    Dear Aspirant, Yes, you can become an engineer after the completion of the B.Tech programme. The eligibility for the B.Tech programme varies from institute to institute. For example, some universities provide admission with 50% or 60% minimum in the 12th class. Being an alumnus of LPU I would like to tell you that you should have a minimum of 60% marks in the 12th class with mandatory subjects English Math, and Physics. Moreover, you need to qualify for the LPU NEST exam conducted by LPU. If you have not studied English as a subject, then you must have to provide proof of medium of instruction in English from your school or co

    Hi there, you scored well.

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.

Class 12 marks are important for fulfilling the admission criteria and tie breaking criteria (if any) during admissions. Admission to Central Universities are conducted through CUET scores, however, candidates must fulfil the minimum marks requirement for admissions.
