If you are deciding to prepare for any competitive exam, then Lucknow University can be a good choice. You will additionally secure a degree from a state-run university which can help contribute to providing ample time for personal studies.

The faculty of Lucknow University does not specifically concentrate on teaching students everything. If ever required, the faculty takes initiative to cooperate, despite unnatural pitfalls. But, the motive of preparation depends entirely upon you.

It is suggested that you study and prepare for further exams on your own, alongside the assistance of faculty, if deemed necessary at any point.

Lucknow University is renowned to offer a bunch of different courses, within which B.Tech is a freshly inaugurated branch that started anew in the year 2017. 

  • Since it is extremely new in cases alike, the placements are not highly fruitful at present. In light of this fact, there is currently no alumni network as well. 
  • Unlike many other universities, you are expected to work harder than anticipated, so as to grab a position in the job sector.
  • Your career essentially depends upon how ready you are to prepare in the best way possible. 
  • No amount of external guidance can assist you in gaining a fruitful career prospect, let alone the university. Prepare thoroughly while pursuing any course you are inclined towards. 
  • You can also choose to prepare for either of the major competitive exams, GATE, CAT, IES among others.

Moreover, only choose Lucknow University if you are devoid of any options. Other than that, there is absolutely no issue in joining Lucknow University.

I have a few friends from Lucknow University and according to them, for the entrance examination, it focuses more on the syllabus of your 11th and 12th commerce subjects mainly. There will be a total of 75 questions based on these subjects.

The topics covered in the examination are as follows. 

  • Business Studies,
  • Accounts,
  • Economics,
  • Math, and
  • Current Affairs.

Further, Current Affairs is not a particular subject but is all about what is happening all around you. It is just a basic knowledge of what is happening in the world around us and this constitutes about 25 questions of the test.

You can acquire books and study materials online for the LU entrance examination.

Whether you should choose Lucknow University or National Postgraduate College, depends on your priorities. 

If you only want to focus on your studies then you can opt for National PG College. But if you want to do your studies as well as a part-time job or want to pursue some professional courses like C.A, C.S, then you should go for Lucknow University. 

At National PG college you will need to have at least 75% attendance. Whereas, LU doesn’t have such attendance rule. You can easily give your papers. 

Some of the advantages of joining National PG college are that it is disciplined, the faculties are great, and they follow their own syllabus. While LU offers a huge campus, it also offers more subject combinations for its courses. 

Both institutes have their advantages and disadvantages, so choose according to your convenience.

There is no specific exam pattern you will get to see for the entrance exam at Lucknow University. The exam pattern keeps changing year by year. Here is a rough pattern that LU follows. 

  • GK: 20 questions.
  • Reasoning: 20 questions.
  • 10+2(Intermediate): 50 questions.
  • Hindi and English literature (5+5): 10 questions.

This pattern is also followed for the entrance of National PG College and IT College (Lucknow) as well.

Now as you want to prepare for the entrance exam then I will suggest you visit Amazon to purchase books for the LU entrance exam. If you are an average student but your basics are clear then you can easily crack this exam.

Since Lucknow University has started conducting entrance exams in MCQ form for Undergraduate and in descriptive form for Postgraduate level. Previous year’s papers are not available in the market and the ones available are not the original. They are based on memory or model paper type.

To prepare for the UG level, revise the 10+2 level syllabus of the concerned course and for the PG level revise UG notes. It would be enough to score well in the exam.

If you are trying to make an appearance in the corporate world, then stepping into a university with prospects as much as what Lucknow University has would not necessarily turn out good at the end of the day. 

There is a broader reason why:

  • Choosing to pursue an intensive course like MBA might not be fruitful if you opt for a particularly obscure university.
  • The professors of the university can be highly qualified and professional in what they have done until now. 
  • Lucknow University has not quite sntached the attention, when placements are considered.
  • The pedagogy of the faculty is undoubtedly exceptional, but the administration does not take responsibility for placement opportunities.

If you are particularly focusing on your academic credentials, besides your location tethered to Lucknow itself, then Lucknow University can be a good choice; but in no case otherwise. 

It is best that you reach out to several faculty members of the institute closely attached to Lucknow University, for better guidance regarding your course structure.

Allahabad University LLB will be a better option. Being a central university it offers better academics and resources. The Law faculty of Allahabad University is excellent. The environment on campus is competitive and inspires learning. As a student of AU, you will also have a locational advantage, since Allahabad Highcourt is located closer to the campus.

The hostel fees of Lucknow University completely depends upon the course. It varies depending on whether your course is regular or self-financed.

As you have not mentioned your course hence, I would tell you that for the regular course the fees of Hostel accommodation fees are around INR 60000 per annum.

Recently, the price has been raised and now it is INR 6750 for the hostel. Also, you will have to submit a security fee which will be returned to you later.

f your time there.
