Dear Chaneli ,LPU is best for M.Tech, and the spot admission process is simple. LPU generally does not charge any special spot admission fee.

The exact fee depends on your M.Tech specialization and the scholarship you receive through LPUNEST or your qualifying marks. Spot admission does not increase the fee; it simply allows you to take admission if seats are still available.

Go to the ‘Application Form Correction’ section where you initially uploaded the documents. There, you can delete or replace the previously uploaded document with the correct one by following the on-screen instructions to re-upload the accurate birth date proof. …
