I scored less than 60% marks in class 12th, but I scored 86% marks in class 10th. Am I eligible for LPU-NEST 2018 for BA LLB?

For LPU admission, appearing in the LPUNEST exam is mandatory for most technical and professional programs—including B.Tech, M.Tech, MBA, Agriculture, Law, and Pharmacy. These courses require LPUNEST both as an entrance and scholarship test. However, some programs allow direct admission based on qualifying exam scores or national test results, such as B.Sc. (Mathematics, Biotechnology, Physics), BCA (AI, Cyber Security), BBA, B.Com, BA, etc., where LPUNEST is optional and primarily needed only to secure scholarships.

So if you're applying for Engineering (B.Tech) or similarly professional courses, you must take LPUNEST (or an accepted alternative like JEE Main for B.Tech). For general degree courses, admission without LPUNEST is possible, though you'll miss out on scholarship opportunities tied to LPUNEST performance.

With 91% marks in Non-Medical (CBSE), you are eligible for direct admission to the B.Tech programme at Lovely Professional University (LPU) without the need to appear for the LPUNEST exam. LPU offers this exemption to students who have scored 90% or above in Class 12, recognizing their academic excellence. In addition to admission, you are also eligible for a merit-based scholarship, which can offer up to 50% reduction in tuition fees, depending on the exact percentage bracket and availability under the scholarship policy.

The admission process is simple and entirely online. You'll need to register on LPU's official admission portal, fill in your academic details, upload your Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, and pay the application fee. Once your documents are verified and eligibility confirmed, you can secure your seat early, choose your specialization, and move forward with hostel or transportation preferences if needed. This direct pathway not only saves time but also allows you to take full advantage of LPU's modern infrastructure, industry-focused curriculum, global tie-ups, and strong placement ecosystem.

In the event of a tie in LPUNEST scores, Lovely Professional University follows a well-defined tie-breaker policy to ensure fair and accurate ranking. The process gives priority to candidates based on their performance in individual subjects. First, the student with higher marks in subjects with greater weightage (like Mathematics or Biology, depending on the stream) is ranked higher. If the tie still persists, scores in subjects with lesser weightage, followed by English language proficiency, and finally logical reasoning scores are considered in that order. This layered approach ensures that rankings are not random and are based on a clear and transparent academic assessment.

LPUNEST serves both as an entrance test and a scholarship exam for admission into various undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Candidates are ranked based on their performance, which also determines their eligibility for scholarships—ranging up to 100% fee waivers for top scorers. The credibility of LPU's academic framework is highlighted by its NAAC A+ accreditation with a 3.68 out of 4 CGPA, reflecting strong academic standards, research focus, and student success outcomes. Through LPUNEST and its comprehensive programs, LPU ensures that capable students not only gain access to quality education but are also recognised and rewarded for their academic efforts.
