    Hello,
    Hostel is better as you can make more friends and can take help in group projects and group studies. Hostel room is also cheaper as compare to the apartment ones. Basic facilities like mess, laundry etc. Are available here whereas in apartment you will have to do all on your own. Apartments have more facilities than hostels and the fees for that is also more as compared to hostel. All the best.

    At Lovely Professional University (LPU), both apartments and hostels offer on-campus accommodation, but they differ in terms of privacy, facilities, and overall lifestyle. Hostels are more traditional and usually come with shared rooms (2, 3, or more occupants), common washrooms (in some types), and fixed dining options in mess halls. They're ideal for students who prefer a more community-based living environment and want to stay closely connected to peers. On the other hand, apartments at LPU are more modern and offer greater privacy and comfort. They typically include attached washrooms, modular furniture, and sometimes even a small

    Hello, In a hostel, you can opt for either Air Cooler or Air Conditioner. And, there will be an Iron B.Ed in hostel rooms. But in apartments, you will have the Air Conditioner only and there will be a wooden box B.Ed. Apartments are more spacious and cleaner. Charges for apartments will be more than hostel charges.

    At LPU, apartments offer more privacy, attached washrooms, and a homely environment, making them ideal for students who prefer independence. Hostel rooms, on the other hand, are more community-based with options like shared or individual occupancy and common facilities. Apartments are generally considered better for comfort and personal space, while hostels suit those looking for a more social and budget-friendly setup.

Hey, so from what I've checked on LPU's official site, the NEST counselling is mainly done online, which is super convenient for us students anywhere in India. You just log in after your results, pick your preferred courses and seats based on your rank, and lock it all in digitally—no need to travel right away.​
It's got this smooth flow: download your scorecard, fill choices online, get seat allotment via merit, pay the initial fee (like INR20,000) through net banking or UPI, then submit docs later. LPU makes it flexible too, letting you pay offline at campus if you prefer, but the core process stays online for quick access.​

Yeah, LPU totally releases the LPU NEST counselling dates on their official site—it's super organized and student-friendly. For 2026, they've got it starting February 8th onwards for B.Tech, with online seat preferences from Feb 8-10, results on 12th, and admissions up to late Feb. Results drop quick, like within 24-48 hours post-exam, so you can jump right into counselling without waiting forever.​
It's all online mostly, through nest.lpu.in, where you update choices and get allotments based on your score—makes it easy from anywhere. No offline hassle unless you want campus visits for fees. LPU keeps everything updated live, way

Yes, it is actually very much required to bring along Class 10 and 12 certificates or at least mark sheets during the LPU NEST counseling, primarily because the university explicitly would wish to establish the age of applicants from the Class 10 marksheet and verify eligibility with the Class 12 certificate/marksheet before confirming admission and awarding a scholarship.

at LPU NEST counselling, you would have to check the result & rank, fill and lock online course/seat preferences, get the allotment of the seat based on the rank and choices, pay to secure the seat by paying the initial fee, and go on to upload/verify documents and pay the remaining fee within the stipulated time for final admission.
