Can we get direct admission without qualifying CAT exam? I wish to pursue MBA.

There is no good college in India for pursuing MBA where you can get admission without appearing for an entrance exam and clearing the interview rounds(if shortlisted for them). Apart from CAT, there are other exams too like XAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc through which you can get the top B-Schools.

Not necessarily CAT you can give any other entrance exam as per your college choice. But it is necessary to give entrance exam.

Direct admission is for those who want only a degree. If you really want to achieve something you have to go for CAT, MAT or GMAT.

There are many colleges which don't actually do it, some top ones like LPU conduct Interviews for the intake of MBA and keep the test only for scholarships. You must check how to choose the college: some parameters are: Curriculum : If at all the curriculum is continuously upgraded and developed with consultations and feedback of industry. Pedagogy : The teaching pedagogy forms the backbone of how the programme is delivered, more the practical, better it is. Technology: The businesses and the business functions are now highly tech driven, the MBA programme must have the exposure and training of the same. Entrepreneurship : Even though most of the students go for jobs, the exposure to entrepreneurship is required. This helps the professionals know how the other departments and the profit center heads work, what are the expectations etc. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days, the personality, ethics, virtuous, speech, body language, interpersonal skills etc. Are given high importance in the organisations. The programme must include the training or modules on all these. Community service: A bit of community projects in between the course are very important to develop the humane side of the person as well as learn the organizing skills. Diversity: As he world shrinks into a aligned economy, the professionals will be required to work in cross cultural teams having entirely different work culture and ethos, the national and international diversity of students in a B-School is helpful in enabling the students develop right sensibilities for such work atmosphere. Industry interface: Ultimately its the industry which is going to immerse the students in the placements, the regular industrial talks, interactions, lectures, visits and internships are must have in any MBA programme. This is common to all the specializations. Placements: Since the ultimate aim of attaining a skill/knowledge/degree is to have a career, it is desirable that whichever university you chose, It must have good industry linkages to attract the good recruiters which value fresh talent. In my 16 years of experience I have observed that LPU has excelled in all of these and is now miles ahead of any other major university in India. Its stellar placement record speaks for itself. I hope this helps you DVD.
