    Dear reader,

    Taking admissions at LPU is a great choice.

    Yes, there are several admissions pathways available at LPU.  Depending on the programme you want to enroll in, you can get in with a legitimate score from other national entrance tests like JEE Main, CUET, NEET, or CAT.  This offers your application a fantastic alternate path.

    For more information kindly visit their concerned website.

    I hope this information helps.

    Yes, you can still get admission in Lovely Professional University (LPU) even if you do not qualify for the LPU-NEST. While LPU-NEST is the primary pathway for admission and scholarships, the university also provides alternative routes for students who may not clear it.

    For many programs, LPU accepts direct admission on the basis of qualifying exam marks (Class 12th scores for undergraduate programs and graduation marks for postgraduate programs). If you have secured the minimum required percentage in your previous academic qualification, you can apply directly for admission without needing to clear LPU-NEST. In some courses, LPU also c

    Hi there,

    Yes, you can still get admission to LPU even if you do not qualify for LPUNEST. The university offers alternative ways to secure admission based on your academic performance. If you have a high percentage in your 12th board exams, LPU may grant you direct admission without requiring LPUNEST. The minimum eligibility criteria vary depending on the course, but for most programs like B.Sc. Agriculture, you need at least 50% in 10+2 with the required subjects.

    Another option is applying through other national-level entrance exams (if applicable to your course). For example, some programs accept JEE, NEET, or other equivalent scores

     LPU also provides direct admission on the basis of merit in your previous qualifications like 10+2 or graduation marks if the candidates meet the eligibility criteria for the course. For courses like B.Tech, MBA, M.Sc Agriculture, and so on, LPUNEST is preferred, although scores from recognised national entrances like JEE Main (for engineering) or CAT/MAT (for MBA) can also be used. Admissions should be done online via the LPU official portal with the submission of your academic documents and application fee. Direct admission without LPUNEST may also reduce possibilities for scholarship offerings since LPUNEST scores are generall

    Hi Siddhant, LPU NEST is mandatory for certain programs, not for all. You can opt for the programs that does not require qualifying LPU NEST as eligibility. LPU NEST is mandatory only for MBA programs, Hons programs and B Tech programs. However, you need to fulfill eligibility conditions for the programs that you are seeking admission in.

Dear, Yes, if you miss the first phase of LPU NEST, you can still apply for the next phase. Lovely Professional University conducts LPU NEST in multiple phases each year to give students several chances to appear for the exam and qualify for admission or scholarships. You simply need to check the updated schedule on the official LPU website and complete the registration process for the upcoming phase.

Dear, To manage time effectively during the LPU NEST exam, start by carefully reading all the instructions and understanding the question pattern before you begin. Divide your total exam time based on the number of questions—allocate a few minutes to each and avoid spending too long on any single question.

Begin with the sections or questions you find the easiest to build confidence and secure quick marks, then move on to more challenging ones. Keep track of time using the on-screen timer and make sure to leave a few minutes at the end to review your answers. Practice mock tests regularly before the exam to improve your speed and accu
