Lovely Professional University (LPU)
has signed a multi-year agreement with global computer-based testing leader
Pearson VUE to deliver its popular Lovely Professional University National
Entrance and Scholarship Test (LPUNEST).
Pearson VUE will deliver the LPUNEST
admissions test for multiple programmes, not just in India but via its network
of more than 5,000 test centres in 180 countries around the world. Students
applying for a place at the university can schedule their admissions exam at a
local test centre across more than 130 cities in India via an online booking
system from March 1, 2017.
Candidates will also have the
flexibility of registering and scheduling – choosing a slot at their preferred
date, time and location in a seamless way. Exam security is a high priority for
university admissions and Pearson VUE will be capturing candidate biometrics
including digital photographs and digital signatures to reduce cases of fraud.
Divyalok Sharma, senior director –
client development at Pearson VUE, said: “We were chosen by Lovely Professional
University in part due to our adherence to global best practices in assessment
standards. Our new partnership with the university is good news for aspiring
candidates across India and abroad. We intend to provide the highest quality of
services and a glitch-free test delivery for LPU.”
Ashok Mittal, chancellor of Lovely
Professional University, said: “We selected Pearson VUE to deliver our exams so
that we can provide the biggest test centre reach possible for our candidates
in India and around the world. The Pearson VUE brand adds value to our entrance
examinations because of the high standards of quality, exam security, and
customer service associated with it.”
