How the Fee Concession is Applied — Technical Breakdown
Category Rate is Determined First
When you begin the LPUNEST application, the portal asks your gender and whether you belong to Defence / Kashmiri Migrant / PWD categories. Based on this input, the base fee is set (₹1,500 for general boys, ₹1,250 for general girls, etc.). This happens before any coupon is entered.
Coupon Code Field Appears at Payment Step
On the payment page you will see an optional "Coupon / Referral Code" field. Enter LPUDAI065 exactly as written (case-insensitive, no spaces). The system validates the code against LPU's active coupon registry in real time.
Flat Deduction is Applied
On successful validation, a flat ₹500 discount is deducted for male applicants and ₹250 for female applicants. This deduction is applied on top of your already-category-adjusted base fee. The revised payable amount is displayed before you confirm payment.
Payment Gateway Receives Discounted Amount
Your payment gateway (credit/debit card, UPI, net-banking) is charged only the discounted amount. The coupon savings are not a cashback — they are applied at source so the full reduced amount is what you pay.
Confirmation & Receipt
Your official payment receipt will reflect the discounted fee and note the coupon applied. Keep this receipt — it serves as proof of LPUNEST registration and is required at the time of document verification.
Offline vs Online Fee Comparison
Applicants who pay via bank challan (offline) incur a ₹100 processing charge. Online payment methods (UPI, card, net-banking) have no surcharge. The coupon code LPUDAI065 is valid only for online payment.
| Payment Mode | Boys Pay | Girls Pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online (Card / Net-banking / UPI) | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | After LPUDAI065 coupon |
| Offline (Bank Challan) | ₹1,100 | ₹1,100 | ₹100 bank processing added |
| Online — No Coupon | ₹1,500 | ₹1,250 | Standard rate |
| Offline — No Coupon | ₹1,600 | ₹1,350 | Standard + bank charge |
Best value: Pay online using UPI and apply coupon code LPUDAI065 — you avoid the ₹100 bank surcharge AND get the coupon discount. This gives you the lowest possible application fee.
