Hi,
Due to the current situation i.e. COVID-19, the eligibility criteria is a bit relaxed and the admissions are being done online. LPU offers more than 250 programmes and the eligibility criteria is different for different courses. If LPUNEST is mandatory for eligibility then you have to qualify it. LPUNEST is also considered for scholarship purposes.
