    Hi,

    es, it is possible to take admission in the MBA program at Lovely Professional University (LPU) without an entrance exam, but it depends on certain conditions.

In general, as per available education sources, the CAT cutoff for FLAME University lies around 70–75 percentiles for the 2025 admissions. Though this score helps the candidates qualify for the shortlisting stage, FLAME follows a holistic selection process; hence, the final admission also depends on academic records, interviews, and overall profile strength.
