No you have to appear in separate exams. Let me introduce you to the design careers since you seem to be creative. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design and Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, and of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills and knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, and Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching and imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills and imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world and hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into design http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Only CAT and GMAT scores are accepted in the PGDM General and PGDM International Business programs.
But if you are interested in PGDM Retail Management and PGDM Insurance Business Management, then you can apply through CAT, GMAT, CMAT, XAT and MAT scores to these programs.
If you had not given CAT exam, I can infer that MBA wasn't your first priority this Season or some unavoidable circumstances. Anyways if you have time, I mean if you are kinda young, and not in your 30s, I would suggest you to take a break, have some work experience, explore other options for 1 or 2 years. And then you can always come back to MBA.
Make your decision after thinking properly.
For any further doubts, feel free to ask.
