Cat is undoubtedly the best test for admission in MBA colleges but it is not the only test for MBA admission. There are several other tests also like MAT, XAT etc, moreover a lot of institutes like IIFT. NIMS etc conducts their separate tests -

Most of the reputed colleges accept CAT score- like all IIMs, IRMA, MDI, FMS, JBS.
