Firstly, you need to decide between Diploma and B.Tech and LPU provides both. Therefore, you can go for Diploma initially and then take B.Tech lateral entry in LPU as it has very good placements in engineering.

Hi Sandeep,
As you have done 12th in non-medical and more than 50%, you can go for Diploma CSE lateral Entry and for B.Tech CSE lateral entry after that. For detailed information, contact LPU. -
I am not aware about the cutoff in KITM. But, my personal suggestion for you is, you should go for B.Tech. Don't waste your 2 years effort. And, doing B.Tech from average college is better than doing Diploma from Good College. Rest is your choice.

I think your marks are quite low, but then also you should contact the respective dept. For clear and accurate details. -
You can take admission in Diploma CSE in LPU on the basis of 10th, and then can get B.Tech lateral entry after completion of the Diploma. You can check if KITM is taking admission in B.Tech with 54%
