Lovely Professional University (LPU) provides financial aid opportunities for lateral entry students that are determined by a mix of academic success in their previous diploma or college studies and scores from the LPUNEST entrance examination. The main requirements for most lateral entry programs (such as B.Tech lateral entry) include:
Diploma Scores: To qualify for a scholarship, candidates must achieve an aggregate score of between 60% and 75% in their diploma, though this varies by program. Higher scores, for instance, over 75%, typically lead to larger tuition reductions of about 50% to 60%.
LPUNEST Results: The results from the university’s entrance exam categorize scholarship levels, with those scoring in the top decile (90th percentile and above) eligible for fee reductions between 30% to 50%.
Other Considerations: Some scholarships factor in achievements outside academics, including sports performance, extracurricular activities, or financial circumstances.
Scores from Class 12 are typically not a major consideration for scholarships for lateral entry students, as the focus for admissions and financial assistance is primarily on diploma results and LPUNEST performance. Nonetheless, outstanding Class 12 scores (85% or higher) can enhance applications for merit-based and need-based scholarships.
As an illustration, a B.Tech lateral entry student who achieves 80% in their diploma and a 95th percentile in the LPUNEST can qualify for a 40% tuition reduction, while a student with 70% in diploma and an 85th percentile in LPUNEST may receive a 25% concession. It is advisable to check the specific requirements for each program through LPU’s scholarship website or directly speak with the admissions office for personalized advice.
hope this helps.
