I had scored 158 in JEE Mains paper 2 and 63% in 12th. Will I get admission in LPU?

Question

Sampreet Kaur · Answer

A JEE Main Paper‑2 score of 158 along with 63% in Class 12 does not clearly fall into the typical “safe‑zone” for most competitive architecture or engineering streams, but it can still be workable depending on the exact course and category. For many programmes, Lovely Professional University considers a combination of 12th marks, entrance score, and sometimes LPUNEST, with Class 12 usually needing at least 50–60% and a valid national test or university test. Chances will depend more on the specific branch, category quota, and how many students have better ranks above; for a clearer picture, the candidate's exact scorecard and category should be matched with the latest LPU 2026 admission guidelines on the official website.

(with Mathematics) + NATA 2020 / JEE Main (Paper II) or State Level Test (as/ if allowed by statutory body for 2020-21)" So, considering the eligibility, you are eligible to take admission but scholarship is doubtful on this percentage, so you can plan to appear in LPUNEST.
