LPU Scholarship - Eligibility Criteria, Types, Amount

LPU offers scholarships based on a student’s performance in the LPUNEST exam. There are four scholarship brackets—Category A, B, C and D—based on score cut-offs. Higher scores place students in higher categories with larger fee reductions. All programmes follow the same structure, where each group receives a fixed percentage of scholarship depending on the LPUNEST category achieved. Better scores lead to higher scholarship benefits across all programme groups.

Scholarships at LPU are awarded based on a candidate’s performance in the LPUNEST exam. There are four scholarship brackets, determined by the candidate’s LPUNEST score relative to the cut-offs for Category A, B, C, and D. A higher LPUNEST score places the student in a higher scholarship category. The scholarship percentage for each programme is then applied according to these categories.

The scholarship structure for all programmes is presented in the table below.

Scholarship Brackets

For each category, there are three brackets of Scholarship (Bracket 1, 2 and 3) that are defined. Each bracket has its own respective criteria that need to be met for availing the applicable scholarship. Therefore, the students meeting the requirement of Bracket- 1 gets the highest Scholarship and those in Bracket - 2 or 3 get a relatively lesser scholarship amount.

Scholarship Phases

Admissions in LPU are done in different phases, which are bifurcations of the admission time period. The amount of scholarship also depends on the phase in which the candidate takes admission to the university. Phase I starts as early as January and continues till the end of April. The subsequent phases, Phase II, III, IV, and V, are conducted only if the seats in the concerned programme remain vacant. The amount of scholarship reduces with each passing phase and no scholarship is offered in Phase V (if conducted).
