    No, there is no negative marking in the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test). This student-friendly approach encourages candidates to attempt all questions without the fear of penalty for incorrect answers/unanswered questions. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and the absence of negative marking allows students to maximize their scores and scholarship opportunities. This policy reflects LPU's commitment to providing a supportive and encouraging environment for aspiring students.

    Yes, there is a negative marking in the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test). For every incorrect answer, a certain number of marks are deducted from the total score. This is designed to discourage random guessing and encourage students to answer questions they are confident about.

    However, the exact details of the negative marking scheme, including how many marks are deducted for each wrong answer, can vary depending on the specific exam and program. Typically, the marking scheme includes:

    1. Positive Marks: Correct answers are awarded a certain number of marks (usually 4 marks per correct answer)

    No, no negative marking system is there in the LPU NEST. The test would be of multiple choice type, and marks will be awarded only for correct answers, and there would not be any negative marking against incorrect attempts.

    This makes it a bit less stressful for candidates, as they can attempt all questions without the risk of losing marks for wrong answers. But always advisable to prepare and focus on accuracy to make the most of your marks. For detailed information about the exam pattern and syllabus, you can visit the official website of LPU or contact the Admissions Office.

The application form will be available for each phase separately. The candidates can log in to the official website and submit the application form, and appear for the exam.

Yes, you can appear for the  LPU NEST exam again in a later phase. Lovely Professional University allows candidates to appear in multiple phases of LPU NEST to improve their scores. To take the exam in a subsequent phase, the candidates must submit the application form again on the official website. Each phase of the  LPU NEST is treated separately, and the candidates will receive a new score and rank based on their performance in that phase of the exam.

No dear, there is no extra fees to appear in LPUNEST mock test . You only need to submit application fees of test . Here I would also like to inform you that if you choose online mode to appear for test only then its required to appear in mock test before final exam, so that you will get familiar with exam's software beforehand and comfortably qualify test on final date at home . 

On the other hand, If you choose test center based option then there is no mock test in that mode. You only need to visit test center by carry hall ticket alongwith other documents such as copy of application form, ID proofs etc. 

I hope this helps,
