Type in the command POINT, enter the Easting and Northing (in that order, since AutoCAD LT takes input in X,Y format).

Repeat for each point.

 

IF you want to import in bulk, you'll need something other than AutoCAD LT.

Using Excel split your data into columns then add a simple formula to create a script as shown in the attached Excel file, from there select all the cells highlighted yellow and press Ctrl+c then in Autocad click inside the command line to make it active (you might need to cick twice - the cursor should be turning on/off in the command line) then press Ctrl+v.

After that you will need to zoom extents to see the points.
