LPU NEST 2026

LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test) is conducted by Lovely Professional University, one of India's largest private universities with NAAC A++ accreditation. Since its inception in 2009, more than 75,000 students appear for the exam every year. The exam is offered in convenient modes including remotely proctored online from home and test center-based options. LPUNEST has a two-fold advantage as it acts as both an Entrance Test and a Scholarship Test, with LPU awarding over Rs 100+ crores in scholarships to students every year. The exam is conducted for various levels including UG, PG, and Ph.D. programs. For B.Tech admissions, candidates with valid JEE Main scores are exempted from LPUNEST. Similarly, Ph.D. applicants with valid GATE, GPAT, or UGC/CSIR fellowship awards may be exempted from the entrance test.
