For B.Tech admission at LPU, eligibility is mainly based on LPUNEST or JEE Main score, not a fixed percentage cutoff. However, candidates must have passed 10+2 with at least 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (with English). Higher scores in LPUNEST or JEE Main improve chances of admission and scholarships. LPU uses merit-based selection, so better academic performance and entrance test scores help in getting preferred branches like CSE and higher financial aid.
