No, Class 11 and 12 marks alone are not enough. If you want to take admission to B.Tech at LPU, you need to meet the eligibility criteria of LPU.
- 60% or more marks in Class 12 (with the required subjects like Physics and Mathematics).
- An entrance exam score from LPUNEST, JEE Main, or CUET.
If you have not appeared for JEE Main or CUET, then you must take LPUNEST to be eligible for admission.
In simple words:
12th marks + an entrance exam (LPUNEST/JEE Main/CUET) = B.Tech admission at LPU.
