    No, you do not need to apply separately for the IBSAT exam if you have already scored well in the CAT or NMAT exams. As per the latest guidelines of the ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education, which conducts the IBSAT you are eligible for admission into IB colleges with other management test scores apart from the IBSAT. From 2020 onwards, the following exam scores are accepted for admission to the MBA courses:

No, NMAT is not compulsory to get admission into the PGPM course at Athena School of Management, because the school also accepts several other entrance examination scores for admission to this management course, such as NMAT/ GMAT/ CAT/ ASAT - Athena Scholastic Ability Test. Therefore, NMAT is one of the accepted entrance exams for admission to the PGPM course. However, it is not compulsory. Therefore, candidates with relevant scores in any of the following entrance exams can get admission to PGPM courses.

NMAT scores are accepted for admission at more than 50 b-schools. There is no common admission policy for all NMAT participating colleges. All participating colleges for NMAT will set its own eligibility conditions, cutoff scores, academic requirements, work experience preference, and selection process.

Some of the NMAT participating colleges may have selection rounds, such as Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), or Personal Interview (PI). Some b-schools may have more weightage for NMAT scores, while some might have more weightage for the internal selection rounds.

NMAT scaled scores are based on the raw exam score after adjusrting for the difficulty level of the exam version. The scaled score helps ensure fairness across different test slots. Whereas, the NMAT percentile score was calculated earlier to evaluate candidates on a relative scale. Lately, GMAC dropped releasing the NMAT percentile score. NMAT scorecard hosts the NMAT scaled score for all three sections as well as the overall scaled score of the candidate.
