Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test

1. LPUNEST (Entrance Exam) Scholarship

The most common way to get a fee waiver is through the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test). The scholarship amount is decided by the "Category" or "Bracket" you fall into based on your rank.

2. Scholarship Based on Previous Qualification

If you have scored exceptionally well in your 12th Board Exams or Graduation, you can get a direct scholarship without depending solely on LPUNEST.

• 95% - 98% Aggregate: Eligible for Scholarship (Max benefits).
• 90% - 94.99% Aggregate: Eligible for Scholarship.
• 80% - 89.99% Aggregate: Eligible for Scholarship.

Note: This applies to recognized boards like CBSE, ICSE, and State Boards.
