    Lovely Professional University (LPU) does not have a fixed cutoff score for its MBA program like some centralized universities. Instead, the eligibility and admission are based on a combination of:

    1. Academic Qualification:

      • You must have a bachelor's degree (in any discipline) with at least 50% aggregate marks from a recognized university.

    2. Entrance Exams:

      • LPU accepts scores from CAT, MAT, XAT, NMAT, CMAT, GMAT, and its own test, LPUNEST.

      • There is no strict cutoff, but higher scores improve your chances of admission and scholarships. For example:

        • MAT: A composite score of 500+

        • CAT: Percentile of 60+
