FAQs on Lovely Professional University M.Tech
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is M.Tech at LPU worth the fee?▾
It can be, if you get a scholarship. The full fee is INR 4.20 Lakhs in the Computing group, and NIRF data shows a median pay of INR 6.77 LPA with 39% of graduates placed. That placement rate is low, so do not count on a campus job. Take LPUNEST or GATE first, and check your waiver in the scholarship calculator above.
Which M.Tech branch should I pick at LPU?▾
Pick the course that matches your bachelor's degree and the job you want. Computing group courses cost INR 4.20 Lakhs, and Core group courses cost INR 3.40 Lakhs. LPU does not publish pay by course, so pay cannot guide the choice here. Read who each course suits in the branch block above before you pay.
Will I get a job after M.Tech at LPU?▾
Not for sure. NIRF data for LPU's 2-year PG engineering courses shows 39% of graduates placed, at a median pay of INR 6.77 LPA. Many M.Tech students also go on to research or teaching. Ask the placement cell which companies came for your course last year before you join.
Who should skip M.Tech at LPU?▾
Skip it if you need a sure campus job, since only 39% of graduates were placed in the NIRF data. Also skip it if you hold a GATE score good enough for a government college with a lower fee. If neither applies, compare your fee after the scholarship with the median pay first.
Should I take LPUNEST or use my GATE score?▾
Use whichever gives the bigger scholarship. A GATE score of 95 percentile or more takes 60% off the programme fee, the same as LPUNEST Cut-off A. The LPUNEST test fee is INR 1,000, so taking both costs little. Take both if you can and use the better result.
Is the Computing group worth INR 80,000 more?▾
Only if you want a computing job. The Computing group costs INR 4.20 Lakhs and the Core group INR 3.40 Lakhs for two years without hostel. LPU publishes one median pay for all its PG engineering courses, so the extra fee does not promise more pay. Pick the group for the subject you want to study.
Is M.Tech at LPU good for a PhD or research?▾
It can help, if you want to stay in research. LPU also offers a CSE by Research course with a year abroad through a 1+1 credit transfer. If research is your plan, ask the department about project guides and lab time before you pick a course.
Should I join LPU or wait a year for a better GATE score?▾
Join now if your score already gives a 50% or 60% scholarship here. Wait only if you are close to a government college seat with a much lower fee. A year of waiting costs a year of pay, so compare both fees after scholarships before you decide.
How do I get admission to M.Tech at LPU?▾
Sign up on the LPU admission portal and take LPUNEST, or apply with a valid GATE score. You need 55% in a related bachelor's degree. Pay INR 10,000 and upload your papers to hold the seat. The dates for 2027 are in the dates block above.
Is the M.Tech fee the same for every branch at LPU?▾
No. LPU has two branch groups. The Computing group costs INR 4.20 Lakhs and the Core group INR 3.40 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Both include the exam fee of INR 5,000 a semester. Tap your group in the fee block above to see your total.
How much does hostel cost for M.Tech at LPU?▾
The lowest room with mess costs INR 1.12 Lakhs a year, so INR 2.24 Lakhs for the two years. Rooms with fewer students cost more. Turn on the hostel switch in the fee block above to see your full cost.
Does LPU publish cutoffs for M.Tech?▾
No. LPU does not publish closing ranks or seats by course. Your LPUNEST or GATE score decides your scholarship, not whether you get a course. Use the score checker above to see what your score gets you.
