Hi venkatesh, As per my information Lovely Professional University conduct their own entrance exam LPU NEST. In order to get admission in B.Tech CSE one has to qualify this entrance exam along with this the candidate must have minimum 60% aggregate percentage in 12th class. Direct admission is only e possible if any candidate is having at least 90% or more than 90% in 12th class or if the candidate has 90 percentile in JEE Mains. Otherwise over the period of years Lovely Professional University has become very strict in their admission intake eligibility criteria. # if you have 80% in CBSE that means you got 80% marks in your 12th class. Then after qualifying LPU NEST you will get very good scholarship on the basis of your 12th class. However you have the chance to get more scholarship on the basis of LPU NEST performance. # LPU offers various scholarships on various achievements in sports and cultural activities, defense scholarship is there, scholarships on bravery awards, scholarships to the merit holders etc. Recently Lovely Professional University has announced the scholarship for coronavirus survivors or to those who are being the part of frontliners in this pandemic situation "covid-19 Frontline scholarship". # online admissions are going on, for maximum scholarship benefit they are advising to take admission as soon as possible.

Every year more than 500+ companies including national and multinational companies visit LPU for placement. A few of them are Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, etc. In which they are placed.

Scholarships: LPU provides scholarships to bright students every year worth crore rupees to all the students based on their academics, extracurricular activities, and other factors.
