Eligibility criteriaEligibility criteria for the NOP are at least 80% marks in Matriculation exams and financial need. The applicants shortlisted on the above criteria appear in the Preliminary Evaluation Test. After being selected on the basis of this test the students are coached.

Finally, the students who apply to LUMS and qualify on merit, are offered admission on full scholarship. There is no separate quota for NOP candidates. All students, whether they apply directly or through NOP, are evaluated on the same admission criteria.
