Can you suggest some B-schools that I can get? I am expecting 80 percentile in XAT'16 & have a good academic profile.

It is not necessary to conduct CAT, MAT, or XAT tests for MBA in Hospitality and Tourism admission in Lovely Professional University (LPU). The only basic eligibility criterion is graduation with at least 55% marks, and admission is substantially through the LPUNEST entrance exam or, in some instances, a valid CAT score. MAT and XAT, though, are not specified as compulsory or standard entrance exams for this course at LPU. Students can get admission by either appearing in LPUNEST or by scoring in CAT, but the selection of CAT, MAT, or XAT is not obligatory if you choose LPUNEST instead.

Yes, you can join GIBS Business School without XAT scores. GIBS accepts a variety of entrance exam scores, such as CAT, MAT, CMAT, GMAT, and ATMA, along with other recognised tests. So, even if you don't have a XAT score, you can still apply using scores from these other exams.

GIBS focuses on finding the right fit for its programs, and besides entrance exam scores, other factors like academic performance, personal interview, and overall profile are considered. This makes GIBS a flexible and accessible option for those interested in pursuing a PGDM, which is equivalent to an MBA.

Admission to PGDM programme is based on a valid CAT/XAT/CMAT score in IMI Kolkata. So candidates must appear for the CAT/XAT/CMAT exam.  XAT 2024 registration is ongoing. Candidates can visist the official XAT website xatonline.in to register for the XAT exam. The XAT 2024 registration last date is Nov 30 2023. Candidates must fill their forms before the deadline to be able to appear in the XAT exam 2024. This year, the XAT exam fee has been increased to INR 2,100.
