Hello! Yes, it is the best way as all the Iims and some major non-Iims accept its scores for their admission processes. However, there are other exams too like XAT SNAP NMAT, CET, IIFT etc. Which can also get you similar top-ranked colleges. Good luck!
P. S. No reputed college gives direct admission. -
CAT is the one exam, on the basis of which you can get calls from Iims and other colleges. But you can also go for GMAT NMAT, CMAT and MAT. -
