Honestly, all of these have their own strengths, so I wouldn't pick one blindly without looking at the course. If I had to point out one thing that makes LPU interesting right now, is it's growing focus on AI and future-ready skills. AI is becoming part of almost every field-engineering, business, d

Yes, a diploma holder can generally enter B.Tech CSE through lateral entry. SRMIST’s published engineering prospectus states that candidates with a 3-year or 2-year Diploma in Engineering/Technology and at least 60% marks are eligible for B.Tech lateral entry. If the diploma is completed in December
