    If you have not appeared in any of these above mentioned entrance exam you need to sit for the LPUNEST entrance exam conducted by LPU alongwith interview and you can get admission only if you qualify in both.

    No it is not compulsory to appear in CAT, MAT etc for MBA.
    The eligibility of the course is: 55% marks in Bachelors degree (any discipline) + Interview*Interview will be conducted to check the communication skills, general knowledge, fluency, critical thought etc. It is mandatory to get atleast 50% to take admission.
    To take admission you should clear the eligibility norms and you can also plan to appear in LPUNEST to fetch scholarship.

    Hi,
    For admissions 2020, there is a relaxation in the eligibility criteria due to the prevailing situation - COVID19.
    CAT, MAT, and XAT test is not mandatory but you need to clear the interview subject to the eligibility condition. However, you can give LPUNEST for availing the scholarship. The last date of admission is 31-5-2020 to avail the maximum scholarship.

    No, you can also take admission by qualifying LPUNEST and avail scholarships too on its basis.
  • No, it is not compulsory. If you have not qualified CAT/MAT/XAT, in that case, you have to qualify LPUNEST.
    Eligibility criteria for MBA is pass with 50% aggregate marks in graduation or equivalent subject to valid score in LPUNEST-2018 and interview or
    Pass with 50% aggregate marks in graduation or equivalent subject to valid score in CAT/ MAT/ XAT and interview.
    Forms for LPUNEST are already available on website www.lpu.in.

    Being very frank I don't have much knowledge about this so I will advise you to contact directly to the LPU administration office for this. You can find helpline number on internet and then you can enquire further to them.

    Hey dear,
    For MBA in tourism and hospitality, there is no specified percentile though the minimum criteria is 60 percent for getting admissions in LPU in every respective stream.
    If you have a better percentile in undergraduate with good co-curricular background and no character default, you will get a very good scholarship.
    For placements, it depends upon you. While talking about the scenario, there are many companies visiting recruiting the students from MBA with a good package.
    For hospitality and tourism, Oyo, Make My Trip, Go Ibibo and many other companies visited and recruited the candidates. Thank you.

    Where ever you apply for MBA in India you have to give these exams. But in case of LPU, you have two choices either you give these CAT, XAT or there is another exam which is conducted by LPU i.e LPUNEST for MBA.
    But you must have 60% and above in graduation for good start. There is also some scholarships given by LPU on your graduation mark basis.
    All the best!!

    Hi Tanya,
    Hope you are doing well by the way, you can get direct admission in LPU without CAT, MAT and XAT tests I would advise you to apply for LPU NEST (National Entrance & Scholarship Test) it's much easier that way plus it has more scholarship chances but without it also you can take the admission the Eligibility criteria for applying MBA is 50% aggregate in any Bachelors degree. Since you have met the criteria you can go for direct admission.
