LPU does not strictly require CAT for admission to its MBA program. Admission can be based on LPU’s own entrance test, LPUNEST, or academic performance in graduation. Candidates can also be considered through other qualifying exams or merit criteria specified by the university. It’s important to check the official admission guidelines and apply accordingly to secure a seat.
