    hi,

    If you aspire to become a news anchor with a B.Sc degree and 54%, you can still pursue your dream with the right steps. Consider enrolling in a diploma or postgraduate course in journalism or mass communication to build relevant skills. Focus on improving communication, voice modulation, and on-camera presence. Internships with news channels or media houses can provide valuable experience. Build a strong portfolio through campus media, YouTube, or podcasts. Confidence, clarity, and current affairs knowledge are key. With dedication and the right training, your academic background won't limit your success as a news anchor.

Yes, LPU conducted LPUNEST entrance test for its various programmes. However, it depends upon in which stream you want to take admission.

Dear reader,

Taking admission at LPU is a great choice. LPUNEST is their own entrance and scholarship exam.

The candidate's merit rank on the test and the courses and specializations they selected during the online preference submission are the main factors used to assign seats for LPU NEST counseling.  The availability of seats in the selected programs is another factor that affects allocation.

For more information kindly contact their concerned department.

I hope this information helps.
