Lovely Professional University (LPU) is expected to commence the LPUNEST 2027 registration window for B.Tech and other undergraduate programmes, with the Phase 1 application form expected to be released in the first week of October 2026. The update follows the conclusion of the LPUNEST 2026 cycle, which was conducted across four phases, with the final phase's results and seat allotment declared by June 2026 for the 2026–27 admission session.

LPUNEST, short for the Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test, is conducted by LPU as both an admission and scholarship examination for programmes including B.Tech, and is typically held in multiple phases spread between January and July or August. Candidates who have completed, or are currently appearing for, their Class 10+2 examination from a recognised board are expected to be eligible to apply once the official notification is issued.

The LPUNEST 2027 exam is anticipated to follow the phase-wise structure of earlier cycles, with Phase 1 likely to be conducted from January 2027 in both remotely proctored and test centre-based modes.
