Yes, you can. You can go for NMAT, IIFT SNAP CMAT MHCET XAT etc. However, a lot of these exams have syllabus similar to CAT. So, I would recommend you to give CAT as well, as more colleges take CAT score than these exams scores.

You can opt for other exams also like CMAT and MAT, which are comparatively easy. You will get good colleges. However, if you don't want to appear in any exams, then also you can get colleges for MBA.

IIM Calcutta has only mentioned accepting GMAT score for admission into EMBA courses.

However, CAT is commonly accepted by other similar institutes for both MBA and MBAEx courses. Thus, candidates are advised to ask admission desk for confirmation on this question.

Is a score of 85% in CAT enough to secure MBA admission at IIM Calcutta?

Saurabh Khanduri

It is not possible to determine a candidate's admission in IIM Calcutta MBA course through CAT score alone. In Stage 1, a score 85% in CAT will be enough for a general category candidate to be selected for PI+WAT admission stage.

Final admission cutoffs are based on many factors other than CAT score.
