Since you have completed a diploma in Mechanical Engineering, you can take admission in either BTech Mechanical Engineering or BTech Automobile Engineering. After taking a look at the details of each of the programs, you can choose whichever aligns more with your interest. I have listed the pros for both branches below. Pros of LPU BTech Mechanical Engineering: International Credit Transfer Option, i.e. start your degree at LPU and finish it abroad at a foreign university. International ties with top foreign universities like Nottingham UK, Nantes University, NAU, etc. Option of selecting automobile engineering as an elective course. Pros of LPU BTech Automobile Engineering: International Credit Transfer Option, i.e. start your degree at LPU and finish it abroad at a foreign university. International ties with the University of Huddersfield, UK.

I scored 68% in the board exams. Can I get admission in BTech Automobile Engineering course at LPU?

Yes, you can get admission to BTech automobile engineering course at LPU. As per LPU eligibility criteria for BTech automobile engineering course, you need to score at least 60% marks in 10+2. I would recommend taking the LPUNEST exam as you have below 70% in your board exams. You can prepare for the exam and score high marks which will help you to get a scholarship. LPU has the best options for students who were not able to perform in their board examinations. So, take this opportunity and sit for the LPUNEST exam.

Inside info of every college.

Tuition fee are very high if you are not getting any scholarships. It may costs around 1.2 lakhs per semester of any B.Tech degree. You can get scholarship by your 12th standard marks, JEE Main and LPU Nest exam. Maximum 50% scholarship can get.

Automobile Engineering First Year Review @ LPU

Likes

The course structure and Instruction plan is well defined and planned out which provides enough time for syllabus coverage along with revision classes.
The backlog handling system is realy good here, as you will be given many opportunities to clear your backlogs through one time reappear exams for a nominal fee that also gets refunded upon passing the examination.

Dislikes

The nature of the course is such that it attracts fewer and lesser lucrative offers in comparison to other courses such as B.Tech. in computer science.

The standard fees for all B.Tech. programmes is 1,40,000 per semester with no increase with an additional exam fee of 4500 to be paid as exam fees every semester. It is very easy to get a scholarship here and almost all students are on a scholarship of some percent. The scholarship is awarded based on LPUNest (LPU's entrance exam), JEE, or CUET percentiles and also based on your board's percentage. The amount varies based on the time of admission as well and if you take admission early, you're eligible for more scholarships. Apart from these tuition fees, there are no other fees you have to pay for tuition. Overall, this is a very affordable option for Automobile engineering.

Prahshnt's Review On Lovely Professional University - [LPU], Jalandhar

The general fee structure during 2017 was 90k per semester In 2018 it went to 100k per semester In 2019 110k per semester. I don't know about 2020 cause of covid Prefer this college if you get a scholarship of 50 percent and more. They take admission based on three categories lpunest, jee, 12 marks. Show them the best you scored. Based on that they will give you the scholarship. At the start, they will be giving the complete fee structure for 4 years batch. And there will be no hike Hostel fees are high - starting from 40k per year to 120k a year. Mess fees- starting 16k per semester. The scholarship will be given based on your performance in lpu nest, 12 marks, or jee marks for financial assistance, they do provide loans for the students by the bank. There are no such campus jobs.

Choose the best, get the best.

We all know that each private college has high fees as per the courses but as compare to the fee structure of other colleges LPU it is affordable and although the best thing is the entrance exam which we give at the time of admission is also applicable for your scholarship up to 50-60% which helps you to study in the fewer fees with your choice of course, the higher you score more will be the scholarship and there is a good thing to know for the applicant's that whose family member like Father or mother are in any defence or army officers they will get the benefit of it through the scholarship according to college terms and condition which you will get to know on the admission office and University website and I also got the 40% scholarship which makes and affordable price for my BTech and it is way better than other private colleges.

A journey worth sharing

The fees structure for the courses are feasible. The management provides many scholarships for the students. They also provide scholarships based on their merit in their intermediate basis. In this way the scholarship will be in lpu.
