LPUNEST is conducted for admission to several courses. The cut-off completely depends on the course you are applying for. I did my BA LLB from LPU. The LPUNEST is of 200 marks. I scored 165 marks and easily got admission and a scholarship. The LPUNEST cut offs vary as per your category as well. As per the official website the cut-offs and scholarships depend on the following.

You can also refer to the following table to check the tentative LPUNEST cut offs for MBA, Btech, or LLB admission

LPU provides both UG and PG Fashion Designing Courses in several specializations. I started doing my graduation in 2016. The BDes Fashion Design course has a comprehensive curriculum and taught me a lot of things including contemporary expertise. The LPU Fashion Designing programs also focus on using cutting-edge technologies and updates the students regarding the current market trends.

LPU has a high focus on both the theory and practical aspect of a subject. I attended several workshops, fashion shows, field visits, and industry interactions to focus on the real life industry and help in my training. I studied at the LPU School of Design and was mesmerised by the labs as well where we are encouraged to experiment with different materials to create designs and accessories.

Apart from the curriculum, infrastructure, and pedagogy, the placements at LPU for Fashion design graduates also have a great success record. After completing our graduation we could work at top design houses where our alumni have also secured job opportunities such as Anshul Rajwansh, Archana Kochhar, Aslam Khan (Delhi), Pam Mehta (Delhi), etc. In the last placements students have also been placed at top companies like H & M. The highest package also goes up to 14 LPA or more at times.

The eligibility criteria for admission into LPU varies for every degree.

For instance, if you want admission into B.Tech at LPU, here is the minimum eligibility criteria-

1. You must score a minimum of 60% in class 12th with English, Physics and Maths as compulsory subjects.
2. You must qualify LPUNEST.

For BA admissions, you need to score passing marks in class 12th. LPUNEST is not mandatory for admissions. 

Thus, the eligibility criteria is completely different for different courses. You can visit the LPU website and search for the eligibility criteria of your particular course. 

I am assuming by droppers you mean people who left their degree at LPU in the middle. If so, then yes, there are students who do so because of various reasons.

One example of the same is my friend. She had joined B.Tech ECE in the same year that I did. But from the very first day she told me that she wasn’t interested in engineering. Moreover, hostel life was new to her, and made her overwhelmed. 

She scored very poorly in Maths, in the December exams of first year. She got a Re-appear. In the next semester, she got sick for a month and scored very poorly in her mid semester exams. 

Her parents were being updated regularly through the university’s official app. They got angry at my friend for not doing well academically. But when they reached the hostel a few days later and had a talk with her, they realized she wasn’t happy with her choice of stream.

They took her home with them. She did not attend the second semester exams, and eventually, she told me that she had gotten admission into some other course at some other college. 

Currently she is happy with her decision to pursue fashion designing. Her story made me realize how important it is to make your choices with a calm mind, and not out of peer/family pressure.

I am a third year B.Tech CSE student at LPU. Thus I am experienced enough to answer your query-

• In the first year, you’ll have an MTE for every subject except the labs.
• From 2nd to 4th year, some subjects from your syllabus won’t have MTEs.
• MTE is an important part of your result. For a subject in MTE, you’ll be marked out of 40. This total will be further converted to 20 at a later stage.
• The MTE syllabus is the first 3 units of every subject. Look at your syllabus file, and make note of the first 3 units and their respective topics.
• Next, prepare topic-wise. If you pay attention in the lectures, half of your work is done. 
• Prepare from books, and not PPTs. PPTs are good for revision, but books will give you a clear understanding of a concept.

These are the things I have been following to prepare for MTEs at LPU. I hope these suggestions will be of help to you.

The mandatory requirement to clear LPUNEST is subject to which course you want to seek admission into. 

• For B.Tech, MBA, Agricultural courses- You need to clear the LPUNEST. 

But if you clear a national level exam that is recognised by LPU for admissions and you fulfill the university’s eligibility requirements, you can seek admission into these courses without clearing LPUNEST.

• For BBA, BA, BCom- For these programs, LPUNEST is not mandatory. 

But if you want to be eligible for scholarship, then you will have to clear the exam for these courses as well. 

This is the complete breakdown of the LPUNEST requirement (whether it is mandatory to clear this exam or not).

While most of the students choose LPU hostels for reasons like security, maintenance and ease of access, there are many PGs near the university that students can consider. 

• Law Gate is one of the most famous areas which is quite popular among LPU students. The area has many PGs and other attractions like food stalls, shops and more. 
• The other option for PGs is Phagwara. The distance is more than Law Gate but it houses some of the cosiest PGs in the area. The area offers a range of options catering to students needs. 
• The third place is Deepnagar which also has suitable PG accommodations at various price rates. Its only disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the campus so students have to adjust accordingly to be on time for classes. 

As an alumni of LPU, I can confirm that the university provides internship opportunities to the students of the CSE stream. Cognizant, Microsoft, Infosys, ISRO and ABB are some of the top companies where CSE students from LPU have worked as interns. 

Other than internships, LPU also provides students with the opportunities to work on real-time industry projects. Students are trained in Android and digital programming through a collaboration with Google. The university has also partnered with Microsoft, CISCO, Tech Mahindra and others to provide hands-on training to CSE students on the various aspects of computer science. 

LPU follows CGPA i.e., Cumulative Grade Point Average as a grading system to help students evaluate their progress in their respective courses. Students are provided grades based on their marks. To calculate the CGPA, students have to divide their total grade points for all semester subjects by the total number of credit hours attended. 

For a CGPA out of ten, students can divide their percentage by 9.5 and the resulting sum will be the CGPA. Points for various grades are mentioned in the following table.

I completed my BTech from LPU in 2021. From what I experienced during my time there, I can safely conclude that the placement policy at LPU is really good. LPU has a dedicated department called the Centre for Professional Enhancement that works to prepare students for various campus drives and provide students with career opportunities. 

During the second year of the course, students are required to choose a placement and appear in the exam. Students opting for placement have to pay the placement fee and are provided with PEP classes, preparation courses, interview preparation and more. LPU has more than 5500 offers from Fortune 500 companies with more than 2100 students hired. The average salary for the top 25% of students placed was INR 10.1 Lakh.
