Universities offering distance learning courses in India- Punjab

Hello Friends,
After a long gap I am back to help you with the list of state wise recognized institute's details. This is 9th posting in the series and thanks for showering love on my all previous post.

Information about the university: 
This is a private university but approved. Its name look funny (lovely), it spends a lot on advertisement. Definitely this university is meant for commercialisation of education i.e. earning money but it has started building its brand. One of its ex-faculty recently interacted with me in my professional blog and explained that the quality and everything at LPU is much better than even top branded universities in India but due to a new thing and lacking in the market brand reputation it is not getting that much placement (I agree to him on point that even if a branded institute does not provide quality, its student gets unfair advantage).

Any controversy: Yes, First of all as per earlier DEC and fresh UGC guideline, private universities cannot offer any course outside the city where they are situated. Such degree becomes invalid for higher education as well as public sector job. LPU is a private university so it should not offer any courses outside Phagwara in Punjab. Students desirous to take higher studies in India and abroad and those planning for public sector job be cautious. Opt this university if you are able to visit its campus to give exam as any degree outside its campus stands invalid.
