From small B-school to 35,000-student university: LPU's rapid expansion

Lovely Professional University reported a total enrollment of 35,676 students in 2025, marking significant growth from its origins as a small business school. The composition of the student body has shifted notably over recent years, reflecting the institution's expanding geographic reach.

Students from Punjab, the university's home state, made up 11.8% of total enrollment in 2021 but declined to 8.8% by 2025. This shift underscores LPU's growing appeal beyond its regional base as it has scaled operations and expanded its academic footprint.
