I am not appearing for CAT exam but I want to study MBA or PGDM from IIM only. What should I do?

You have to give the exam. There is no other way. Preferably join a classroom coaching centre and be sincere to it and you will crack the exam. All the Best! -
CAT is conducted by IIMs only for their selection. All other institutes are just using the CAT score. You want to go to IIM without appearing for CAT. This is the dumbest question I ever heard. -

7 years agoCAT is the only way to get into any IIM, in fact it's the very first stage to get admission into IIM that you should qualify in entrance exam, so without giving it you can't enter IIMs. -
HelloCAT or GMAT is necessary to take admission in IIMS . Without CAT there is no chance of admission in IIMS. Because all seats fill through these exams.
Hope this helps you.
thanks
Best of luck -

It is not possible to enter any IIM without CAT exam because CAT exam is the only source for getting admission in IIM. -
There is no other way apart from appearing for the CAT exams to get into IIMS. Prepare well. Good luck.

There is no other way than CAT to get admission in IIMs. IIMs call students on the basis of their CAT score.
Good luck. -
In today's time, all we want is a high placement from a college, so prefer the best college for MBA. No matter from where you pursue your Bachelor's degree, go for CAT preparation. If you will score around 99-100 percentile, you may get a call from IIM. -
No, it's not possible because without writing their exam how will they take you in so, better you should appear for CAT.
