LPU Admission Procedure 2025
Admission to Lovely Professional University (LPU) for the academic year 2025 is conducted through LPUNEST or other recognized entrance exams. The overall process includes application submission, test appearance, interview (where applicable), confirmation of admission, and document verification. Below is a detailed breakdown of the steps involved:
Step 1: Application Submission
Candidates must apply online by registering on the LPU ADMIT portal. Registration requires basic personal information such as name, email address, mobile number, state, gender, and password. The application fee for the LPUNEST entrance exam is ₹1,000.
Step 2: Slot Reservation
After registering, applicants are required to select their preferred date and time to take the LPUNEST exam. The admit card can be downloaded directly from the official portal after the slot is booked.
Step 3: Taking the LPUNEST Exam
Students must take the LPUNEST on the scheduled date. Depending on the course, this test could serve one of two purposes:
-
For both admission and scholarship consideration
-
For scholarship eligibility only
LPU also considers scores from national-level entrance exams like CAT, MAT, CLAT, and others for admission to specific programs. Additionally, some courses may require candidates to attend a personal interview.
Step 4: Results, Counselling, and Allocation of Seats
Once the results are published, candidates must choose their preferred program. Following this, they participate in a counselling session, which also includes discussions on available scholarships (if eligible). Seat assignment is carried out based on counselling outcomes and the order of application (first-come-first-served).
Step 5: Final Admission Confirmation
To confirm admission, candidates must complete the admission form and make an initial payment of ₹10,000. Once the fee is successfully processed, the university issues a provisional registration number via email.
