    No, CAT is not compulsory for MBA in LPU. While it is one of the accepted entrance exams, you can also apply with scores from LPUNEST, MAT, XAT, CMAT, or NMAT with video essay and interview. Additionally, if you have completed a professional qualification like CA, CS, or CMA, you can also apply without taking any entrance exam with video essay and interview.
