If you are a board topper or a national or international player, then you can get a free seat at LPU. However, a team scrutinises every aspect of your fitness and sport.

The board toppers get 100 percent waive off on tuition fee as well as residential facility. The players get all of this in addition to the mess facility and sports diet. f you are a board topper and someone from the sports category and extracurricular performance category, you will have to either maintain a CGPA or keep performing in sports or extracurricular activities as the case may be. Otherwise, if you have got a scholarship through LPU NEST then you are not bound to maintain your academic or sports performance.

Hope this answers your question.

You get boarding

Hey Satish,

By ‘free seat’, you mean 100% scholarship on tuition fee which is not available in Lovely Professional University if an extremely exceptional co-curricular person who has been awarded International medals. But such things are very unrealistic.

They tend to give 50% (maximum) scholarship to meritorious students and to be eligible for that much scholarship, you will have to score very high in the entrance examination.
