Hi, Yes, you can take admission in LPU with 80 percentile in MAT. Though this achieving score will not describe MBA eligibity criteria or admission criteria but hopefully help one to avail maximum scholarship benefits. Lets discuss how? FYI, To be the part of this professional course LPU eligibility criteria for this course says that student need to get 55% marks in his/her graduation + need to give Interview. To avail maximum scholarship one can appear for Lovely Professional University National Level Exam and get a benefits on his/her basic programme fee per semester. In case you appear in both than the maximum score/percentile you get among one of the national level exams I. e. MAT/LPUNEST will be considered. Hope this information helps. Thank You.

Yes, you can get admission to Lovely Professional University (LPU) for an MBA with an 80th percentile in the MAT (Management Aptitude Test). LPU accepts MAT, CAT, XAT, CMAT, NMAT, and GMAT scores for MBA admissions. Since you have a good MAT percentile, you may be exempted from LPUNEST, which is LPU's entrance and scholarship test. Your admission will also depend on meeting the minimum eligibility criteria, which requires a bachelor's degree with at least 55% aggregate marks (50% for certain categories). Additionally, LPU offers scholarships based on MAT scores, so with an 80th percentile, you might qualify for a tuition fee concession. You will also need to go through a Personal Interview (PI) round, as part of the final selection process. It is recommended to check LPU's official website or contact their admissions office for the latest updates on cutoffs, scholarships, and admission procedures.
