Hello!
Yes you can apply for CAT but I would suggest you to not make CAT as the only target, have a look over other options as well. There are many renowned B school which conduct their own entrance exam such as MAT XAT IIFT NMAT SNAP CMAT LPU NEST and few more. I have appeared for LPU NEST as well that is the entrance exam for Lovely Professional University. Whenever we talk about MBA institute, the first institute which comes in our mind is IIM, But what if I say it is not just IIM there are lot of other options as well. Most MBA aspirants target IIM, but what if you get best of the facilities in your reach. Punjab is the hub of education in India since last few years. Being a counselor I am listing few options. There are many top ranked MBA colleges in India which provide quality education. Few of the Best MBA colleges in Punjab are PTU, GNU, Lovely Professional University, Thapar, and few more. Now Question is how to decide which will give us quality education? MBA is not a classroom programme, it needs complete exposure. So I will list few factors which will help you to choose better. MBA College or University should have the following features:
1. Experienced and well qualified Faculty
2. National and International Exposure
3. Live Projects
4. Internship Assistance
5. Practical Based Teaching Pedagogy
6. Professional Enhancement
7. Infrastructure
8. Accreditation and Ranking
9. Entrepreneurship Training
10. Placements
I hope I have covered all the major points to be checked before choosing a MBA college. As per my experience, I would say LPU has all of these features which makes it among the Top MBA colleges in India. Many of my students have done MBA from LPU, also I am in touch with many of their Alumni's who are currently working in great companies at high positions. LPU has recently marked among Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020. Also, LPU has won National Employability Award 2020.
