No, for getting admission in MBA, you have to qualify any one of the entrance exam. Without entrance exam, you can not get admission in a reputed college. So, my advice to you is that you should qualify any entrance exam so that you can easily get admission.

2. By management quota or by giving donations, you can get it directly. -
