    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.
