    Dear reader,

    LPU has its own entrance exam LPUNEST.

    Indeed, passing Lovely Professional University's (LPU) entrance and scholarship exam, the LPUNEST, may be necessary for admission to the BCA program.  A strong LPUNEST score can potentially qualify you for a scholarship, though admittance may also be determined by your performance on the qualifying exam.Indeed, passing Lovely Professional University's (LPU) entrance and scholarship exam, the LPUNEST, may be necessary for admission to the BCA program.  A strong LPUNEST score can potentially qualify you for a scholarship, though admittance may also be determined by your performa

    Dear reader,

    BCA at LPU is a great choice.

    Yes, the LPUNEST (LPU National Entrance and Scholarship Test) is the basis for admission to Lovely Professional University's (LPU) BCA program.  In addition to being a requirement for admission, this entrance exam establishes your eligibility for scholarships, which can drastically lower the total cost.  On the basis of your class 12 grades, you may also be admitted.

    For more information kindly visit LPU website.

    I hope this information helps.

    hi,

    For on-campus BCA admission at LPU, students must clear LPUNEST, which also helps determine scholarships. The exam, coupled with class 12 academic performance, is central to the selection process. In comparison, online or distance BCA programs do not mandate an entrance test; admission is primarily open based on eligibility and academic record, with possibly a screening or interview in some cases.

    Yes, admission to the BCA program at LPU is based on eligibility criteria and may require the LPUNEST entrance exam for scholarships. Candidates must have passed 10+2 with at least 50% marks (with English) or an equivalent qualification. LPUNEST is primarily for scholarship purposes, and students meeting the eligibility criteria can get direct admission without it.  

    LPU also provides excellent infrastructure, industry-oriented curriculum, and placement opportunities, making it a good choice for BCA aspirants. The university focuses on practical learning through projects, internships, and collaborations with top tech companies.

    No, LPU does not conduct entrance exam for admission to the Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) program. This entrance exam, known as the LPU NEST (National Entrance and Scholarship Test), is designed to assess the eligibility of candidates seeking admission to various programs, including BCA. The exam evaluates the student's understanding of subjects related to the chosen course, and it plays a key role in determining both admission and scholarships.

    Apart from the LPU NEST, candidates who have secured a good percentage in their previous academic qualifications may also be considered for admission based on merit. The university off
