LPU usually has seats available in B.Tech CSE even during the second round of counselling for AP EAMCET, depending on remaining vacancies. You can apply online through the LPU admission portal, check course availability, and complete the application with required documents and fee payment. It’s advisable to confirm seat status early, as high-demand courses like CSE fill quickly.

If you get a 42,000 rank in KCET, admission to top government colleges may be limited, but private universities like LPU remain a good option. LPU’s annual tuition fees are around ₹1.5–1.6 lakh, with hostel fees ranging from ₹80,000 to ₹1,10,000 and mess charges around ₹38,000–₹46,000. SC category students can avail scholarships that reduce fees significantly. LPU offers strong infrastructure, placements, and career opportunities despite higher fees.

I am from the "Electronics and Computer Science" branch. If I appear for GATE in the Electronics and Communication (EC) paper, will I still be eligible for the PSU hiring process, considering their strict branch‑specific criteria?

If you are a Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) graduate appearing for GATE in Electronics and Communication (EC) paper, you may face challenges in PSU hiring, since there are specific eligibility for the qualifying degree branch. For example, PSUs like NTPC, BHEL, Power Grid, and NPCIL only accept graduates in BE/B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE). Graduates in ECS may qualify for CS/IT-focused PSUs through CS paper instead. However, recruitment to certain PSUs like ONGC, IOCL will be done through GATE 2026 only.
