Rankings

University rankings

The Lovely Institute Of Law was ranked 18 by India Today's "India's Best Colleges 2017: Law", the lowest ranking in the list.[6]

Student Violence

In April 2011, during a football game a student was beaten by opposition team members and died a few hours later in hospital. The beaten student was from Mizoram and the three accused were Sudanese and Tanzanian.[7] The racial aspect of the crime led to near-rioting on the campus, destroying a number of kiosks and cars. Tension continued with the university closed for three days, and with police being pelted with stones by angry students.[8] LPU Pro-Chancellor Rashmi Mittal described the attack as, "students didn’t take the spirit of the game in a positive manner".[9] The university's management have also been criticised for ignoring earlier and later racial attacks.[10] [11]
