Dear Kamaldas ,LPU offers scholarships for the PhD in Management mainly based on performance in the LPUNEST (PhD) entrance test. Higher scores receive higher scholarship categories, which can significantly reduce the program fee. Candidates with NET, JRF, GATE or equivalent national-level qualifications receive even larger scholarships and fee relaxations. LPU also provides its own Research Fellowship, which offers a monthly stipend to selected full-time scholars based on merit and research potential. For OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates, LPU provides a relaxation in eligibility criteria, making it easier to qualify for admission. The scholarship is merit-based, not caste-based.
