Hi!

Common Admission Test (CAT) is the most popular management aptitude test among candidates seeking admission to elite management colleges in India. The  Indian Institutes of Management  (IIMs) only accepts the percentile obtained by candidates in the  CAT  for their MBA programme. Apart from the IIMs, some other top business schools such as  FMS Delhi  , MDI Gurgaon,  IIFT Delhi  , SPJIMR, etc. accept only the scores of the CAT.

However, there are some MBA colleges in India that offers admission to their MBA programme without accepting the CAT scores. To get admission to these colleges, candidates are required to appear for the entrance examinations conducted by these institutions. Candidates must appear for the  XAT  to get admission to XLRI,  SNAP  to get admission to Symbiosis Colleges, NMAT to get admission to NMIMS campuses, and SRCC GBO exam to get admission to Shri Ram College of Commerce.

There are many colleges in the country which accept the scores of various other entrance examination along with the CAT, such as,  IMI Delhi  , FORE School of Management,  TAPMI  , Goa Institute of Management, etc. Appearing for the entrance examination is a pre-requisite condition to get admission to any good MBA college.
