For 2020 intake, due to Covid-19 outbreak and lockdowns, the selection criteria for MBA has been relaxed a bit, now it includes only a interview via video conferencing. However you have an option to write LPU NEST for scholarships and also you can submit your CAT/XAT result if above 90 percentile and MAT/CMAT/ NMAT score more than 95 percentile for the highest slabs of scholarships. There are a host of other options too for lower percentiles, you must check their website for the same. So yes these examinations will help you get the scholarships, but for selection, Interviews hold the key. DVD. -
