LPU has altered the selection criteria this year due to Covid-19 outbreak and lockdown. Now It includes the basic eligibility in graduation and then an interview. Interview will be conducted to check the communication skills, general knowledge, fluency, critical thought, etc. It is mandatory to get atleast 55% to take admission in Management programme at LPU. After meeting the eligibility norms, you can proceed for admission and can take better slabs of scholarship by taking early decision to take admission. Various scholarships are offered on the basis of merit in previous qualification and on the basis of LPU NEST which serves two purposes: eligibility and scholarship LPU offers three types of MBA I. e. 1.
