It would depend on what kind of MBA you want to do. There are a lot of specialized MBA programs that you can pick or you can go for general MBA as well. Having said that, majority of MBA colleges in India accept CAT scores. While few of them accept MAT and GMAT as well. XLRI conducts its own written entrance test called XAT. Depending on your choice of MBA, prepare for these examinations. Majority of these examinations have three broad sections, Quantitative abilities, Verbal Abilities and Logical reasoning. You will need to clear the cutoff in all three sections. (some exams will have just two sections). These examinations don't test your depth of knowledge, they test your breadth of knowledge as well as speed and accuracy. I would suggest you pick any good book and start practicing problems. Also enroll in some test series and take tests at regular intervals. If you devote 8-10 months seriously to this, I dont think you will need to worry about anything.
