    At Lovely Professional University (LPU), the admission criteria vary depending on the program you are applying for. While the university does offer opportunities for students with different academic backgrounds, your eligibility for admission with a 49% percentage will depend on the specific course and its admission requirements.

    For many undergraduate and postgraduate programs, LPU may consider entrance exams (like LPUNEST) along with your academic percentage. If your percentage falls below the standard eligibility criteria for a particular program, you can still apply through other pathways, such as direct admission based on other cri

    Hello readers. I hope all are good. LPU has flexible admission criteria, and while a 49% may be below the typical cut-off for some courses, you may still be eligible for admission based on LPUNEST (LPU's entrance exam) or direct merit-based admission, depending on the program you are applying for. It's best to check the specific course eligibility criteria on LPU's official website or contact the admission office for guidance. Additionally, LPU offers various scholarships that could help if you meet certain criteria.

    It totally depends on your preference of subject. There are some courses where LPU demands for 60%, some courses they demand for 50% and there some courses where they demand only passing marks.

    You have to visit their website for this to know better idea. But there is a relaxation of 5% for Kashimiri migrants, Sikkim and North East people. LPU will be the best option for you if you want to build your carreer in a smooth way.

    Faculties are the best one from the country. Campus life is world class provided, hotel is super secured and the technique of teaching is also the most updated.

    Dear reader,

    Taking admission at LPU is a great choice as they provides various opportunities for their students.

    Depending on your chosen major, you can definitely get in to Lovely Professional University with 49%.  A 'Pass' grade is accepted by several B.A. streams.  Your performance on the LPUNEST entrance exam will be the main determinant.  Even with a somewhat lower qualifying percentage, admittance is frequently guaranteed by a high LPUNEST score.  Please verify your eligibility for the particular course.

    For more information kindly contact their concerned department.

    I hope this information helps.
