Hi there, Yes, you can definitely pursue a B.Tech from LPU after completing a Diploma in engineering. LPU offers a Lateral Entry option for Diploma holders, allowing them to directly join the second year (3rd semester) of the B.Tech program. This is a great opportunity for students who have completed a Diploma in engineering and wish to further their studies to earn a full-fledged B.Tech degree.The eligibility criteria for lateral entry into B.Tech after a Diploma typically include:Diploma Qualification: You should have completed a 3-year Diploma in a relevant engineering discipline from a recognised institution with at least 60% marks.LPUNEST: While lateral entry students are not required to take the full entrance exam, LPU may conduct its own entrance test for lateral entry admissions (usually through LPUNEST). However, students with a good Diploma score may also be eligible for direct admission, depending on their performance in the LPUNEST or other relevant criteria.Relevant Discipline: The Diploma must be in a stream related to the B.Tech programme you're applying for. For instance, if you're pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science, you should have a Diploma in a related stream like Computer Engineering or Information Technology.Minimum Marks: A minimum of 60% aggregate marks in your Diploma is generally required, though this may vary slightly based on the program.LPU also offers various scholarships based on LPUNEST scores and academic merit, so achieving a good score in the entrance test could open doors for financial assistance as well.Best wishes!

Hi there,No, LPU does not offer lateral entry admission for BBA. The BBA program at LPU is a three-year undergraduate course, and students must take admission in the first year based on their 12th-grade marks or LPUNEST scores. Lateral entry is typically available for technical courses like B.Tech and a few diploma-based programs, but not for BBA.If you have completed a diploma or another equivalent qualification, you will still need to start from the first year for BBA. However, LPU does offer credit transfer options in some cases, which means if you have studied similar subjects in another recognized institution, you can apply for exemptions in specific subjects, subject to university approval.For admission, you can apply online through LPU's portal and check for any scholarship opportunities based on your academic performance. If you are looking for a flexible option, LPU also offers distance and online BBA programs, which might be suitable if you have prior education in a related field.Best wishes!

Hi there, Yes, you can still get admission to LPU even if you do not qualify for LPUNEST. The university offers alternative ways to secure admission based on your academic performance. If you have a high percentage in your 12th board exams, LPU may grant you direct admission without requiring LPUNEST. The minimum eligibility criteria vary depending on the course, but for most programs like B.Sc. Agriculture, you need at least 50% in 10+2 with the required subjects.Another option is applying through other national-level entrance exams (if applicable to your course). For example, some programs accept JEE, NEET, or other equivalent scores instead of LPUNEST. Additionally, you can wait for subsequent rounds of LPUNEST, as the university conducts multiple phases, giving students more chances to qualify.If you don't qualify for LPUNEST but meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply directly through LPU's online admission portal, submit the required documents, and proceed with counseling and fee payment. However, scholarships are mostly linked to LPUNEST scores, so you might miss out on financial benefits if you don't attempt or qualify for the test.Best wishes!
