs in AI, Cloud Computing, Tech MBA, Data Science, Big Data Analytics, Aerospace Engineering, Bioengineering, Architecture, and more.
