    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.

    LPU offers multiple pathways for MBA admissions:

    1. Through LPU NEST (National Entrance and Scholarship Test): Typically, LPU conducts its own entrance exam called LPU NEST for MBA admissions. However, students can still apply for an MBA program through this exam to be considered for scholarships or other benefits.

    2. Direct Admission without LPU NEST: If you have a valid score in national level entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT, or CMAT, you may be eligible for direct admission

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.
