    LPU recognizes that pursuing a PhD comes with financial challenges and provides multiple scholarship/fellowship options to support research scholars. One major route is via LPUNEST (PhD) performance: depending on how well you score (Category A, B, C etc.), you may receive a substantial percentage fee waiver. For full-time PhD scholars, fee waivers go as high as 60% in top categories; part‐time scholars also get waivers, though smaller. The scholarship via LPUNEST is applicable for up to 3.5 years.
