LPU is an excellent B.Tech choice, offering modern infrastructure and industry-focused curricula. While JEE Main isn't mandatory, LPU requires its own entrance exam, LPUNEST. Notably, a strong JEE score can secure direct admission and lucrative scholarships, making it a flexible and rewarding option for aspiring engineers.
