Important notes:
- DigitalCoach tracks a total of 21 colleges in Lucknow accepting CUET scores across all programmes (not exclusively B.Tech) — the list above focuses specifically on engineering/B.Tech pathways with sourced confirmation.
- Most Lucknow engineering colleges (AKTU-affiliated private colleges especially) primarily admit via JEE Main/UPTAC or their own entrance tests, with CUET playing a larger role in Lateral Entry admissions or select programmes rather than the main B.Tech intake.
- CUET participation and cutoffs change each admission cycle — always verify directly on the official CUET portal (cuet.nta.nic.in) and the specific college’s admission page before applying.
