    LPUNEST is scholarship and eligibility specific. It serves two purposes.It totally depends on the programme you are going to take admission in. If programme eligibility says LPUNEST is mandatory then you need to appear for it otherwise it's your choice to appear for it in order to avail maximum scholarship throughout the degree.

    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.

    Hello Mili Singh
    It depends on the programme you are applying to. Except for those programmes where it just serves as a scholarship test, most programmes where the qualifying LPUNEST serves as an eligibility and a scholarship test require it.
    I hope it's useful!

    Yes, it is compulsory for all students seeking admission to LPU to appear for the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test) exam. This exam is designed to assess the eligibility of candidates for various programs offered by the university. 

    The LPUNEST not only serves as an entrance test but also provides opportunities for scholarships based on the scores. It's important for prospective students to prepare for this exam to enhance their chances of admission and securing financial assistance.
