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.

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.
