8 years agoHi Pratik,
Sorry, but I couldn't get if you just don't want to appear for CAT and GMAT or you are not willing to appear for any such entrance exam.
If it is the first case, then you can go other exams XAT, SNAP, etc.
And, if you are not willing to give any such exam, then you can filter the college list that are offering management quota admissions.
But, still, I would suggest you to go for the entrance exams and try to crack good b-school. It would be worth it then.
Good Luck. -
Yes, it is not compulsory to appear for CAT GMAT instead of that you should try XAT NMAT, MSCET, SNAP etc. -
Hello,

Yes, you can do. You should also have a minimum of 50%-60% in UG (any stream) for admission in the same. Admission in MBA is done on the basis of entrance exam followed by interview and GD. There are some private colleges which give direct admission.
The best colleges are:
Department of Management Studies, IIT Delhi
Xavier's Labour Relations Institute, Jamshedpur (accepts XAT)
Lovely Professional University, Punjab (accepts/CAT/MAT/XAT/LPUNEST)
Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi (own test)
Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon
Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM), Trichy
Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, M...more -
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.
