No, you can also go for MAT, CMAT, IIFT, SNAP and NMAT. All the best. You will get a good college if you clear any of the exams above. CAT is only important to get admission in IIMs.

No, but better to give CAT examination, because MBA from any IIM is a miracle in itself. You can also do MBA from any other private colleges without CAT, but all good private colleges takes CAT performance. So, I will suggest you to give CAT examination. Best of luck. For MBA in abroad, you have to give GMAT exam.

No, I won't say that it is mandatory but if you try it will be a better option. Otherwise, you can also get admission by taking entrance exams of different institutions and scoring well. But, CAT will definitely give your career a boost.
