    Dear Rahul, Congratulations for a good score in 12th, But the privilege of getting direct admission and the highest scholarship in B.Tech is for the students who score 90% or above in 10+2 with Maths, Physics and English as compulsory subjects. Some great points which make LPU a top choice are as follows:
    Huge diversity of students and faculty. The sheer number of people from different states and countries with highly competitive environment helps the students in getting used to work in cross cultural environment and team work, which is desired skill set in many companies. Hackathons, competitions and events keep on happening throughout

    Hi Rahul, Being an Education consultant, I anonymously did conversation with LPU officials many time over the phone. One thing I have learnt that they are very particular with the eligibility criteria. What's the matter of fact is that they will not allow your friend to get direct admission without qualifying in their exam LPU NEST if he is not having exactly 90% in 12th class. According to LPU, 90 means 90. 89.9% will not be acceptable. However according to me your friend has got very good percentage in 12th class due to any unfortunate reason he cannot be able to make 90% completely. He is intelligent enough to crack this exam effic

    Hi, LPU offers more than 250+ courses and the eligibility is different for different courses. In some courses the admission is direct and in some, you have to qualify LPU NEST and in others Interview. So, kindly tell in which course you are interested in. Thanks.
  • Rahul, if you are talking about B.Tech, then no he can't have direct admission if he has less than 90%. He has to give LPUNEST. If he has given JEE and has scored 80 or more marks in it then
    Pass with 60% aggregate he can get admission without LPUNEST. The eligibility for B.Tech ismarks in 10+2 (with Physics, Mathematics and English) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST-2017 [removed]void(0);or JEE (Main)
    Or
    In case marks scored in 10+2 are 90% or above, then LPUNEST-2017 or JEE (Main) will be exempted and candidate may apply for admission.

    Hi Rahul it all depends on the programme that your friend is opting for. If he has opted for B Tech, Hons, B.Sc. BPT MLT, B.Pharma etc. Then he will have to appear for LPU NEST. It is mandatory. However, for BBA BCA B.A. B Comm programs, LPU NEST is not mandatory. He is a brilliant student. Tell him not to get scared of LPU NEST. LPU NEST is based on the last qualification. So it will not be hard to handle. Even if it is not mandatory, he should appear for LPU NEST because he may land up with a huge scholarship. Good Luck.

    Hello, Choosing LPU for admission is one your good decision. Yes, You can get admission in LPU without LPU NEST but only in certain courses, where university does not include LPU NEST as a part of eligibility. You are suppose to fulfill the eligibility criteria, for the course. You will be glad to know that LPU has relaxed their eligibility criteria for 2020 batch due to COVID-19. LPU NEST conducted by LPU is basically an entrance and scholarship test which helps to fulfill the eligibility criteria as well as get the maximum scholarship. LPU NEST is mandatory for a few programmes which act as an entrance to get qualified for the admiss

    LPU is best for students seeking admission based on their academic performance. Lovely Professional University offers a flexible admission process, and students with high marks in their 12th standard boards, like your friend with 89.4% in CBSE, can often secure direct admission to many undergraduate programs without appearing for the LPUNEST entrance test. LPU gives weightage to board exam performance for admissions, especially for high scorers, which makes it easier for meritorious students to join without additional entrance exams. To get direct admission, your friend needs to apply online through the official LPU admission port

    Hey, yeah, your friend with 89.4% in CBSE Class 12th can totally aim for direct admission at LPU without LPUNEST, especially for B.Tech programs. LPU's super flexible—they check your board marks first and often skip the entrance if you're above the basic eligibility like 60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Math. That solid score puts your friend in a great spot for merit-based entry, plus awesome scholarships up to big amounts based on performance.​ LPU makes it easy with online apps and quick processing on their site. No need to stress over extra tests when boards are this strong—it's one reason LPU feels student-friendly a

Hi.

If you apply with JEE Main scores, CU primarily considers your JEE Main percentile / AIR for admission.

12th marks are generally secondary in this case — mostly used for eligibility criteria (like minimum 50–60% in PCM or aggregate, depending on branch).

High JEE scores can also qualify you for JEE-based scholarships at CU.

Hi.

Yes — for admission to B.Tech/B.E. at Chandigarh University (CU), there is a requirement on your 12th‑class marks (along with other eligibility conditions), even if you're using your JEE Main score. 

What's required from 12th (or equivalent) at CU

You must have passed 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board with Physics and Mathematics. 

For many B.Tech courses at CU, including those that accept JEE Main or CU's entrance (CUCET), the minimum aggregate requirement in 12th is around 50% (for general or merit‑based eligibility) as a baseline. 

Some sources show that for “full eligibility” (especially for certa

If you are appearing for +2 Exams/12th class in 2026, you may upload the qualifying marks before the deadline for BSc BEd, BA BEd and MScEd. Please note that the candidates who have not uploaded their qualifying marks will not be considered for CEE 2026 Rank Generation.

Hi.

AIIMS is primarily a medical college/university (undergraduate, postgraduate, super-speciality, etc.) + a hospital. 

Its courses begin after Class 12 — i.e. you must have completed 12th standard (10+2) to be eligible for entry into courses like MBBS, B.Sc., etc. 

The official course list of AIIMS includes medical and allied health degrees — not school-level classes (11th / 12th) as per its academic catalogue.

Thus, AIIMS itself does not run 11th and 12th standard as a school.
