yes, LPU does accept JEE Main scores for B.Tech admission — and it comes with scholarship benefits which most people don't know about.

here's how it works:

you can apply to LPU directly using your JEE Main score (no need to appear for LPUNEST, LPU's own entrance test)
the higher your JEE Main rank, the bigger the scholarship you can get on fees
LPU has a scholarship slab system: e.g., JEE Main rank under 10,000 = significant fee waiver, rank 10k-50k = moderate scholarship

the thing most people miss — if you're applying to LPU using JEE Main, don't skip giving LPUNEST too. LPUNEST scholarships can sometimes stack or provide better deals depending on your score. give both and see which gives better scholarship before committing.

also worth knowing: LPU has a large international campus, decent placements for CSE (~6-8 LPA avg), and a strong entrepreneurship culture. it's a reasonable option if you have a mid-range JEE score and want a private university with good infrastructure. fees before scholarship are on the higher side (~Rs.1.5-2L/semester) so make sure you've locked in the scholarship in writing before paying anything.

Btech from LPU (2024 - present)

Yes, you can get admission into LPU with your JEE Main score. For BTech courses LPU grants admission through entrance exams only. Before filling an application form you must know the Eligibility requirements for B.Tech. For this course, you need to complete 10+2 with a minimum aggregate of 60% in Science stream from a recognized Board.

LPU grants admission into B.Tech courses through JEE Main as well as LPUNEST score. If you have a very good score in JEE Main, you will directly get admission into LPU. LPU also conducts its own entrance exam by the name of LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Eligibility and Scholarship Test). Candidates who qualify LPUNEST are given preference.

LPU conducts admission in 2 phases. For 1st phase, candidates are shortlisted based on LPUNEST and JEE Main (very good marks) scores. For the 2nd phase, candidates with scores from entrance exams other than LPUNEST (including JEE Main) are considered.

Suppose you have scored 80 percentile in JEE Main and more than 75% aggregate in 10+2 in Maths, Physics & Chemistry, then you don't need to take LPUNEST. You will be directly shortlisted for Special Counseling and based on your rank, seat will be allotted to you.

Through JEE Main, you may get scholarship benefits. But according to me, you should take LPUNEST as it offers scholarships and is very easy compared to JEE Main. It does not even have negative marking.
