Jalandhar (Ens): Lovely Professional University (LPU) has added yet another milestone to its legacy of nurturing globally competitive talent as Nikhilan J.M., a B.Tech Aerospace Engineering student, has been selected to represent India at the 48th WorldSkills Competition, to be held in Shanghai, China, in the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Technology skill category.
Nikhilan earned his place in the Indian contingent after delivering an exceptional performance throughout the national selection process. His journey has been marked by remarkable consistency and technical excellence. He first secured the Gold Medal at the Regional Skills Competition before winning the Silver Medal at the IndiaSkills Competition 2025-26 in the UAS Technology category.
Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU, stated, “In the emerging global knowledge economy, a nation’s true strength will be defined not merely by the scale of its resources, but by the depth of its skilled human capital. At LPU, we have built an ecosystem where industry exposure, research, innovation, and experiential learning come together to enable students to translate their potential into global competence. I am confident nikhilian will compete with distinction and inspire countless young Indians to pursue excellence in advanced technologies.”
