    No, it is not compulsory for all students to appear for the LPU NEST at exam centers. Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers students the flexibility to take the LPU NEST either online (at home) or offline (at designated exam centers), depending on the mode chosen during the application process. This hybrid system allows students to choose the mode that is most convenient for them.

    Here are the key details:

    At Lovely Professional University (LPU), the requirement to appear for the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test) varies depending on the program. For certain courses, such as B.Tech and MBA, LPUNEST is mandatory for admission. However, for other programs, admissions can be based on academic performance in previous qualifying exams or scores from recognized national-level entrance exams. It's advisable to consult the official LPU website or contact the admissions office directly to determine the specific requirements for your desired program

    Hi there, you will have to appear for LPUNEST if the program that you are seeking admission in has LPUNEST marked as an eligibility. LPUNEST is mandatory for B Tech programs and Hons programs. However, for the rest of the programs, LPUNEST is not mandatory for admission, but you can still appear for it for scholarship purpose. Hope this answers your question. Good Luck

    Hi Mili, B.Com. is the good choice of subject if you are having strong control over subjects of commerce like Accounting, Banking And Financial Services, Economics, Finance, Financial Markets.
    Being Alumni of LPU what I got to know from my batchmates that, for taking admission in B.Com course you need not qualify in LPUNEST. But since you are a meritorious student, I must recommend you to pursue most upgraded B.Com (Hons.) course, but for the same you need to qualify in LPUNEST.
