    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.

    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!
