Tirupati College of Engineering, Lucknow, is an AICTE-approved institution offering diploma courses in various streams of engineering. The college works through a stepwise admission system, which mainly includes the Uttar Pradesh Combined Entrance Examination (JEECUP), a state-level entrance examination conducted by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

The admission cycle normally starts with the conduct of JEECUP, which is followed by the counselling procedure that leads to seat allocation. The college, owing to its direct admission against late commutations of seats, gives an opportunity to applicants who may have missed the entrance examination or are seeking admission later in the cycle.
