    As per my perspective, I do not think so there is any compulsion to give CAT, MAT, and XAT tests for admission in MBA hospitality and tourism at LPU, but LPU has eligibility criteria that you have to fulfill for getting admission in LPU.
    These are the eligibility Criteria (Qualifying Exam)
    Pass with 55% aggregate marks in bachelor's degree (any discipline) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST or CAT or MAT or XAT or NMAT or CMAT and Interview.

    No, you are not need to take the aforementioned tests in order to be admitted to the LPU MBA programme.
    If you have not taken these exams, you must qualify in the LPU-NEST exam in order to be admitted (after clearing Interview).
    In addition, you can apply for a scholarship based on how well you do on the LPU-NEST exam.

    As the alumni i can suggest you that You must take at least one entrance exam at LPU, whether it is the CAT, MAT, XAT, or LPUNEST. Although it is stated on their website, you must verify the minimum marks required in any of these tests in order to be considered for MBA admission. After that, if you do not fall into any scholarship categories after taking any National Level Entrance Exam, you can apply for scholarships based on your graduation grades. you can also visit the site for detailed information.

    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.
