You must take and pass the LPUNEST if it is required for entrance to the programme you choose. You can only be admitted to LPU after that. The LPUNEST test has two chances. If for some reason you are unable to pass the exam on your first attempt, you will have a second chance to do so, but only during the admissions process.
Even though some programmes require the LPUNEST, students can still be admitted directly to those programmes based on their achievement in National Level Exams. In this scenario, students will not be required to take the LPUNEST.

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.
