If you have scored 69 marks in the entrance exam like LPUNEST, you still have a good chance to get admission depending on the course you apply for. LPU considers both entrance exam marks and academic performance for admission. Some programs may have higher cutoffs, while others are flexible. It’s best to apply early and confirm seat availability with the LPU admission department.

Yes, for the LPUNEST online proctored exam, you are absolutely allowed to use blank sheets of paper and a pen for rough work and necessary calculations. This allowance ensures you can comfortably solve numerical and complex problems. However, you must ensure the sheets are completely blank before the test begins and be prepared to show both sides clearly to the remote invigilator (proctor) via your webcam upon request, maintaining exam integrity.

Don’t stress about LPUNEST! The exam isn’t too hard, it’s more about testing your understanding of the basics from Physics, Chemistry, Math, or Biology (depending on your stream). If you’ve studied well in school, you’ll find it pretty manageable. Plus, LPU provides sample papers to help you prep confidently!
