Hi,Yes, earlier it was mandatory to qualify interviews after cracking an entrance exam. But now due to pandemic situations across the country, LPU has relaxed their prospective students and exempted them to appear in an exam of LPU NEST. This year eligibility criteria to pursue MBA from middle school of business is that candidates must have 55% aggregate marks in any graduation and the candidate must have to qualify an interview. Lpu Nistara is exempted however one can appear in this exam to get or to enhance scholarship amount. All the best for your future.
