    If just think of getting education further, go ahead. There is no age limit in engineering programmes. Thus, you can take admission in LPU in B.Tech ME (Lateral Entry). You just need 60% percent in diploma and thats it, you can enroll yourself. No entrance exam is mandatory to qualify for B.Tech (LE).
    Admissions are already open in LPU. You can visit their website www.lpu.in or you can call them at their toll free number. There academic executives will guide you further.

    There is no age limit for taking admission in B.Tech mechanical through lateral entry for a diploma holder, However, the candidate has to fulfill the eligibility criteria for admission to B.Tech. Every year,more than 30,000 students graduate from LPU across all disciplines. Accredited by most technical bodies such as UGC, NCTE, PCI, IAP, COA, BCI, and AIU, LPU has covered massive ground since being founded back in 2005.
