Common Admission Test (CAT) is the most popular management aptitude test among candidates seeking admission to elite management colleges in India. The  Indian Institutes of Management  (IIMs) only accepts the percentile obtained by candidates in the  CAT  for their MBA programme. Apart from the IIMs, some other top business schools such as  FMS Delhi  , MDI Gurgaon,  IIFT Delhi  , SPJIMR, etc. accept only the scores of the CAT.

However, there are some MBA colleges in India that offers admission to their MBA programme without accepting the CAT scores. To get admission to these colleges, candidates are required to appear for the entrance examinations conducted by these institutions.
