Yes, you can take admission without CAT. But for that you need to go for other entrance exams, XAT, MAT, GMAT, NMAT, SNAP or ATMA to name some if you are looking for the topmost Colleges. I hope that helps.

Yes, you can take admission without taking any MBA entrance. Mostly, private universities which conduct their own entrance exams for MBA allow you to take admission in that score itself. They don't require you to write any such national level MBA entrances. Amity, LPU, etc. Have their own entrance exams which you can write and take admission then. You can find out more on universities' website or through their toll free numbers.
