7 years agoThere are a lot of colleges who have their own exams. You can give them and then apply for the respective colleges. Also, there are exams like CMAT and MAT. You can write them and apply for colleges for MBA on the basis of your scores. -
If you missed your CAT exam, I can just write other exams if forms are filled. Or, you can start practicing again for the next year's CAT. -
You can always go for XAT which would give you a chance to get admission into XLRI or you can give SNAP, NMAT, IIFT which will also get you to good B-Schools. However, if you specifically want to go to IIMs, then I am sorry but you will have to apply for CAT again next year. Though the other options that I mentioned are also pretty good.
