    Lovely Professional University (LPU) selects PhD candidates based on their academic qualifications, entrance test scores, and interview performance. Applicants must have a Master's degree with at least 55% marks. They need to clear LPUNEST unless they are exempted based on valid scores in exams like UGC NET/JRF, CSIR NET/JRF, GATE, GPAT, or an M.Phil. degree. Selection weightage varies: for Non-Agriculture PhDs, it is 70% Entrance Test and 30% Interview, while for Agriculture PhDs, it is 80% Entrance Test and 20% Interview. Exempted candidates are assessed solely on the interview.
