When it comes to M.Sc Agriculture (Agronomy) at Lovely Professional University, there isn't a very strict “cutoff list” like government universities. Instead, the admission works more on eligibility plus LPUNEST performance. The basic cutoff requirement is around 55% marks in your B.Sc Agriculture, which is the minimum you need to be considered for admission.

Now, if we talk about the latest entrance-based cutoff, LPUNEST does not have a fixed closing rank, but it has score categories. For example, scoring around 87+ marks out of 100 is considered a top category, which can give you higher scholarships and better chances during counselling. Lower score categories also qualify, but with less scholarship benefits.

In reality, most students who meet the 55% eligibility and qualify LPUNEST can easily get admission because LPU follows a flexible and student-friendly system. The “cutoff” is more about how much scholarship you get rather than whether you get a seat or not.

So, if you are planning to apply, focus more on clearing eligibility and trying to score well in LPUNEST. A higher score doesn't just improve your chances, it also reduces your fees, which is a big advantage for most students.
