    With an 85% in your Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, you may be eligible for direct admission into Lovely Professional University's (LPU) B.Tech Mechanical Engineering (Lateral Entry) programme without taking the LPUNEST entrance exam. LPU typically requires candidates to have a minimum of 60% aggregate marks in a relevant Diploma to qualify for lateral entry. While LPUNEST is generally mandatory for admission, candidates with high academic performance in their diplomas may be exempted from this requirement. Therefore, with your 85% Diploma score, you should be eligible for direct admission. It's advisable to contact LPU's admissions

Dear, Yes, if you miss the first phase of LPU NEST, you can still apply for the next phase. Lovely Professional University conducts LPU NEST in multiple phases each year to give students several chances to appear for the exam and qualify for admission or scholarships. You simply need to check the updated schedule on the official LPU website and complete the registration process for the upcoming phase.

Dear, To manage time effectively during the LPU NEST exam, start by carefully reading all the instructions and understanding the question pattern before you begin. Divide your total exam time based on the number of questions—allocate a few minutes to each and avoid spending too long on any single question.

Begin with the sections or questions you find the easiest to build confidence and secure quick marks, then move on to more challenging ones. Keep track of time using the on-screen timer and make sure to leave a few minutes at the end to review your answers. Practice mock tests regularly before the exam to improve your speed and accu
