LPU NEST 2027 Exam Pattern
Updated on 18 October 2026 · Compiled from official Lovely Professional University notices
The B.Tech paper is an online objective test. The LPU 2027 B.Tech pattern page does not load its text for automated readers, so the structure below could not be re-verified line by line; the 400 marks total is consistent with the cut-offs on the LPU fee page (out of 400).
B.Tech paper structure
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sections | English, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology |
| Questions | 25 per subject, about 100 in total |
| Question types | 20 MCQs and 5 fill in the blanks in the science and maths sections |
| Marks | 4 per correct answer, 400 in total |

| Negative marking | None for wrong or unanswered questions |
Some portals show 120 or 125 questions and 480 or 500 marks. These look older or wrong; confirm on lpu.in/nest/btech.
How to approach it
With no negative marking you should attempt every question. About 1.5 minutes per question is available, so fill in the blank questions need fast calculation. English is the easiest place to secure marks.
