LPUNEST 2027 Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility varies by B.Tech programme. For several standard B.Tech programmes, LPU currently specifies 60% aggregate marks in Class 12 or equivalent, along with the required subjects. For B.Tech, B.Tech (Hons.) and certain CSE programmes, LPU lists Physics, Mathematics and English among the qualifying subjects. Other programmes have additional or different subject combinations.
Nationality
LPU's B.Tech LPUNEST eligibility page states that only Indian nationals are eligible to apply for LPUNEST B.Tech.
Class 12 Requirement
Candidates must have passed or be appearing in the qualifying 10+2 examination from a recognised board or equivalent authority. The applicable year and qualification requirements should be checked against the 2027 programme-specific notification.
Relaxation in Eligibility
LPU currently mentions:
- 10% relaxation in aggregate marks for candidates from North-East states and Sikkim.
- 5% relaxation for Defence Personnel and their dependents and Wards of Kashmiri Migrants, subject to programme applicability.
Candidates should check the eligibility conditions of their preferred B.Tech specialisation before applying.
Is LPUNEST Mandatory for LPU B.Tech Admission?
LPUNEST is not universally the only admission route for every B.Tech programme. LPU's current eligibility page states that admission for listed B.Tech programmes may be based on merit in LPUNEST, JEE Main or CUET, subject to the relevant programme requirements. Therefore, candidates should check the specific admission criteria for their chosen B.Tech branch instead of assuming that LPUNEST is mandatory in every case.

The application fee for the LPUNEST test is linked to the type of test kit selected:

|---|---|
| Soft-copy LPUNEST Kit | ₹1,000 |

LPU states that the fee can be paid through online banking, credit card, debit card or UPI.

LPUNEST Scholarship 2027
LPUNEST performance is also used to determine scholarship eligibility. LPU currently publishes three tentative scholarship cut-off categories for the B.Tech examination. The university notes that these cut-offs are based on previous applicants' performance and may change.
| Scholarship Category | Tentative LPUNEST Cut-off |
|---|---|
| Category A | 300/400 |
| Category B | 212/400 |
| Category C | 150/400 |
These are tentative score thresholds, not guaranteed scholarship amounts. The scholarship amount applicable to a candidate should be checked in the latest LPU scholarship and fee information.
LPUNEST Result and Admission
LPU states that LPUNEST is conducted in multiple schedules. After each schedule, candidates receive their subject-wise and total scores, while the final result sheet contains candidate ranks. The scores are also used for determining scholarship eligibility. After qualifying, candidates proceed through the admission process, including document submission and payment of the applicable admission fee. LPU lists documents such as a recent photograph, matriculation marksheet, qualifying examination certificate/marksheet and address proof for the admission stage.
