    Yes, you can still pursue an MBA at LPU even if you haven't taken the CAT or MAT exams. LPU offers admission to its MBA program through its own entrance exam called LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test).

    If you meet the eligibility criteria (which typically includes having a minimum of 50% marks in your undergraduate degree), you can apply for the MBA program through LPUNEST or through direct admission based on your academic performance. LPU also offers scholarships based on the LPUNEST score and other criteria, which can help reduce the overall cost of education.

    Hello

    A valid score on the LPUNEST, CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, or NMAT is required for admission to LPU's MBA program. LPUNEST is an excellent substitute for taking any of these national-level examinations if a candidate has never taken one of them. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited university with at least 55% of the possible points in order to be eligible. The entrance exam is the first step in the admissions process, and candidates who make the short list next have a personal interview (PI). In order to demonstrate their goals and program fit, applicants might also be asked to produce a video statement of purpose.
