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.

On inquiring, I came to know that in order to take admission in any programme you have to be eligible. The eligibility is "60% in 10+2 with English,Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics ( and also 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics) + NATA 2020 / JEE Main (Paper II) or State Level Test (as/ if allowed by statutory body for 2020-21) OR 60% with Diploma (any stream) (3 years) recognized by Central/ State Govt. (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. Remotely Proctored Online LPUNEST from home will be conducted which will only be conducted for scholarship only. I also came to know that LPU offers scholarship to provide financial assistance to the students: 1.On the basis of marks in previous class 2.LPU conducts Lovely professional university national entrance and scholarship test (LPUNEST) on the basis of which student can enhance their scholarship 3.Some national level tests like JEE mains, NATA, NEET, UCEED, CAT, XAT, MAT , CMAT, NMAT, GPAT, GATE etc. 4.Performance on the basis of sports, cultural or co-curricular activities. 5.Board Toppers 6.For Orphan students or person with certain disabilities 7.Defence personnels and central armed police forces(CAPF) dependents 8.
