Yes it is possible to get admission to the M.A (History)Program at Lovely Professional University(LPU) with a 65% in your graduation, but it depends on a few factors such as the specific eligibility requirements for the program, the overall the demand and whether you meet other criteria set by the university. While the University may not require a specific entrance exam for this program, the overall selection will depend on your academic background and the availability of seats it's always best to verify the specific requirements for the program on the official LPU website or by contacting the Admission office for any updated or detailed information regarding eligibility and the admission process.
