Search for beyond the standard model physics at the LHC

Both CMS and ATLAS collaborations have performed searches for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics in a variety of final states using the proton-proton collision data collected during the LHC Run 1 at the center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=7-8TeV. In this paper, a review of recent results from these searches are presented. Future prospects for these searches from the LHC experiments are also discussed.
