I scored 54 percentile in CAT 2017. In which college shall I get admission?

hey,

Yes, it is possible to obtain an MBA from Lovely Professional University (LPU) without having taken the CAT or MAT examinations. LPU has its own entrance examination known as the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test), which provides an alternative admission route for the MBA program.

To qualify, you must have earned a bachelor's degree with a minimum aggregate score of 55% in any field. If you have not taken any national management entrance tests like CAT, MAT, XAT, NMAT, or CMAT, you can choose to take the LPUNEST instead. The admission procedure also requires submitting a video essay and participating in a personal interview to evaluate your communication abilities and fit for the program.

It is essential to understand that while the LPUNEST is mandatory for applicants lacking national exam results, it also creates opportunities for scholarships based on your test performance. Hence, even without CAT or MAT scores, you still possess a valid option to gain entry into LPU's MBA program via the LPUNEST.

For the latest and most precise details, it is recommended to visit the official LPU admissions webpage or to reach out directly to their admissions office.

hope this helps.

Provided that you meet the relevant CAT eligibility criteria and cut-off from the participating colleges in Andhra Pradesh, you should be able to secure a seat with CAT based criteria for MBA. There are IIM's (IIM Visakhapatnam), all kinds of private universities, etc., which are accepting CAT scores. The availability of a seat will depend on your score, marks scored in prior educational status, which reservation you qualify for. As far as our guesses go, I would say for a general category, aiming for 85 percentile and above is required to get into most reputed colleges. Some reputed private colleges will accept lower percentiles. The admission procedure includes group discussion and personal ability tests and written tests. It is advisable to check when their application closing dates are and prepare yourself. Andhra Pradesh has a good mix bag of Government and Private colleges which are near perfect in placements.
