Colleges in Punjab

1. Check Eligibility
For B.Tech/BE:
• You need Class 12 (10+2) with Physics, Mathematics and one of Chemistry/Biology/Biotech/Technical Vocational. General candidates usually need 60% or more (55% for SC/ST) in these subjects.

2. Take the Entrance Exam
• JEE Main is the primary route. Most seats (especially in top branches like CSE/ECE) are filled based on JEE Main rank.

• Some seats may also be filled based on Class 12 marks (board merit), but for many popular branches only JEE Main counts now.

3. Apply Online
• Go to the official TIET admissions portal and fill the application form for the year you're applying (UG 2026-27).
• Upload your details, 10+2 marks, JEE Main score, and pay the application fee.

4. Counselling and Seat Allotment
• After applications, the institute conducts counselling rounds where seats are allotted based on merit (JEE rank or board marks where applicable).
• You'll need to confirm your seat by paying fees and completing document verification once you're offered a seat.

5. Alternative Points
• For PG courses like M.Tech, a valid GATE score is usually preferred.

At Lovely Professional University (LPU), the B.Tech (Lateral Entry – LE) course fee varies significantly depending on the specialisation and specific fee components. As per recent data, the total tuition fee for B.Tech (LE) generally ranges between ₹9.60 Lacs and ₹13.60 lakh for the full 3-year duration. This is calculated based on the semester-wise fee, which can differ by branch—for example, around ₹1.40 Lacs per semester for many streams, and up to around ₹1.70 Lacs per semester for specialisations like Robotics & Automation or ECE-IoT. 

For specific branches like Information Technology or Computer Science & Engineering (Lateral Entry), sources estimate the full course tuition to be around ₹9.6 Lacs to ₹9.9 lakh, excluding additional charges. 

What's included and excluded:

• These totals usually cover academic tuition only.

• Additional charges such as hostel fees, mess, medical insurance, exam fees, registration fees, and security deposits are not always included in the base tuition totals and can raise overall costs significantly. 

Scholarships & reductions: LPU offers scholarships based on LPUNEST performance or academic merit, which can lower the effective fee. Always check the the latest official fee schedule at admission time, as fees may change year to year.

Lovely Professional University (LPU) uses a grading system based on CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) to evaluate student performance. In this system, marks obtained in each subject are converted into letter grades, and each letter corresponds to a grade point on a 10-point scale. The most common grades and their points are: O = 10 (Outstanding), A+ = 9, A = 8, B+ = 7, B = 6, C = 5, D = 4. Grades like E, F, or G typically mean fail, backlog, or re-appear, and carry zero grade points. 

Percentage equivalents often align approximately with these letters (for example, O roughly corresponds to 90 % and above, A+ ~ 80–89 %, A ~ 70–79 %, B+ ~ 60–69 %, B ~ 50–59 %, and C/D ~ 40–49 %, although exact distribution can vary with relative grading). 

To calculate CGPA, you multiply each subject's grade point by its credit value, add these products, and divide by the total credits. A higher CGPA means better overall performance. Many programs require a minimum CGPA (often around 5.0) to pass or graduate, and converting CGPA to percentage for external purposes is sometimes done by multiplying CGPA by 10.
