Yes — direct admissions are available at Lovely Professional University (LPU), but with some important conditions. LPU primarily uses its own entrance test called LPUNEST for many courses, especially competitive ones like B.Tech (including CSE) and MBA, and this test often influences both admission and scholarships. However, in several programs, you can get admission without taking the entrance test by meeting the eligibility criteria based on your 12th board marks or other qualifications, and applying through the official online portal with required documents and fee payment. For some UG courses like BBA, B.Com, B.Sc, etc., direct admission based on merit is generally possible, while for core technical courses like CSE, LPUNEST or equivalent exam scores may still be required in most cases. Always check the specific eligibility of your chosen programme on LPU's official website before applying.
