                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Lovely Professional University's Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme is a highly sought-after course, and the university has established a set of eligibility criteria to ensure that only the most deserving candidates are selected. To be eligible for admission to LPU's B.Tech CSE programme, students must have completed their 12th standard examination from a recognized board with a minimum aggregate of 60% marks. Additionally, students must have studied Physics, Mathematics, and English as compulsory subjects in their 12th standard. Furthermore, students must have a valid score in the LPU National Entrance and Scholarship Test (LPUNEST) or JEE Mains. Meeting these criteria demonstrates a student's academic excellence and prepares them for the rigors of the CSE programme. By setting these standards, LPU ensures that its students are well-equipped to succeed in their academic pursuits and future careers.
