The Learners' Premier League (LPL) is an initiative by NU that enhances the experiential learning for students by bringing in a blend of research & discovery, collaborative and real-life problem-solving methodologies into play.
Implemented as a process-based PBL (Project-based learning) over a period of two months, it takes a multi-disciplinary approach by integrating five different disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Communication Skills, Digital Logic Circuit & Management Principles).
Student project teams take up industry-relevant roles and explore diverse domains ranging from Nanotechnology, Agriculture, Fashion, AR/VR, to Biotechnology.
Under the guidance of the Buddy and Associate Mentors and the Faculty, they will identify a real-life problem in the suggested domain/topics and also propose a solution to that problem.
The entire project is monitored by leveraging Project Management tools like Clickup which gives NUtons exposure to industry tools.
Students are guided and evaluated in their projects by a panel of professors led by Dr. Vinay Sharma, Dr. Hiteshi Tandon, Dr. Ajay Kumar Singh, Dr. Meera S Datta, Dr. Anshima P Srivastava, Dr. Arghya Guchhait and Dr. Navin Chettri.
After the final evaluations, a set of teams get shortlisted for the LPL Finale. They will have various rounds of competition with each other, with the final winner being awarded the LPL Trophy.
