Is it compulsory to clear CAT to get admission in IIM? Is CMAT not acceptable there?

IIMs do not accept other entrance exams except CAT. So, you need to crack CAT to get a call from IIMs. Good luck.

Yes, it is compulsory to clear CAT for taking admission in IIMS for MBA. CAT is quite tough from CMAT.

CMAT is not acceptable by any of the IIMs. You have to take CAT in order to secure admission into any of the IIMs.

No, admission to Iims is not possible with CMAT scores as Iims only accept CAT scores for admission. CAT or CMAT exam is not compulsory for MBA. There are a host of other MBA entrance exams similar/equivalent to CAT like XAT. Several institutes have their own entrance exams like NMAT for NMIMS, TISS, SNAP for Symbiosis, IIFT CET for Maharashtra institutes, MICA, etc.

Giving the CAT exam in order to pursue an MBA/PGDM at an IIM is required. It is impossible to enroll in IIMs without taking the CAT. CMAT is acceptable in other Top AICTE approved MBA/PGDM colleges like GIBS Bangalore, etc.

Hi. Rajesh. For getting chance into the college like Iims you should have to clear the CAT exam only with high score along with cracking the interview round. Whereas the CMAT is accepted with AICTE approved B-School and some of the best B-School like GIBS Bangalore, christ University, Jain University etc.

Admission to Indian Institutes of Management (Iims) is primarily based on the Common Admission Test CAT scores. CAT is a national level entrance exam conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management for admission to various management programs in Iims and other top B-Schools in India. However, some Iims also accept other entrance exam scores such as the Common Management Admission Test CMAT for admission to their management programs. But it's important to note that the weightage given to the entrance exam score may vary for different Iims and their management programs. For instance, IIM Indore considers CAT GMAT and GRE scores for admission to its management programs, while IIM Rohtak accepts CAT GMAT and CMAT scores. Similarly, other Iims have their own criteria and weightage for selecting candidates based on entrance exam scores. Therefore, it's important to check the admission criteria of each IIM and their respective management programs to know which entrance exam scores are accepted and the weightage given to them in the selection process. All the best!

For IIMS, a score in CAT is considered. CMAT scores are not eligible to apply.
