The overall expense for education at LPU is highly dynamic, depending on the chosen program (like B.Tech or MBA) and specialization. Your final fee is significantly reduced by competitive scholarships, based on LPUNEST performance and academic merit. Always check the official LPU website for the most accurate and current fee details.

Yes, attaining a 100% scholarship for B.Tech CSE at LPU is possible! The highest scholarship is primarily awarded based on exceptionally high scores in LPUNEST or a high percentile in JEE Mains. Additionally, LPU offers specific Need-Based Financial Aid for students from low-income families, which can be applied for alongside merit scholarships, increasing your overall fee waiver opportunity.
