    Hi,

    No, LPUNEST is not mandatory for admission to the Master of Computer Applications (MCA) program at Lovely Professional University (LPU). However, it is one of the accepted entrance exams for admission. Applicants can also apply with valid scores in other national-level entrance exams such as NIMCET or any other exam approved by the University. Alternatively, applicants who have completed their Bachelor's degree in Computer Applications or related fields with at least 55% aggregate marks can also apply for admission without an entrance exam score.

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
