Is it a right decision to join LPU? I have not qualified JEE Mains.

Question

KRITESH GUPTA · Answer

Hi, The right decision depends upon your priorities, if you want to drop and feel that you can work for one more year and get a better college then go for it. No one can ever say package and all as it depends upon scenario when you are going to pass out. So take your call wisely and don't get affected by your friend's package. Instead think upon how you can improve each moment.

Mir Aaliya · Answer

Hi dear, I wonder why would it be a wrong decision to join LPU and pursue a degree from there. LPU offers more than 200 courses and have different eligibility criteria. For most of the courses, one needs to qualify LPU NEST to get admission. Well for engineering courses, either you have to be a JEE-Mains qualified or you need to compulsorily qualify LPU NEST to meet the eligibility criteria. There is no other way to get admission in engineering courses. Despite all, joining LPU is one of the best decisions I have made till date. LPU is one of the leading institutes nowadays in India, the exposure one gets, the infrastructure LPU has, the diversity to witness and most important the quality education one gets from LPU is all one can expect from an institute like LPU. In short, joining LPU is the right decision. Hope this helps.
