hi,

Lovely Professional University (LPU) primarily offers placement assistance to full-time PhD candidates, but part-time PhD students in Sociology may also benefit from career guidance and networking opportunities. While part-time PhD students are generally working professionals or those with other commitments, LPU’s placement cell provides support in terms of workshops, industry exposure, and academic networking, which can help enhance career prospects.

Part-time candidates are encouraged to connect with academic institutions, research organizations, NGOs, and think tanks through the university’s resources. Although LPU may not guarantee direct placements for part-time PhD candidates, the skills and qualifications gained during the PhD program, along with the university's strong academic network, can significantly improve job opportunities in teaching, research, or consultancy roles.

Candidates can also leverage their professional experience and the university’s platform to pursue academic or research-oriented careers post-PhD.
