Hi Virat, LPU NEST is mandatory for admission in B Tech CSE. However, if you have more than 80 percent in IIT JEE, you will be exempt from LPU NEST. LPU NEST is based one the last qualification and is subject specific. If you have studied well, then there is no need to worry. The best part is a student can attempt LPU NEST twice and the best result out of the two attempts will be considered. It's a proctored exam and one can even get the dates for the LPU NEST altered after informing the concerned department at a minimal fee. So do not worry, have faith in yourself. Give your best shot.

Manan Aggarwal · Answer

Yes, it is mandatory to give LPU NEST for every student irrespective of the percentage in boards or any other examination. You'll still have to give LPU NEST for most of the programs and there are some cases in LPU NEST that can be exempted but in the usual scenario, you'll have to attempt LPU NEST too to check your eligibility and possibly get a scholarship at LPU. Now, let me tell you some things about LPU NEST. There is a need for LPU NEST for almost all the courses in LPU because LPU NEST serves as an eligibility test and scholarship test. Since LPU believes that monetary constraints should not be the barrier to education so LPU tries to give the most generous of its scholarships through LPU NEST. A student can avail scholarships according to his/her previous education marks/LPUNEST/National Level Tests. This is a general way to get scholarships at LPU. Other methods like LPUTABS (LPU Talent and Audition Based Trials Scholarship) are very good alternatives to merit-based scholarships as you can prove your talent in any sports or cultural activity and get rewarded with heavy amounts of scholarships. To check all the other grants and scholarships, check out the official website of LPU from the link.
