How to read it
A higher score moves you into a higher category and gives a larger fee waiver. Because the test is held in phases, early phases may carry better scholarship terms, so check the rules before choosing a slot. Qualifying marks above a minimum are also required for admission, and the exact figure is on the LPU page.
