Dear Kundan ,I don’t have specific publicly available information on the exact “Part 2” admission fee for the 2021–2024 batch at LPU. The university’s fee structure varies depending on the course and semester, so the exact amount depends on your program. As a general guideline, LPU requires semester fees to be paid at regular intervals after admission. If you tell me your course, such as BSc, BTech, or MBA, I can provide an approximate fee estimate based on the current fee structure.
