unique and clarity

Admission:

I chose Lovely Professional University (LPU) after comparing it with several other colleges I had applied to, both private and government institutions. While making this decision, I considered multiple factors such as academics, infrastructure, placement opportunities, admission flexibility, and overall campus exposure. I had also applied to universities like Chandigarh University, Amity University, and some government engineering colleges through entrance exam–based counseling. I received confirmed admissions from LPU, Chandigarh University, and Amity University, but I was unable to secure a seat in top government colleges due to their high cutoffs and limited seats, especially for competitive branches like Computer Science. What ultimately made me choose LPU over the other colleges was the balance it offers between opportunities and accessibility. Academically, LPU provides a flexible and industry-oriented curriculum that allows students to explore specializations, electives, and skill-based courses alongside their main degree. Compared to other colleges I considered, LPU placed more emphasis on practical learning, projects, certifications, and industry exposure rather than just theoretical knowledge. This aligned well with my career goals and learning style. Infrastructure was another major factor. LPU has a massive, well-planned campus with modern classrooms, advanced laboratories, a huge central library, hostels, sports complexes, and dedicated spaces for clubs and innovation. When I compared this with other colleges, LPU clearly stood out in terms of scale and facilities, which directly impacts the student experience and learning environment. The diversity on campus is also a big advantage, as students come from different states and countries, creating a multicultural and collaborative atmosphere.

"Our journey from LPUNEST to Industry level"

Student Snaps:

Admission:

I applied for different colleges like Amrita, VIT, DU, etc. I got confirmation for admission from VIT. I choose LPU over others because of CompTIA tie-up for cybersecurity. I also got rejection from other colleges too. It can be entrance exams sometimes, and food, etc. Some colleges i didnt focus properly i applied normally so I didnt make it there. For admission in LPU in our program atleast 60% needed in 12th. Entrance exam LPUNEST need to be given. In jee main 80-90 percentile needed. In LPUNEST more than 805 marks needed for A category scholarship otherwise fee for each semester will be high.

LPU: 69 Answered Questions

Can I get an admission in Lovely Professional University without the LPU NEST?

Rudra SharmaLovely Professional University, Jalandhar

There are two ways to look at this. LPU NEST is a compulsory entrance exam to seek admission to any of the engineering, MBA or any other courses at LPU. You can skip to appear for LPU NEST if you have qualified any national level entrance exam for the course you are applying to. If you have a JEE Main score for BTech or CAT/CMAT etc for MBA you can get direct admission at LPU.

However, in my opinion there are some advantages of appearing for the LPU NEST. If you qualify for it, you will eligible for a scholarship. The admission process is also very simple as everything is uploaded to the portal when you apply for LPU NEST and you just have to get it verified once selected.

LPUNEST is mandatory for some of the courses and is the minimum eligibility criteria as well, that you must fulfil. But for some courses it is only a scholarship test. So it is beneficial to appear for it as it will improve your scholarship as well.

Is LPUNEST complasory to get addmission in bsc in ATHM?

Vinima Bhola

For admission to LPU's BSc programmes, including the BSc in Airlines, Tourism, and Hospitality Management (ATHM), LPUNEST is typically required.

This is the required entrance exam for the majority of LPU's undergraduate programmes, including Hotel Management and BSc (Hons).
LPUNEST is also utilised for scholarship eligibility in certain programmes.
For certain BSc programmes, you may be exempt from LPUNEST if you receive a score of 90% or higher on your 12th (qualifying) exam. However, you should confirm this specifically for BSc ATHM, as course-specific policies may differ.

I have scored 58% in class 12. Will I be selected at LPU?

Preeti GognaLovely Professional University, Jalandhar

With your 58% score, you can get admission at LPU but in some of their programs. There are various undergraduate programs at LPU with different eligibility criteria. For most of the undergraduate programs, LPU requires candidates to have at least 60% marks in class 12. If you are targeting courses like BTech, your marks will not be sufficient.

However, there are certain courses like BBA, BCA, BCom and more where your percentage may be enough to get selected. Along with your percentage, you have to clear the LPUNEST exam to get selected. You should score well in it to make up for your class 12 marks.

I would recommend you to first choose the course you are interested in and then contact the admission cell to get more details regarding your percentage. With low marks and a good LPUNEST score, you may be able to get admission. LPUNEST will also make you eligible for the scholarship.

What are the other entrance exams other than LPUNEST that LPU accepts for admission?

Vishal KumarStudent at LPU

LPU generally provides admission based on the LPUNEST entrance exam but also accepts other exams to provide admission. I have listed some of the top courses and the exams accepted below.

Engineering courses - JEE Main
Management courses - CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, NMAT
Law courses - CLAT
Agriculture courses - CUET
Design courses - UCEED, NIFT, NID DAT
Hotel Management courses - CUET
Architecture courses - NATA
PhD programs - UGC NET, CSIR NET, GATE

Does LPU offer admission on the basis of CLAT exam?

JyotiStudent at LPU

LPU is one of the premier education institutes in India known for its courses offered in various disciplines. Though admission to all the courses is based on the LPUNEST exam, the university also accepts other entrance exams like GATE, JEE Main, CUET and more to provide admission.

Other than the LPUNEST, the university also accepts CLAT scores to provide admission to its BA-LLB and BBA-LLB (Hons.) integrated courses. BA-LLB course is meant for students aspiring to legal education with social sciences to benefit society. BBA-LLB (Hons.) integrated course grooms aspiring lawyers for the corporate sector by providing legal practices and a foundation in management.

To be eligible for these courses, you are required to clear class 12 with English with 60% marks from a recognised board. Clearing LPUNEST is also recommended as it will provide you with the scholarship benefits.

Can I get BTech admission at LPU with a 67% overall score but 54% in mathematics?

SoumyadeepBTech (2022), LPU

To be eligible for BTech at LPU you only need an aggregate of at least 60% of marks in 10+2 (with Physics, Mathematics, and English).

Does LPU accept CUET for BTech?

Tanima SinghaniaStudies at LPU

Yes, LPU accept CUET score for admission in BTech. Also you can sit for the LPUNEST examination through which you will be able to secure up to 50% scholarship. The BTech courses of LPU are one of the best. The curriculum is industry-integrated and offers practical knowledge to the students. You will get to work at the ground level and get insights about how the industry works. There are multiple specializations for BTech that you can choose from. Also, keep in mind that the academics are rigorous so you will have to perform well. Try to have a well structured resume in order to get placed at the top companies. Make use of the various opportunities presented by LPU such as internships, workshops, seminara and try to learn as much as you can. Also, you can get to take part in various extracurricular activities because of the wonderful infrastructural facilities that LPU offers.

Does LPU offer MTech in cyber security? How can I get admitted to it?

Pawan MedaLovely Professional University, Jalandhar

LPU is one of India's best private universities, offering courses in various disciplines at different levels. MTech is one of the popular courses at the postgraduation level at university, provided in many specialisations. While the university does not have a dedicated MTech in cyber security course, you can consider an MTech in information security and cyber forensics.

MTech in information security and cyber forensics at LPU also focuses on advanced technology and protecting digital information just like an MTech in cyber security. The program aims to make students competent in identifying, handling and mitigating cybersecurity incidents through appropriate knowledge and skills.

To be eligible for this course, you must score 60% marks in your BTech, MCA or MSc degree in a relevant discipline. You also have to submit a valid scorecard of the LPUNEST, CUET or GATE exam.

What happens if I receive financial aid but withdraw from my LPU admission?

Swati MullickStudies at Lovely Professional University, Graduated 2023

Once you withdraw from the LPU admission, your financial aid will be stopped as well. The financial aid scheme applies only to those students who are admitted to LPU and are pursuing any of the courses from LPU. Financial aid is provided to students who belong to the economically weaker section and special category children. If you fall under any of these categories, then you are eligible to apply for the financial aid scheme. Also, you must remember the deadline before which you should apply. I would suggest you go through the official website of LPU and you will get all the required answers under the Financial Aid section.

Can you tell me about the latest cutoff and the entrance exam accepted for LPU BTech courses?

AryanBTech student at LPU

As per my knowledge, the expected LPUNEST 2024 cutoff for the BTech course is 150 to 300 marks out of 400.

LPU offers every year the National Entrance and Scholarship Test (LPUNEST) for around 150+ courses. Every year more than 75,000 students join the LPUNEST exam. Apart from the LPUNEST exam, LPU accepts CUET or JEE Main score for BTech admission.
