No, it is not compulsory to appear for the CUET (Common University Entrance Test) to get admission to Lovely Professional University (LPU). LPU conducts its own entrance exam called LPU NEST (National Entrance and Scholarship Test), which is used for both admissions and scholarship purposes in many of its programs. For most courses, including undergraduate and postgraduate programs, students can secure admission directly based on their qualifying exam scores (such as Class 12th for UG programs or graduation for PG programs).However, if a student has appeared for the CUET exam and has a valid score, LPU may consider it for admissions or scholarship purposes, depending on the course. The CUET is optional and not a mandatory requirement for admission to LPU.If you're applying to a specific program, I can provide detailed information about its admission criteria. Let me know! ?
