Food Technology

The university offers a great course with an outstanding curriculum on food chemistry, microbiology, safety, quality control, and processing, making Food Technology a great option to study at LPU. The students benefit from well-equipped laboratories, pilot plants available for training, and internships with both industry giants like Nestlé and Amul. There is also active research that students can take part in. Additionally, LPU's placement cell helps students secure jobs in product development, quality assurance, and food safety management. Graduates are offered further studies and entrepreneurship in the food industry, backed by LPU's contacts in industry and educational resources.

The eligibility criteria for pursuing a B.Tech in Food Technology at Lovely Professional University (LPU) are designed to ensure that students have a strong foundation in science and mathematics, which are essential for understanding the principles of food processing, preservation, and safety. To apply, candidates must have successfully completed their 10+2 or equivalent examination with a minimum aggregate of 60% marks. They are required to have studied Physics, Chemistry, and English as compulsory subjects, along with Mathematics, Biology, or Biotechnology as an optional subject. This combination provides the necessary background in both physical and biological sciences to handle the interdisciplinary curriculum of food technology, which includes food chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and processing techniques. Admission to the program is primarily through the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test); however, students who score exceptionally well, typically above 90% in their 10+2 examination, may be exempted from the entrance test and can proceed directly to the counseling process. For lateral entry into the program, candidates who have completed a three-year diploma in engineering, a two-year diploma after 10+2 in a non-medical stream, or a B.Sc. in a related discipline with at least 60% marks are also eligible. These criteria ensure that all students admitted possess the academic preparation necessary to succeed in the B.Tech Food Technology program and excel in their future careers.
