Yes, you can pursue an LLB degree at Lovely Professional University (LPU) without a national entrance exam like CLAT. LPU offers admission through its own merit-based process or university entrance test. For the 3-year LLB program, a graduation degree with minimum required marks is needed. The annual tuition fee is around ₹1.6 lakh, totaling approximately ₹4.8 lakh for the full course, excluding hostel and other charges.

To take admission in a UG law course at LPU, you must first check LPU’s official admission portal or contact their admission office for eligibility and application forms. The admission process typically opens after the board exam results are announced. You can apply online via LPU’s portal or visit the campus for offline registration — both modes may be available. It’s best to contact LPU admissions directly for exact start dates and procedure.

Admission to LPU’s integrated BA-LLB or BBA-LLB requires a minimum 60% aggregate in 12th grade alongside a valid CLAT or LPUNEST score. Applicants with a CLAT rank up to 10,000 are typically eligible. Notably, the English subject requirement may be waived for students from English-medium backgrounds or those who studied English.
