    LPU's estimated CAT cutoff (for admission into the MBA program) is approximately 40-45 percentile for the General category, and this cutoff is standard for all the MBA specializations, including MBA, MBA (Hons), MBA in Financial Markets, MBA in Business Analytics, MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, MBA in International Business, MBA in Hospital & Health Care Management, and MBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management. 

    LPU also considers MAT / CMAT / NMAT / LPUNEST and each of the exams mentioned has their own expected cutoffs (initial estimates):

    - MAT=67 to 70 percentile
    - CMAT=70 percentile
    - NMAT=90 to 92 percentile

    Dear reader,

    MBA at LPU is a great option.

    For admission to Lovely Professional University's MBA program, a CAT score in the 60-70 percentile is usually preferred.  In addition, the institution administers its own entrance exam, LPUNEST, and accepts results from other national-level tests like MAT, XAT, and CMAT.  Along with academic achievement and a personal interview, one of the main requirements for admission is meeting the required percentile.

    For more details kindly contact their concerned department.

    I hope this information helps.

    Hello,

    LPU accepts CAT scores for MBA admissions, but there is no fixed CAT cutoff for admission. Instead, LPU provides admission based on a combination of factors, including academic performance, entrance exam scores, and personal interviews. A CAT percentile above 70-80 can strengthen your application, but students with lower scores can also apply through LPUNEST, which is LPU's entrance test for MBA admissions.

    LPU offers a highly recognised MBA programme with specializations in Finance, Marketing, HR, Business Analytics, International Business, and more. The university provides excellent industry exposure, internships, and placement

    The desired CAT percentile for admission to the MBA programme at Lovely Professional University (LPU) is at least 80. However, passing the CAT exam is not mandatory for admission. If you don't qualify for the CAT, you can take the LPUNEST exam conducted by LPU. You'll also need to pass an interview exam. 
     
    Here are some other eligibility criteria for the MBA programme at LPU:
    • You must have a bachelor's degree with at least 55% aggregate marks
    • You can also apply if you have a Company Secretary (CS) or Chartered Accountancy (CA) or Cost & Management Accountancy (CMA) qualification

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience. Yes, you are fairly within touch, but I would encourage you to have a solid overall profile as well to increase your chances of admission.
