The LPU offers special benefits to Board Toppers. LPU gives full programme fee waiver to Top 20 Rank holders of every recognized School Board (State, Central, and Open Board provided a minimum 1000 students should have appeared in the said exam). The benefits of the scheme are as below:

Full programme Fee waiver (Including Examination Fee), and of course, a Free Stay in a four-seater room (Air Cooled Room) in a hostel or Free Transport Facility (if the residential facility is not availed)

Categorization of Ranks awarded by the Board to students

Category-A: Where the board awards one Rank to one student only: Top 20 rank holders of that board will be considered for a scholarship. Category-B: Where board awards the same rank to multiple students:

When the number of students is less than or equal to 20 in the merit list then all the 20 students will be eligible for the scholarship under this scholarship scheme. When the number of students is more than 20 on the merit list then the scholarship will be awarded to students scoring at least 97% marks and to a maximum of 200 students from the list. When the number of students is more than 20 on the merit list and no student has scored more than 97% marks, the equivalent cut-off percentage will be computed taking 100% as base as per the following criteria

Category-C: Open Board, students must have scored at least 90% marks and the above conditions will be applicable as per the merit list

Merit list types, as received from the board or available at their website will be considered for providing the benefits under the board topper scholarship scheme. Merit List-1: Overall merit list of all the subjects combined prepared by the board (This is a preferable type of merit list). Merit List-2: Stream-wise for example

Jammu and Kashmir declare a stream-wise merit list separately for Science, Arts, and Commerce. In such cases, Top 20 students/ Rank holders from each stream will be considered separately as per the above categories (This type of merit list will be considered when the above-stated type of merit list is not prepared by the board or is not available; In case, where both types of merit lists are available, only Merit List-1 will be considered). For more details refer to the official website of LPU.

The student shall maintain a CGPA of 8.00 (or 80% marks in marks-based programs) in the first year (first two semesters), 8.5 CGPA (I. e. 85% marks) in the second year, and 9.0 CGPA (I. e. 90% marks) in the third year. In case the CGPA falls below the prescribed limit, this special scholarship will be withdrawn, and normal scholarship will be applicable in successive years as per the qualifying marks in eligibility qualification or any other criteria as normally applicable. The special scholarship (full tuition fee waiver) will not be continued again on attaining the required conditions in the subsequent semester (s). Result/ CGPA declared till the last date of payment of a fee (without late fee) will be considered for deciding continuation of scholarship for the next term (s).
