    You can get admission to the B.Sc. in Food and Dietetics programme at LPU without attempting the NEST exam. The NEST exam is generally required for some programs to qualify for scholarships, but it is not mandatory for admission itself. If you choose not to appear for the NEST exam, you can still gain admission by fulfilling the eligibility criteria based on your 10+2 marks.

    It is advisable to consider taking the NEST exam if you want to avail scholarships, but direct admission is also possible.
