Arshia Singh · Answer

If you have 90% in 12th, you generally meet the eligibility criteria to apply for B.Tech CSE at Lovely Professional University. The university mainly requires good marks in subjects like Physics, Mathematics, and English. In many cases, students can apply based on their 12th board marks, so admission may be possible without necessarily appearing for an entrance exam. However, many students still choose to take LPUNEST because it can help them qualify for scholarships and sometimes gives additional advantages during the admission process. So while your 90% in 12th is already a strong academic score for eligibility, appearing for LPUNEST can still be useful if you want to try for fee concessions.
