Yes, you can still get admission in LPU with 55% in your board exam, as eligibility varies depending on the program. Most Diploma and bachelor's programs require a minimum of 50–60%, so 55% meets the criteria for many courses. However, some programs like B.Tech, BBA, B.Sc., and arts courses may require you to qualify LPUNEST for scholarship or eligibility. Professional programs such as B.Pharm, B.Arch, or law may have higher requirements as per regulatory bodies. You should check the specific programme criteria on LPU's official website before applying to confirm eligibility.
What if I get 55% in board exam, will I get admission in LPU?

Hey, don't stress if you score 55% in boards—LPU's pretty chill about admissions for tons of courses. Most UG programs like BBA, B.Com, or even some B.Tech streams just need 50-60% aggregate in 12th, so 55% totally qualifies you, especially if English is there. You'll likely need to crack their LPUNEST (super straightforward test), but it's not a big hurdle and can snag scholarships too. LPU's got this flexible vibe—they focus on your overall potential, not just marks, with world-class campus, killer placements from 700+ companies, and hands-on learning that sets you up for jobs. No shade to other unis, but LPU makes it easy to

While NCERT books are good for LPU NEST preparation, students must not study only NCERT. The candidates must refer to the LPU NEST syllabus provided on the official website and check different books for the topics given in the syllabus. Students can also refer to online materials for the different topics.

Yes, candidates can directly appear for the exam without taking a mock test. Taking a mock test will help the candidates get familiar with the exam pattern, type of questions, etc. So it is recommended that the candidates take mock tests.
