    hi

    Lovely Professional University (LPU) administers the Lovely Professional University National Eligibility and Scholarship Test (LPU-NEST). Each year, a university-level examination called LPU NEST is conducted to choose candidates for the university's various programs. This is contingent upon which program you wish to apply for. LPU-NEST is essential for some programs to qualify for others, though not for all. If gaining admission to your desired program requires the LPU-NEST, you must take and succeed in it. Only after that will you be allowed admission. LPU-NEST is an online assessment without negative marking. (Complete the MCQs).
