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 efficiently with good score. In fact on the basis of his performance he might be able to announce his scholarship also. Try to all of this ask him to take provisional admission to confirm the seat. Online admissions are going on and for the maximum scholarship benefit ask him to proceed further as soon as possible. For more and better information ask him to visit University website or he can call them at their toll free number. All the best.

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.
