    Hi Tamanna,
    Yes, definitely, as this year LPU's eligibility criteria exempts the requirement of an entrance exam or any other national level test. To apply for admission in MBA 2020, candidate should have passed with 55 percentages of marks in graduation and has to qualify an interview conducted by LPU.
    For the interview, the candidate can appear through an online video mode.
    There is an option if candidate wishes to avail scholarship than candidate can apply for LPUNEST also.
    All the best for your future.

    Yes, you can get into LPU if you pass the LPUNEST examination, which is an entrance exam. If you pass this test, you will not only be admitted to LPU, but you will also be eligible for a scholarship.
    The following are the eligibility requirements (Qualifying Exam)
    Subject to qualifying LPUNEST or CAT or MAT or XAT or NMAT or CMAT and Interview, pass with 55 percent aggregate marks in Bachelors degree (any discipline) or equivalent.
    The LPUNERST test and interview are so simple; you can even creak it.
    Hope this information helpful!

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience. Yes, you are fairly within touch, but I would encourage you to have a solid overall profile as well to increase your chances of admission.
