Engineering Entrance Exam

Hey, with 65% in 10+2 and 71 percentile in JEE Mains, you meet LPU's basic eligibility for B.Tech—they need at least 60% aggregate in Physics, Math, and English from 12th. Your score is above that, so you're good there, and JEE helps a lot since LPU accepts it alongside LPUNEST for admission.​
Though some spots want 80+ percentile for top scholarships, your 71 is solid enough to qualify after a quick LPUNEST if needed—LPU makes it flexible for students like us aiming for engineering. No direct entry without test, but apply soon on their site; they've got awesome placements and modern labs that make studying fun and job-ready.​
Other unis have stricter cutoffs sometimes, but LPU stands out by focusing on overall potential, not just numbers. Go for it—you've got a real shot! Check lpu.in for 2025 updates.

Hi.

LPU is best for students seeking admission even if they have moderate board exam scores. Lovely Professional University has a student-friendly and flexible admission policy that allows students with 50% or more in their qualifying examinations to apply for most undergraduate courses. If you have secured 55% in your board exams, you are eligible to apply for programs like B.Sc, B.Com, BBA, BA, and engineering streams depending on the specific course requirements. The university aims to provide quality education to a wide range of students, including those from varied academic backgrounds. Admission to LPU is generally straightforward. You can fill out the online application form on the university portal and submit required documents such as your marksheet, ID proof, and photographs. Depending on the program, you may need to appear for the LPUNEST entrance test, though many courses also consider your board marks for eligibility. Once your application is reviewed and you meet the eligibility criteria, LPU issues a provisional offer letter. After paying the initial admission fee and completing document verification, your seat is confirmed. Additionally, LPU provides scholarships for meritorious students, sports achievers, and even for those with good academic records but moderate scores, making it financially accessible. The university emphasizes holistic development through modern infrastructure, experienced faculty, hands-on training, and exposure to industry-relevant practices. Therefore, securing 55% in your board exams does not hinder your chance to join LPU and benefit from its quality education, excellent placements, and vibrant campus life.

Hi.

Students who have previously attempted JEE Main or JEE Advanced can generally apply again, provided they meet the eligibility criteria for the current year. Here's a clear, step-by-step breakdown:

Age limit:

Candidates must have been born on or after October 1, 1998 (for general category; relaxations exist for reserved categories).

Number of attempts:

A candidate can attempt JEE Main up to 3 consecutive years.

Each year, there are usually two sessions (January and April/April & May, depending on the year), and you can appear in both sessions, but it counts as one attempt for eligibility purposes.

Educational qualification:

Candidate must have passed 12th (or equivalent) exam in the last two years or appearing in the current year.

Important: Previous attempts do not disqualify you unless you exceed the 3-year or 6-session limit.

You must have qualified JEE Main in the current year to appear for JEE Advanced.

Number of attempts:

A candidate can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.

Age limit:

Must meet the age criteria specified for the year (usually similar to JEE Main rules).

Educational qualification:

Must have passed 12th in the previous year or current year.

No — VIT-AP does not admit or offer free seat under EAPCET counselling and you cannot admit to VIT-AP without VITEEE (or management quota).
The clear explanation is described below:

 1. Is VIT-AP EAMCET/ EAPCET rankable?
No.
VIT-AP does not engage in Andhra Pradesh EAPCET counselling.
They do not believe in EAMCET ranks to B.Tech admissions.

The admissions of VIT-AP are largely by way of:

VITEEE (compulsory in merit seats of B.Tech)

Direct/Management quota (increased fee)

Scholarships depend on the VITEEE ranking / board marks (unlimited)

Your EAPCET rank is therefore not accepted to be admitted to VIT-AP.

 2. Is it possible to secure a free/no fee seat in VIT-AP via EAPCET?

No. There are no free seats / scholarship seats on EAPCET rank.

Scholarships are usually provided on the basis of:

Top VITEEE ranks (up to 50k–70k)

State/CBSE toppers (under GV School Scholarship)

VIT-AP does not offer you the slightest advantage based on your EAPCET rank (50006000).

 3. Do you qualify to be enrolled in VIT-AP without writing VITEEE?

Without VITEEE only management quota seats can be done but:

The charges are significantly more expensive ( 2.5 3.5 lakh/year or so, depending on branch).

No scholarship in most cases.

Then, to get a merit seat, VITEEE is mandatory.
