LPU-NEST is National Entrance and Scholarship Test for admission to various programmes in Lovely Professional University. This test forms the basis of eligibility for some of the programmes and for a scholarship for most of the programmes. Though LPU-NEST is not mandatory for all courses but it will be better if you are going for it. There are a lot of benefits of appearing LPU-NEST including attractive scholarship after performing well in this test. I would advise you to prepare and apply LPU-NEST. Your hard work will never go in vain. As per my information if you have scored more than or equal to 90% in your previous qualification then you don't need to give LPU-NEST. But in case if you have less than 90% then you should give the test. The cut-off of LPU-NEST is 30% only but if you want scholarship then you have to score well in LPU-NEST. For taking admission if you score 30% in LPU-NEST you can take admission easily.

Though, other relevant competitive exam marks are also accepted in alternate to that. Moreover, LPU-NEST is also for those who want to change their stream for higher studies.
