    CAT is conducted for admissions into IIMs but most of the colleges in India accept CAT score for admissions. Apart from CAT you can go for XAT, CMAT, CETs and other exams conducted by few colleges like SNAP, NMAT, etc.
    Please note that no good college will grant an admission without an entrance test.

    CAT is compulsory for IIMs and some other A grade colleges also consider CAT score. But for XLRI you need to give XAT and there are other decent colleges which take admissions on MAT and CMAT scores too.

    No. CAT is not compulsory for all the colleges in India. There are several other exams like XAT, CMAT, MAT etc. CAT has to be given mandatorily if you are aspiring for IIMS.

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.
