Lloyd Excellence Scholarship policy
The live Scholarship page calls the scheme the Lloyd Excellence Scholarship and bases eligibility on a student’s first-year CGPA. It also requires the student to remain in good academic, attendance and disciplinary standing. The page gives three award bands:
There is a boundary question to resolve before relying on this table: both Gold and Silver include a CGPA of 9.0 as written. The page does not explain which category applies at exactly 9.0, whether the displayed ranges are rounded, or whether another calculation rule controls. Do not assume that 9.0 automatically qualifies for the higher award. Ask the scholarship office to confirm the exact inclusive boundaries and the CGPA rounding method for your result.
The page says the award is paid by cheque in the second year, after the first-year performance is known. It also makes the grant subject to verification and authentication of documents, and says the final award declaration depends on top-management discretion. That means a student should distinguish meeting a published CGPA threshold from receiving a confirmed award: standing, document checks and the institution’s final declaration remain part of the stated process.
A further cost point appears in the terms: if a student is entitled to an award, is admitted, and later applies for a fee refund, the scholarship value may be deducted. The page does not provide a worked refund example or explain how this interacts with each component of the fee schedule. Before accepting an offer, ask for the written withdrawal calculation with and without a scholarship credit, and whether any amount has already been paid or adjusted. Do not treat the award as an upfront tuition waiver: the published page specifies a second-year cheque.
Lloyd Business School scholarships: eligibility, awards and questions
Lloyd Business School’s public scholarship information describes two different records: an undated performance award policy on its Scholarship page, and named award lists in the institution’s mandatory disclosure, including a PGDM list for 2025–26. They are useful evidence of how aid has been described and awarded, but they do not establish a dated scholarship schedule for the 2027–28 intake. Confirm the applicable policy and award terms in writing before reducing your budget by an expected scholarship.
What the 2025–26 disclosure records
Lloyd’s mandatory disclosure includes a section labelled “Vidushi Scholarship” for PGDM (2025–26). The list is numbered through 104 and shows ₹50,000 against each listed entry. This is evidence of a substantial set of recorded awards for that named programme and year. The disclosure lists student names and family names; those identifiers are not needed to assess aid, so this page reports the count and amount without repeating them. The list does not by itself tell a 2027–28 applicant whether the same scheme, eligibility rules, budget or number of awards will continue.
The same disclosure contains a separate table titled “Scholarship based on Merit”. It lists awards from ₹20,000 to ₹40,000 and records “Based On Competitive Exam” or “Lloyd Admission Test” as the basis for individual entries. That table does not display a year beside its heading in the reviewed section. Treat it as an undated historical disclosure, not a current entrance-score scholarship offer or a promise that the same test route is available for the next batch. The current Excellence policy page describes first-year CGPA instead, so the two records should not be collapsed into one policy.
These disclosure lists also use different evidence from the live policy page. The 2025–26 PGDM Vidushi entries document amounts recorded for that cohort; the unversioned Excellence page describes a later-performance award structure without naming a cohort. A student comparing them should ask whether Vidushi is still a distinct scheme, whether it can be combined with an Excellence or merit award, and what the present rules say about programme eligibility. The reviewed public pages do not answer those combination questions.
Questions to settle before enrolling
Ask the scholarship office for the policy applicable to your exact programme and intake, with an effective academic year. Confirm whether the Excellence award is available to all PGDM students or only specified specialisations, what “good standing” means for attendance and discipline, how first-year CGPA is calculated across terms, how ties or rounded scores are handled, and what documents must be submitted. Request the application or automatic-consideration route, the announcement date, the cheque schedule and the process for correcting a missing or inaccurate result.
If you are relying on the disclosure, ask whether the 2025–26 Vidushi list represents completed payments or approved awards, and whether its 104 entries were all for the same intake and eligibility group. For the separate merit table, request a dated scheme notice and the exact examination/session whose scores qualified. Confirm whether awards are renewable, whether the first-year CGPA bands apply to second-year results, and whether a recipient can hold more than one scholarship. These points are not specified on the Scholarship page or clearly joined across the disclosure tables.
Finally, compare a confirmed scholarship against the correct fee schedule only after its payment timing and refund effect are clear. A cheque in year two does not reduce the amount necessarily due at admission. The school’s fee policy is cycle-specific and its 2026 admissions page directs current fee questions to the admissions office; use the written offer and current policy rather than carrying forward an older award or fee figure.
Bottom line
The public Excellence policy offers ₹10,000–₹50,000 based on first-year CGPA and standing, with payment in year two, but its 9.0 boundary and effective intake are unclear. Lloyd’s disclosure records 104 PGDM Vidushi entries of ₹50,000 for 2025–26 and a separate undated merit list. Use these records as evidence of past published awards, then obtain the applicable intake policy and written confirmation before treating aid as part of your 2027–28 funding plan.
