Hello,
If you are looking for admission in B.Com at LPU, there is no LPUNEST entrance exam. Also, if you have 90% and above, you can even avail scholarship. As per the latest initiative by LPU, they have relaxed eligibility in many of the courses, stating During this period of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, to support prospective students (candidates) to apply for admissions, direct online/remote admissions (subject to fulfillment of eligibility criteria) process has been started.

Earlier, a candidate must have to give test (LPUNEST) and must score certain percentile in his qualifying exams for admission. But, as per my knowledge due to COVID-19, LPU has relaxed various conditions for admission to support students in such pandemic situation. So, you can proceed for admission in LPU with good amount of scholarship without test. After admission, your marks in test considered for securing scholarship only.
Now, various education institutes such as LPU has floated COVID-19 front-line scholarship for COVID survivors and their dependents to target every aspirant in this current scenario -

5 years agoHi Mili,
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, This year LPU has relaxed their eligibility criteria for their prospective students. LPUEST is mandatory as eligibility for B.Tech. But you are right, if you have above 90% in 10+2, you don't need to do it. Then you will be eligible to get direct admission.
In fact, Your marks in 10th class also get you the highest possible slab of scholarship itself. For other UG programs LPUNEST is not mandatory but can take LPUNEST exam to enhance the scholarship.
All the best for your future. -

Hello there!
Nope, it’s not compulsory for everyone to take the LPUNEST exam — but for most courses, yeah, you’ll need to go through it. LPUNEST is kind of a two-in-one deal: it acts as both an entrance test and a way to bag scholarships. So even if you don’t have to give it for admission, taking it can still help you save a lot on fees through scholarships.
For some programs like Ph.D., LPUNEST is required — unless you’ve already cleared exams like UGC-NET, CSIR-NET, or have a valid GATE/GPAT score. In that case, you can skip it.
If you’re aiming for LPU, it’s a good idea to check if
