Step-by-step registration guide (online, offline, semi-offline)

Follow these steps depending on the mode you choose. Keep documents ready before you start.

Online registration (recommended)

1. Visit admission.lpu.in and create an LPU Admit account using a valid email and mobile number. Your registered email cannot be changed later, so use one you control.
2. Log in with the credentials generated during registration.
3. Select the correct phase (Phase 3 for the April window).
4. Fill the application form: personal details, academic details and programme choices. Use exact spellings as in your certificates.
5. Upload scanned documents (photo, signature, 10th/12th marksheets, ID proof such as Aadhaar/PAN).
6. Choose LPUNEST kit option — soft copy or hard copy — and pay the application fee.
7. After successful payment, proceed to slot booking (when the slot window is open).
8. Download and save the admit card after booking a slot. Keep screenshots of payment confirmation.

Common pitfalls: wrong email/mobile, mismatch in name/board details, low-resolution uploads. These cause delays or rejection.

Offline registration (if you prefer campus/OMR)

1. Visit the LPU campus admission office and collect the application/OMR form.
2. Pay the application kit fee in person (soft/hard copy option).
3. Fill the OMR form carefully and follow instructions.
4. Send the filled form in a self-addressed envelope to: Block 30, Room No 102, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar-Delhi G.T. Road (NH-1), Phagwara, Punjab — 144411.

Keep a copy of the filled OMR and payment receipt. If you use offline mode, you will receive a unique OMR code that helps you link to the portal.

Semi-offline registration (OMR code + portal)

1. Use the OMR form to get the unique OMR code from campus or a designated centre.
2. Sign up on the LPU Admit portal and choose the option to register with a unique OMR code before paying.
3. Enter the OMR code, complete the online fields and upload digital documents.
4. Pay the fee (portal confirms the mapping).

This option is useful when you cannot physically send the OMR but still have access to OMR code.

Slot booking explained: how, when and common issues

Slot booking is mandatory after registration and before the exam. For Phase 3, the slot booking window begins on April 15, 2026 .

How to book: - Log in to your LPU Admit account using the credentials you created at registration. - Go to the slot booking section and choose exam mode: remotely proctored or test centre-based (if both available for the phase). - Select date, time and, for centre-based tests, the preferred test centre. - Confirm and download the admit card immediately.

Common issues and fixes: - Payment shows successful but slot booking not active: keep payment screenshot and bank transaction ID; contact lpunest@lpu.co.in or call 1800-102-4407 . - Slot shows full: try alternate dates within the window or book early during the booking start time. - Double booking or multiple transactions: capture screenshots and raise a ticket with details and txn ID.

If slot booking fails repeatedly, escalate to the helpline with screenshots: payment page, error message and transaction status from the bank.

Note: The portal generates login details during registration. Save them and the registered email carefully. You will receive all official communication on that email.

Fee structure, payment modes and tips for transaction issues

Choose your LPUNEST kit option and pay online or offline. Below is the official fee table.

Payment modes and practical tips: - Online: debit/credit card, netbanking, UPI are typically available on the admission portal. - Offline: pay at campus admission office if you are submitting physically. - For semi-offline, complete payment on portal after entering the OMR code.

If a transaction fails or gets double-charged: - Immediately take screenshots of the payment page, error message and bank statement showing the transaction ID. - Note the bank txn ID and the exact timestamp. - Email these details to lpunest@lpu.co.in and call 1800-102-4407 . - Most institutions resolve such cases within a few working days; follow up with your bank too.

Refunds, corrections and withdrawal: - Official pages do not clearly list an application-correction window or refund policy in detail. Treat this as a coverage gap and follow the proactive advice below: save all payment records, request written confirmations from the university for any refund or correction, and escalate via helpline if you do not get timely responses.

Exam modes: remotely proctored vs test centre — what to choose

LPUNEST offers two modes. Choose based on your comfort level and logistics.

Remotely proctored exam (RP): - Window for Phase 3: Apr 4–20, 2026 . - You take the test from home using your laptop/desktop with a functioning webcam and microphone. - Expect system checks for camera, microphone and browser compatibility. - Carry a valid government ID and keep it visible during checks as instructed.

Test centre-based exam: - Window for Phase 3: Apr 4–30, 2026 . - You must reach the test centre on your booked date and time with admit card and ID. - Useful if your home internet is unstable or you do not have a dedicated quiet space.

Which to pick? - Choose remotely proctored if you have a stable internet connection, a quiet space, working webcam and mic. - Pick test centre if you worry about tech failures or prefer supervised settings.

Remote-exam checklist: - Stable broadband (use wired if possible). - Fully charged laptop and charger. - Clean, plain background, good lighting, and no two-screen setups unless allowed. - Government ID ready for verification.

Centre-exam checklist: - Admit card printout, ID proof, and a small bottle of hand sanitizer. - Reach the centre at least 45–60 minutes before the slot. - Carry your registration confirmation and payment receipt if asked.

After the exam: results, counselling and next steps (what to expect)

Official pages do not publish a fixed timeline for result declaration and counselling for every phase. Typical flow you should expect: - Result publication: usually a few days to a couple of weeks after the exam window closes. Keep checking nest.lpu.in for updates into the result section. - Cutoffs and scholarships: LPUNEST score is used for both admission and scholarship allocation. Higher scores can unlock bigger scholarship slabs. - Counselling/admission: Prepare scanned originals and photocopies of 10th/12th marksheets, ID proof, caste/category certificates (if applicable) and passport-size photos.

If you miss a deadline or need a correction: - Immediately contact lpunest@lpu.co.in and the toll-free number. Provide evidence and request a formal acknowledgement. - For document corrections after provisional admission, ask the admission office for the official correction window and keep proof of communication.

Coverage gaps and actionable advice — what official pages don’t clearly state

There are a few areas where official pages are not detailed. Here’s how you should prepare:

• No stepwise screenshots on the portal: take screenshots at every registration step and after payment. Save them offline.
• Application correction window unclear: assume limited or no correction window; double-check all details before final submission. If in doubt, contact the helpline for confirmation.
• Refund and withdrawal policy not explicit: keep payment records and email requests for refunds. Follow up in writing.
• ID and photo specs missing: use a passport-size colour photo (clear, white/light background) and scanned documents in PDF/JPEG at 100–300 KB to 1 MB. Keep signature scans under 200 KB. These are recommended formats — check upload limits on the portal while filling the form.
• Category/reservation queries: carry original certificates for verification and get written confirmation from the admission office about accepted formats.
• Language/test-language options unclear: check the exam instructions on admit card or email after slot booking. If not specified, contact the helpline.

Checklist: final pre-submission and day-of-exam checklist

Pre-submission (before you click submit): - Verify name, DOB, parent names and board details exactly as on certificates. - Keep scanned copies of 10th, 12th, government ID (Aadhaar/PAN), photo and signature. - Confirm payment status and save txn ID and screenshot. - Book your slot as soon as the booking window opens.

Day-of-exam (remote): - Admit card (digital/print if allowed), ID proof, charged laptop, stable internet and backup device. - No one else in the room and no permitted resources unless specified.

Day-of-exam (centre): - Admit card printout, valid ID, arrive early and follow centre instructions.
