NATA Eligibility

With your 50% HSC aggregate meeting LPU's minimum overall requirement and your NATA score of 110 comfortably clearing the qualifying threshold (LPU's cutoffs typically fall in the 90-140 range), you're in a decent position — the only catch is your 42% in PCM falls a bit short of the general category's 50% PCM requirement, though if you belong to SC/ST/OBC-NCL or PWD category, the relaxed 45% PCM cutoff would make you eligible right away; either way, my advice is to reach out directly to LPU's admission counsellors with your marksheet, since their merit-based, flexible admission process (with no rigid management quota hurdles) means they can quickly confirm your eligibility or guide you toward any applicable relaxation.
