MBA Admission without MAT or any other entrance exam is possible but it is mandatory for candidates to fulfill the MBA eligibility criteria to get direct admission to a UGC/AICTE-approved university or college.

It depends on the college you wish to take admission in. If you want admission in a good college then it is compulsory to clear any of the exams among CAT, MAT, XAT, CET, NMAT etc.

Hello friend, MAT is one of the MBA entrance exams other than CAT, XAT, NMAT, IIFT, TISS, GMAT, college's own entrance test, etc. You have to clear any of these entrance exams to get admission in a good MBA college. All the best.

MAT is very easy as compared other entrance exams like XAT, CAT, SNAP, IIFT, IBSAT, CMAT etc. There are 5 sections in MAT exam given equal weightage to all sections. Score as highest as you can and let me know if you need any further guidance. All the best.
