How is admission based on merit or an entrance test (LPUNEST)? ?

Admission to M.A. Political Science at Lovely Professional University can be secured either through **merit** or the **LPUNEST entrance test**. Candidates with strong academic performance in their bachelor’s degree may be admitted directly on a merit basis, provided they meet the minimum eligibility criteria. However, applicants seeking scholarships or wanting to strengthen their admission chances are encouraged to appear for LPUNEST, which evaluates subject knowledge and general aptitude. High scores in LPUNEST can lead to fee concessions and priority in admission. Thus, students can choose merit-based admission or the entrance route depending on their preference and performance.
