Lovely Professional university (LPU) has been a progressive institution with regard to offering flexibility and student friendliness in their admission process and admitting scores based on various entrance tests. LPU carries out one major exam with the name; lpunest ( Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test ), which is considered to be the test of admission as well as scholarship in most of the courses offered by the university. In addition to lapunest, LPU also accepts JEE main scores in B.Tech admissions, this, however, has made it possible to have students with valid JEE scores so as to secure admission in LPU without taking lapunest. In other courses, LPU accepts national level examinations like cuet undergraduate and postgraduate programs, NEET medical and paramedical programs and nata B.Arch and clat/lsat law programs. This extensive admission of entry exams gives students opportunities to pursue each according to their signature and inclination. The open and adaptable nature of LPU therefore facilitates accessibility in the admission process by different students as they include taking of the course that they would desire to take.
