I have scored 45% in my 12th grade. Am I eligible for B.Tech admission at LPU?

With 45% in 12th, direct B.Tech eligibility at LPU may be limited since most programs expect higher marks, especially in PCM. Still, options like diploma or foundation pathways can help build eligibility. The advantage is a flexible curriculum and industry exposure later, but it may take an extra step before entering core engineering.

Can I expect good placements after completing BTech from this university?
