No, there is no negative marking in LPU NEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test). This policy ensures that candidates can attempt all questions without fear of losing marks for incorrect answers. It encourages students to make educated guesses, which can increase their chances of scoring higher.
The exam typically consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) from subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (or Biology for certain programs), English, and general aptitude, depending on the course applied for. Each correct answer is awarded a specific number of marks, and unanswered or incorrect responses neither gain nor lose marks.
The absence of negative marking makes LPU NEST more student-friendly, reducing exam pressure and promoting a focus on maximizing attempts. However, candidates are advised to prepare thoroughly and avoid random guessing, as time management and accuracy still play a crucial role in achieving a high score.
LPU NEST serves as both an entrance test and a scholarship exam, so performing well can lead to significant financial benefits. Thus, even without negative marking, strategic preparation and focused revision are essential for success.
