Lovely Professional University (LPU) does not currently offer a BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine & Surgery) program. Therefore, there is no management quota fee available for BHMS at LPU. LPU’s health science programs mainly include B.Sc., B.Pharmacy, and allied courses, with fees varying depending on the program. For BHMS, students typically need to join other private colleges, where the total course fee for 5.5 years ranges around ₹8–12 lakhs.
