Hello Ashish,
CAT is compulsory only for applying in IIMs and few other institutes such
Nirma, Ahmedabad
IRMA, Anand
FMS, Delhi
and few more.
But all the other institutes also consider CMAT, GMAT, XAT, MAT, etc.
So if you considering specific colleges to apply in you should visit their website and check their criteria. -
The score obtained in CAT no doubt serves as a great benefit for seeking admission in the top most business schools. But there are certain colleges that may not consider your CAT score or any other score of such sort as they may have there own Common Enterance Test ie. CET. Students qualifying CET may appear for the Personal Interview round.
