    As per the official guidelines for the LPU National Entrance and Scholarship Test (LPU NEST), there is no negative marking of marks for the wrong answer or an unattempted question during the exam.

    This is true for several programmes for which LPUNEST is organized, i.e.,  

    B.Tech
    MBA
    Undergraduate Design Courses
    M.Tech
    And other undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
    Hence, those who are sitting for LPU NEST need not fear losing marks for wrong attempts. This motivates them to go for all the questions in the examination.

    Yes, the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test) includes negative marking to discourage random guessing and ensure students answer confidently. Typically, for every correct answer, candidates are awarded a certain number of marks, often 4 marks, while incorrect answers result in the deduction of marks, usually 1 mark or a fraction of the awarded marks. The exact negative marking scheme may vary depending on the specific exam and program. To minimize unnecessary deductions, students are advised to attempt only those questions they are confident about, especially in cases where there is no "mark f

    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 respon

    No, there's no negative marking in LPUNEST, which is honestly a big plus for students. You don't lose any marks for wrong answers, so even if you're unsure about a few questions, it's worth giving them a try. There's no penalty, so you're encouraged to attempt all the questions without second-guessing yourself too much.

    This makes the exam a bit more student-friendly compared to many other entrance tests. You can go in with a calm mind and aim to maximize your score without the fear of losing marks. It's especially helpful in sections where you're not fully confident you still stand a chance to score if you make an educated guess.

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,
