Am I making the right choice choosing LPU for BTech in AI/ML? Feeling really confused.

Hey everyone, I really need some honest advice.

Here’s my situation:

During my 12th boards in March, I randomly filled out the LPUNEST form after seeing an ad. I honestly did it just for fun and ended up getting selected. Since I was selected, my father paid ₹10,000 to book my admission. A few weeks later, they asked us to pay another ₹10,000 to book hostel and mess, which we also paid.

Now they have given us a deadline of 10th May to pay the first academic fee — but I haven’t even received my 12th results yet, and I’m not fully sure if I want to take admission there.

Some background about me:

  • I scored 89.60% in 10th.
  • My father is in the Army.
  • Based on this, they gave me a 30% + 20% scholarship.
  • I took PCM in 12th but honestly didn’t study well. I kind of wasted my 2 years (I was in an integrated program).
  • I want to pursue BTech in AI & Machine Learning, which LPU has allotted me a seat in .

The thing is… I live in Pune, which is already an IT hub. I’ve applied at MIT-WPU and Symbiosis too, but I’m not very confident about getting my desired branch in a “better” university because I don’t think my 12th marks will be great.

Now I’m stuck thinking:

  • Is LPU worth it for BTech in AI/ML?
  • Should I wait for my results and explore options in Pune?
  • Does college matter that much in AI/ML, or is it more about skills?

I genuinely just want to know if I’m making a smart decision or an emotional one.

Would really appreciate honest advice from seniors or anyone studying at LPU or in AI/ML.

Thanks in advance 🙏

In march during my boards i saw a Ad for LPU and filled form for their LPUNEST for fun and actually got selected . Since i was already selected my father paid Rs.10000 to book my admission and later after some weeks they asked us to book hostel , mess and etc. by paying another min amount of Rs.10000 which i paid too . Now they have a deadline of 10th May to pay their 1st Academic fees but i havent even gotten my 12th result yet and still not sure if i wanna take admission . My father is in Army and I also scored a decent 89.60% in my 10th so they gave me a scholarship of 30% + 20% but i dont even know if i am making the right choice . I took PCM in my 12th but didnt study well and kinda wasted my 2 years in my Academy ( I was a integrated student ) . After my 12th I wanted to take Btech in AI and Machine learning which LPU alloted me a seat for but Is LPU worth it ?? I literally live in Pune which is an IT hub in itself but i dont think i will get my desired course from a Good University at Pune after seeing my marks ( I did apply for MIT-WPU and Symbiosis ) . I just wanna know am i making the right choice ??
