At Lovely Professional University, a student with a Diploma can pursue B.Tech through lateral entry if they have minimum around 60% aggregate marks in their diploma (requirements may vary by branch). Admission is usually offered directly into the 2nd year of B.Tech, saving one academic year. Eligibility and exact percentage criteria can differ by program, so LPU recommends checking the latest admission guidelines for the respective engineering branch.
