Scholarship PhD Manegmeat obc scholarship PhD

Dear Kamaldas ,LPU offers scholarships for the PhD in Management mainly based on performance in the LPUNEST (PhD) entrance test. Higher scores receive higher scholarship categories, which can significantly reduce the program fee. Candidates with NET, JRF, GATE or equivalent national-level qualifications receive even larger scholarships and fee relaxations. LPU also provides its own Research Fellowship, which offers a monthly stipend to selected full-time scholars based on merit and research potential. For OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates, LPU provides a relaxation in eligibility criteria, making it easier to qualify for admission. The scholarship is merit-based, not caste-based.

Are LPU Online courses good? How can I take admission?

LPU Online courses are considered good and credible, as they are recognized by the UGC-DEB and offer a flexible, industry-aligned curriculum via an efficient Learning Management System (LMS). To gain admission, you must sign up on the LPUADMIT portal, apply for the course, and then clear the necessary eligibility criteria or entrance process, which often involves the LPUNEST (LPU National Entrance and Scholarship Test).

I need to apply for LPU certificate. Please help!

To obtain a certificate from LPU, access the University Management System (UMS) portal using your login details. Navigate to the "Certificate Request" area, complete the digital form, attach required documents like ID and fee receipts, and submit the online payment. You can track your application status directly via UMS.
