    not 100% true.
    if u appear for cmat or cet MBA or regional recognized exam, it may work since few colleges are OK with accepting such scores too

    No, CAT is not the only exam that will fetch you MBA seat, you have various other options such as MAT, XAT, GMAT etc, and there are other college specific-entrance test too which will be solely designed for a particular college.

    Hello,
    It's not compulsory to take cat exam for applying to all colleges. Cmat, xat, gmat are other competitive exams through which you can apply in B schools.

    All MBA colleges follow the open test route.However the test that they follow could be different.It could be their own test of CAT/XAT/ NMAT/ MAT/ SNAP/ CMAT / XAT etc.
    so its important to first decide which institute you intend to join and then appear for the test that is recognised by it for admissions.

In general, as per available education sources, the CAT cutoff for FLAME University lies around 70–75 percentiles for the 2025 admissions. Though this score helps the candidates qualify for the shortlisting stage, FLAME follows a holistic selection process; hence, the final admission also depends on academic records, interviews, and overall profile strength.
