ATMA Exam – What to Carry

To enter the ATMA exam centre, you must carry a colour printout of your admit card. It's compulsory. Stick a recent colour passport-size photo on it – the same photo you used in the application form.

Without the admit card, you won't be allowed to enter the exam hall.

Also, carry these things with you:

• Original photo ID proof – like Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, or Driving License.
  (Ration Card and Learner's License are not accepted.)
• One black & white photocopy of your ID proof.
• Two black & white copies of your admit card – each with a recent passport-size photo stuck on it.
• One black & white copy of your registration form.
• Self-declaration form.
• If you're married and changed your name, carry your original marriage certificate, gazette notification, or affidavit as proof.

In the event of a tie in LPUNEST scores, Lovely Professional University follows a well-defined tie-breaker policy to ensure fair and accurate ranking. The process gives priority to candidates based on their performance in individual subjects. First, the student with higher marks in subjects with greater weightage (like Mathematics or Biology, depending on the stream) is ranked higher. If the tie still persists, scores in subjects with lesser weightage, followed by English language proficiency, and finally logical reasoning scores are considered in that order. This layered approach ensures that rankings are not random and are based on a clear and transparent academic assessment.

LPUNEST serves both as an entrance test and a scholarship exam for admission into various undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Candidates are ranked based on their performance, which also determines their eligibility for scholarships—ranging up to 100% fee waivers for top scorers. The credibility of LPU's academic framework is highlighted by its NAAC A+ accreditation with a 3.68 out of 4 CGPA, reflecting strong academic standards, research focus, and student success outcomes. Through LPUNEST and its comprehensive programs, LPU ensures that capable students not only gain access to quality education but are also recognised and rewarded for their academic efforts.
