    LPUNEST is compulsory for few programmes and not for all. Programmes like BBA, BCA, BA doesn't require LPUNEST. LPUNEST is not eligibility test but also a scholarship test. You can avail scholarship upto 50% depending upon the programme you are applying for. LPUNEST is not a very tough nut to crack, provided by you are fully aware of your subjects. In order to aid students , LPU has provided sample papers, previous year question papers and syllabus.

    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.
    Some of the Unique features of LPU in perspective to B.Com. (Hons.) programs are mentioned below just for reference.

    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
