Hi Ayushi,

Indian Insititute of Management (IIM) are the top institutes for MBA in India. There are 20 IIMs of which the old IIMs are listed in the top-most rank viz Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow, Kozhikode & Shillong. The new and baby IIM's are also doing well are at par with top b-schools in a very short span.

Apart from IIM's, there are colleges like FMS Delhi, NITIE, IIT's, IISc etc that accept CAT scores for admission to MBA course.

You need CAT necessarily for getting into IIM's but there are other top-tier colleges like Symbiosis, XLRI, TISS etc who conduct their own exams and those scores are valid for admissions in other colleges as well.

Here's a short list of important exams and a comprehensive list of colleges accepting those scores:

1. XAT: XLRI, XIMB, XIME, and various others

2. SNAP: SIBM, SCMHRD, SIOM, SIMS and all other colleges under symbiosis university.

4. NMAT by GMAC: NMIMS and few other colleges 

5. CET: State-level MBA entrance examination

6. MAT: entrance exams for colleges under AIMA

If you have work experience of at least 2 years, you can attempt for GMAT and with a score of 650+ you can apply for ISB Mohali and Hyderabad campus.

For a GLobal MBA, GMAT, and GRE both scores are valid but they need some work experience too.

Also, you have an option of pursuing MSc in Management (MiM) from foreign universities and is in great demand nowadays.
