LPU provides two convenient options for MBA aspirants to fulfill the entrance exam requirement. Candidates can either take the university's own entrance and scholarship test, LPUNEST, or they can submit scores from several widely recognized national entrance exams. The accepted national exams include CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, and CUET. This dual approach ensures a flexible and accessible admission process for a broad range of applicants, allowing them to leverage existing test scores while also providing a dedicated pathway for those who wish to apply directly to LPU.
hi, LPU accepts scores from major national management entrance exams such as CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, and NMAT for admission to its MBA programs. Candidates with valid scores in these tests are given preference and may be exempted from appearing in LPU’s own entrance exam. For those without national test scores, LPU conducts its own test called LPUNEST (Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test), which serves both as an entrance exam and a scholarship gateway. Based on the entrance score, shortlisted candidates must submit a video essay and attend a personal interview as part of the final selection process.
