How LIET Admission Works
Your seat depends on several things at once.
Eligibility: Class 12 PCM marks for B.Tech, diploma or B.Sc. marks for lateral entry, and graduation marks for MCA and M.Tech.
Entrance score: JEE Main rank for UPTAC counselling, CUET for BCA and MCA, and GATE or CUET-PG for M.Tech where needed.
Counselling round and category: closing ranks change from round to round and vary by category and quota.
Direct admission: LIET's own test or personal interview, within AKTU and AICTE rules.
Seat availability: branch-wise intake decides how many seats remain.
Meeting the minimum doesn't guarantee a seat in a particular branch.

Step 1: Registering and Applying
Start online.
- Read the current Admissions 2026-27 notice on the LIET website.
- Confirm eligibility, the branch, the selection route and the total fee.
- Register on the LIET admissions portal and fill the application or enquiry form.
- For B.Tech counselling, register on UPTAC as well and add LIET (code 153) to your choices.
- Enter your marks and scores exactly as on your certificates, and upload documents.
- Save your application number and screenshots.
Documents Required for LIET Admission

Step 3: Reporting and Confirming Your Seat
With a UPTAC seat, report to LIET before the date on the letter, carrying the AKTU allotment letter, original documents and two self-attested photocopy sets. Direct-admission students report with their academic documents, a passport-size photo and Aadhaar. Go through the fee schedule, refund rules and scholarship conditions, pay through the official channel, and then complete document verification and enrolment.
