Yes, admissions are open for B.Tech Electrical and Electronics Engineering at LPU for the 2026 session. The admission process is based on 10+2 marks with Physics, Mathematics and English, along with LPUNEST, JEE Main or CUET qualification. The program is known for combining core electrical subjects with practical industry exposure through workshops, projects and internships. Placement opportunities are available in both core and technology sectors, but outcomes usually depend on skills, consistency and project experience during the course.

Among B.Tech courses, Computer Science, AI and ML, Cyber Security, Data Science, and Electronics with modern tech specialisations are currently giving strong job opportunities because companies are hiring for digital and automation roles. At LPU, many students prefer these programs because the curriculum includes coding practice, industry projects, internships, and placement preparation from early semesters. Core branches also have opportunities, but placements usually depend more on practical skills, certifications, and consistent performance during the course.
