There are quite a few Entrance examinations for MBA in India. Few of them are:

CAT: CAT is an online examination of 3 hours duration. To be eligible for CAT, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline with a minimum aggregate of 50%. It is 50% for General Category and 45% for Reserved Categories.

MAT: To be eligible for MAT, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline. There is no minimum aggregate criteria.

IIFT: To be eligible for IIFT, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline with a minimum aggregate of 50%. It is 50% for General Category and 45% for Reserved Categories.

SNAP: To be eligible for SNAP, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline with a minimum aggregate of 50%. It is 50% for General Category and 45% for Reserved Categories.

NMAT: To be eligible for NMAT, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline with a minimum aggregate of 50%. Candidates with a minimum of 2 years work experience are preferred.

CMAT: To be eligible for CMAT, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline. There is no minimum aggregate criteria.

So with less than 50%, you can appear for MAT and CMAT. But you need to score more than 95 percentile for a seat in top B School.

Hi Dear,

Yes, you can get admission in top B schools of India if you have more than 50% in your graduation. You can get into top B schools of India if you perform really well in CAT entrance exam and perform well in WAT and GD/PI rounds. However, You might face difficulties in getting into Top IIMs.
