You need 55% aggregate marks in a bachelor's degree with Physics. Students from the North-East, Sikkim, defence families and Kashmiri migrant families need 50%. A B.Tech in Electronics and Communication, Mechanical, Electrical or Electrical and Electronics also counts. You do not need an entrance exam for the seat.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | Bachelor's degree in any stream with Physics |
| Marks | 55% aggregate, 50% with the 5% relaxation |
| B.Tech route | ECE, Mechanical, Electrical or EEE |
| Entrance exam | Not needed for the seat |
| LPUNEST | Only for the scholarship |
You apply online, take LPUNEST for the scholarship, and choose the programme in online counselling. LPU then shows the allotment result, and you pay the first semester fee to confirm the seat. If you miss the fee date on your offer, you lose the seat.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Apply online | Fill the LPU form on the admission site |
| 2. Take LPUNEST | Online from home or at a test centre |
| 3. Counselling | Pick the programme and wait for the allotment result |
| 4. Pay the fee | Pay the first semester fee by the date on your offer |
| 5. Report | Bring original mark sheets for the document check |
The cutoff is 55% aggregate marks in your degree, and 50% for the relaxation groups. There is no entrance rank for this course, so your degree marks decide the seat. LPUNEST only sets how much scholarship you get.
| Group | Minimum degree marks | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| All students | 55% | Merit in the degree |
| North-East, Sikkim, defence, Kashmiri migrant | 50% | 5% relaxation |

I am currently pursuing B.Tech CSE at LPU. According to me, LPU is one of the best institutes for BTech in Computer Science because of its excellent academics, top placements, scholarship facility, and more.
LPU was ranked 50 by NIRF in 2023 for its Engineering courses. Other than that, LPU has attained the 3rd rank because of the coding expertise demonstrated by its students on the International Coding Platform- HackerEarth. More than 90 students of B.Tech Computer Science at LPU cleared the TCS National Qualifier Test (NQT). The highest package offered to B.Tech Computer Science students at LPU is around INR 64 LPA, and the average package is around INR 14.97 LPA.
I don’t know much about Amity Gwalior, but LPU is definitely a good choice for B.Tech Computer Science.
I am a second year BCA student at LPU. I chose LPU over IMS Ghaziabad for BCA because of the following reasons:
According to the IMS Ghaziabad placement report 2022, around 25% of students in the BCA program got placed, and the highest salary package offered to the BCA students was INR 10 LPA.
When a student chooses a university, they must consider factors such as academic environment, faculty, placement opportunities, ranking, industrial exposure, professional training, infrastructure, etc. So according to these factors, I can say BCA at LPU is better than IMS Ghaziabad.
As a former student at LPU, I would suggest you go for a BTech ECE at LPU.
LPU has attained high rankings in the past years, and it is one of the best private universities in India. It has been ranked 50th among top Engineering colleges in India by NIRF Ranking 2023.

Yes, BA LLB at LPU will be a good option to choose from rather than other private colleges. Here are the top reasons why.
LPU has a different fee structure for national and international students for the credit transfer program. I have listed the fee for the credit transfer program for you below.
| Type of Students | Applicable Fee |
|---|---|
| National Students+International Students from Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka | INR 50000 + Tuition fee for 1st Semester (Term I) |
| International students from countries other than those mentioned above | USD 625 + Tuition fee for 1st Semester (Term I) |
At the undergraduate level, LPU offers a BSc. in Medical Laboratory Technology (B.Sc. MLT) which is a three year paramedical undergraduate program that trains students for a career as Medical Laboratory Technicians.
For admissions into this program at LPU, the candidates must clear their 10+2 with 60% aggregate (with English, Physics, Chemistry and Maths/Biology/Biotechnology as core subjects). For admission to this course, you must clear LPUNEST or CUET. The university also offers a Diploma in Medical Lab Technology (DMLT).
I hope this answered your query regarding paramedical courses offered at LPU on the undergraduate/diploma level.
