    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.

    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
