    No, it is not compulsory to give CAT, MAT, or XAT exams for admission to the MBA in Hospitality and Tourism program at LPU. LPU offers direct admission to its MBA programs, including the specialization in Hospitality and Tourism, based on the eligibility criteria set by the university.

    Applicants must meet the minimum academic requirement, which typically includes having a bachelor's degree in any discipline with a certain percentage (usually around 50% or more). Additionally, candidates can also appear for the LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test), which serves as an alternative to other compet

    No, it is not compulsory to appear for CAT, MAT, or XAT for admission to the MBA in Hospitality and Tourism at LPU. Admission can be granted based on LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test) or through qualifying exam marks.

    However, if a candidate has a valid score in CAT, MAT, XAT, or any other national-level management entrance exam, they may be exempted from LPUNEST. Additionally, LPUNEST can also help students secure scholarships.

    Therefore, while national-level tests are not mandatory, they can be beneficial for exemptions and competitive advantages in admissions.

    Hello readers. I hope all are good. No, it is not compulsory to appear for CAT, MAT, or XAT for admission to the MBA in Hospitality and Tourism at LPU. LPU offers direct admission to this program based on merit (your past academic performance, especially in graduation), and they also conduct their LPU-NEST (National Entrance and Scholarship Test) for students seeking admission based on their performance in the test.

    However, if you have already appeared for and scored well in CAT, MAT, or XAT, LPU may consider these scores as part of their admission process, which could strengthen your application or make you eligible for scho

    No, taking the CAT, MAT, or XAT is not required in order to get admitted to Lovely Professional University's (LPU) MBA program in hospitality and tourism. This concentration is one of several admissions tracks that LPU provides for its MBA programs.

    LPU offers its own admission exam, LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National admission and Scholarship Test), for MBA candidates who have not taken national management entrance tests like CAT, MAT, or XAT. Based on their results, students might be eligible for admission and scholarships through LPUNEST, which doubles as an entrance exam and a scholarship examination.

    Hello Tanya
    LPU, you have to give at least one entrance exam whether it is CAT, MAT, XAT, or LPUNEST. Although, it is written on their website, and you have to check what are the minimum marks required in any one of these exams to take admission for an MBA.
    All the best

    Hi there, it is not compulsory. But if you have already qualified these tests, then that score is valid for admission. However, LPU conducts it s own entrance exam as well - LPUNEST.
