    Yes, you can get admission to LPU's MBA program even if you have just passed the CAT exam. LPU considers CAT scores for admission, and if you meet the basic eligibility criteria for graduation marks, you may be exempted from appearing in LPUNEST. LPU's MBA program is highly sought after for its industry-aligned curriculum, global exposure, and exceptional placement record. With collaborations with top companies, hands-on learning, and mentorship from experienced faculty, LPU equips you for a successful career. The university also offers scholarships based on CAT scores, making quality education affordable and accessible.
