6 years agoNo, it is not. In fact, CAT is the most inflexible and random exam you can take. If you are not a good test taker, you will struggle to get into a decent college through CAT. You just get ONE SHOT at the exam each year. If you cant hold your nerves, you will have wait another year to find out if you can hit that 99. percentile score. If you are experienced or if you have a good overall profile, consider taking GMAT/GRE. These exams are much more predictable and flexible. You don't have to wait for an entire year to retake these. All the best! Hope this helps. -
CAT is accepted by all the IIMs and other major B-schools but it is not mandatory for admission in every Indian college. Many colleges have their own entrance exam. -

Either CAT/MAT/CMAT is considered so give all of them. Also, a good percentage is needed. GDPI performance is a key factor in the best schools.

No, CAT is the desire which an individual thrive to get into IIMs across the country which are the best premier institutes for MBA. Apart from the CAT, it is not mandatory but still it has upper edge over others.
There are other exams like XAT, MAT, SNAP, MH-CET, NMAT, etc. through which you can get best B-Schools. -
CAT is mainly for IIMs, but other colleges also do accept CAT scores. If you are looking for other than IIMs, then you can appear for MAT which is easier than CAT. Some colleges have their own entrance examinations. -
