Question

Sampreet Kaur · Answer

Yes, admission in MBA Banking and Finance is possible after 12th commerce with 67 percent, but first a graduation degree is required in any stream with minimum qualifying marks. The focus should be on choosing a university where curriculum is updated and industry aligned. At LPU, the program structure includes practical exposure, finance labs and internships which help in understanding real banking systems. Placement opportunities are decent, but performance and skills still play a key role in final outcomes.

Hi, Yes, you can take admission in MBA but you have to meet the minimum eligibility criteria i.e. 55% in graduation+Interview. However, there are some exceptions in certain cases of categories. LPU offers different types of scholarships on the basis of marks in either of the last two qualifications, LPUNEST, Sports, Defence, COVID-19 Frontline Scholarship, and many more. If you are eligible for more than one scholarship, only one scholarship you will get is the maximum one. The best thing is if you get the scholarship, the tuition fees after getting a scholarship will be applicable every semester except for a few types of scholarships. The last date for admission to avail maximum scholarship is 31st May 2020. For more information, you can either visit their website or call on their toll-free number- 1800 102 4431, 1800 274 0615.
