Does only 12 % matters of we have to give extra test for admission in bfech with cs branch??

Question

Ankita Sharma · Answer

Not just your 12th marks matter. For B.Tech CSE, most universities (including Lovely Professional University) also consider an entrance test like LPUNEST or similar. So even if your percentage is decent, the test can help you improve your chances and even get scholarships. Talking about B.Tech (CSE AI and System Design) with Global Tech Immersion, it's not a basic CSE course. You'll learn AI, machine learning, and how real apps/systems are built. Plus, the global immersion part gives you some international exposure, which is honestly a big advantage. From what I've seen, LPU focuses more on practical stuff coding, projects, hackathons so it's not just theory.

Twelve‑th percentage is important, but for BTech in Computer Science many universities also look at an extra test score, including LPU. For LPU's BTech CS, a minimum 60% in 12th with PCM and qualifying LPUNEST (or JEE Main) are both counted. The entrance test helps assess aptitude beyond board marks and is linked to merit‑based selection and scholarship. So class 12 performance is one part; the extra test actually strengthens the overall profile for admission.

Vihaan Singh · Answer

From a student's perspective, Class 12 marks are important, but they are not the only thing that matters for BTech CSE admission in LPU. You generally need around 60% in 12th with PCM to be eligible, so that's the basic requirement. Along with that, you usually have to give LPUNEST, which is LPU's own entrance test, mainly for admission confirmation and scholarships. The good part is that JEE score can also be considered, so if you have that, it can be helpful. What I've seen is that the entrance test is not very tough, and it actually gives you a chance to improve your chances or get a scholarship. So overall, 12th marks matter, but giving the entrance test is also an important part of the process.

At Lovely Professional University, 12th marks do matter for admission in BTech CSE. Extra tests like LPUNEST or JEE are not compulsory, but they matter if you want better scholarship or benefits.

Shilakha · Answer

For B.Tech CSE, your 12th marks are important, but they are not the only thing that counts. At Lovely Professional University, you usually need to meet the 12th (PCM) requirements and take the LPUNEST or another accepted test. LPUNEST can also help you qualify for scholarships. Sometimes, if you have very high 12th marks, you might not need to take the test, but most students will need to complete an entrance exam. In the B.Tech (CSE – AI & System Design) with Global Tech Immersion program, you will gain international experience, learn from an industry-focused curriculum, use advanced AI labs, and work on real-world projects. This program stands out because it emphasizes global learning, hands-on skills, and helps you build a strong profile for placements.

For admission into the B.Tech CSE program at Lovely Professional University, your 12th marks are important but they are not the only factor. Students generally need to meet the minimum eligibility criteria in subjects like Physics, Mathematics, and English. Along with this, many students also appear for LPUNEST, which is the university's entrance test used for both admission consideration and scholarships. However, in some cases students may still get admission based on their 12th board performance if they meet the required criteria, but taking LPUNEST can be beneficial because it can improve admission chances and help secure scholarships. Many students choose to take the test for this reason, especially for competitive branches like CSE.

For B.Tech(CSE) the eligibility includes 60% in 10+2 with (English , Physics & Mathematics ) + LPUNEST. For B.Tech CSE(Hons) 70% in 10+2 with (English , Physics & Mathematics )+ LPUNEST.

The test is an objective test and the structure of the test depends upon the course that you are intending to take admission. LPUNEST exam time also depends upon the course that you wish to take admission. For B.Tech courses even the previous year sample test can be downloaded from the LPU website. LPU has a good placement record for CSE students. 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. The maximum package availed for CSE is 42 lacs. per annum by Microsoft. LPU has a very good placement and achieved awards for employability also. The main thing for placement that I liked there is that LPU provides placement classes to the students from the first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their final year of the program.

Dear Prachi, At LPU, to get admission to the BTech in the CSE programme, apart from the 12th class marks, you need to qualify for the LPUNEST exam or you should have a minimum of 85 percentile in JEE Mains exam.

Good Placement: LPU has a good placement record for CSE students. 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. The maximum package availed for CSE is 42 lacs. per annum by Microsoft.

The main thing for placement that I liked there is that LPU provides placement classes to the students from the first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their final year of the program. 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. Tie-ups: B.Tech in CSE has tie-ups with industries that help students to explore themselves more in their field such as IBM, Intel, Xebia, Upgrad, etc. Specializations: CSE students get many specializations while studying CSE to enhance their knowledge according to their interests such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Data Science, etc. Apart from this, many opportunities and scholarships are there in LPU while studying for bright students in academics and extracurricular activities.

Being Alumni of LPU, I would like to answer this question. At LPU, Admission in any programme depends on qualifying the Eligibility criteria for that programme. So, as per the official website of LPU, the Eligibility Criteria (Qualifying Exam) is defined as - Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics Mathematics and English or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST. LPUNEST is National Entrance and Scholarship Test for admission to various programmes in Lovely Professional University. This test forms the basis of Eligibility and Scholarship for most of the programmes and for some of the programmes test is applicable only for scholarship. LPU NEST serves both the purposes. Also, if you have qualified LPU NEST for Eligibility purpose, you can also improve your score for Scholarship purpose as well. For qualifying the LPU NEST for Eligibility purpose, around 40% marks are required but for Scholarship purpose, cut-offs are required to be qualified for LPU NEST. So, qualifying the same, you can proceed for Admissions. Admissions in LPU have started for most of the programmes. LPU is currently inviting applications for B.Tech in various streams, so you can apply from their website. In order to apply for the Exam, you can refer the following steps : 1 Register yourself on the portal 2. Fill the details 3. Choose the programme 4. Apply for LPUNEST 5. Make the payment for LPUNEST and Book the slot for the Exam i.e date and time for the exam as per your availability. 6. Appear and Qualify the LPUNEST and wait for Result 7.
