Hi, Let me share the eligibility criteria that will clarify all your doubts. In order to take admission in MBA the eligibility criteria needs to be MET in LPU. The eligibility is 55% + LPUNEST/CAT/MAT/XAT/NMAT/CMAT+ Interview or Completed Company Secretary CS from Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) or Completed Chartered Accountancy CA from Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) or Completed Cost & Management Accountancy (CMA) from Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI). Let me share with you interview competencies that are tested as part of MBA interviews in LPU. The various parameters includes Fluency, Grammatical errors, elaboration of the concept, Clarity in thought process, Confidence, General Awareness, and leadership quality. In LPU when you sit for an MBA interview there are 2 panelists one from the core domain and the other from soft skills to assess you on speaking skills. Both the panelists will be rating you on the competency and a score will be generated. On the basis of the cut-off score only you will be considered as qualified or not. Hence, whatever is the specialisation that you are wishing to opt for the faculty of the core domain will be checking you on that and keeping in mind the above competencies stated. And Yes, you will be checked about the General Awareness so you need to keep yourself up to date. You will be asked questions related to your graduation degree and what made you go for MBA as well. So, kindly prepare the justification for that. So, all the best. Stay confident and answer the questions logically keeping the above-stated factors in mind. As what questions will come your way depend upon the panelists but the factors on which you are going to be tested remain the same. Some common guidelines for appearing for Interview. 1. Ensure the web camera is working fine 2. You audio piece equipment needs to be working fine. 3. Test the audio and video before appearing for interview. 4. There should not be anyone else in the room. 5. Find a quiet place around. 6. Keep the camera at a steady position. 7. Do not sound too casual All the Best ! Thanks.

Moreover, I would suggest you go through NIRF rankings 2020 for B-Schools and plan accordingly. LPU has been ranked 50th.

Hi Sakshi, LPU considers a valid score of CAT XAT MAT and CMAT. But they do not consider GMAT. LPU conducts its own Entrance exam till previous year I. e. LPU NEST. Thus, candidate had to qualify LPU NEST and Interview both be eligible to get Admission in MBA. It was not an easy task for below average candidate. To tame down the effect of COVID-19, this year, LPU has relaxed the eligibility criteria. LPU NEST is not mandatory now, still candidates has to qualify the Interview. If I am not wrong, minimum 55% marks are required in graduation for the eligibility criteria. Nutshell: GMAT or LPU NEST is not required, you must have minimum 55% aggregate marks in graduation and you have to qualify the Interview as well. Although to increase the scholarship amount, you can take LPU NEST. All the best.
