    CAT Is important for getting admission for MBA courses, but not completely necessary. There are exams like XAT GMAT SNAP CMAT. You can also get admission through these exams too.

    Dear Afsar, No, CAT is not important to take admission in any MBA course. I did my MBA at LPU and talking about the LPU only as every university has its own eligibility. At LPU, instead of CAT you may appear for the LPU NEST exam and can get a scholarship based on it. Moreover, you have to qualify for the interview as well.

    An MBA without a CAT score is possible as many colleges offer MBA without a CAT score. On the contrary, these top MBA colleges do not accept CAT scores for MBA Admission. Although they do not offer MBA without an entrance exam, they strictly offer MBA without a CAT score.
  • If you wish to do MBA in top b-schools like IIM-s, CAT is important. But few have their own entrance exams.
