    No, all students don't need to appear for the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test). Whether or not you need to take the test depends on the program you are applying for. LPUNEST serves two main purposes: eligibility and scholarships.

    • Eligibility: For certain programs, such as B.Tech, MBA, and others, LPUNEST is mandatory as part of the admission process. In these cases, students must qualify for the test to secure admission.

    • Scholarships: LPUNEST is also used to determine the level of scholarship students can receive. Even if the test is not compulsory for your program, appearing for LPUNEST can

    No, it is not compulsory for all to appear for LPUNEST as if a student gets 90% in class 12th then his/her LPUNEST is exempted and he is provided scholarship. If a student has excellent career sports and has represented his/ her state at national level then also he/she is given scholarship.
