Hello, 

  All the reputed  Institutes in India has eligibility criteria for MBA, students have to meet it before admission. General eligibility is that 50%(45% in the case of reserved category) marks in graduation from a recognized university and need to secure good percentile in national level entrance tests(CAT, MAT and CMAT, etc...) or admission seeking institutes entrance tests like LPUNEST, DSAT, XAT, and SNAP. My advice to you would be that try to improve the marks and then apply for an MBA. 

Hope this information will help you.

Good Luck!

You should have cleared anyone entrance test (such as CAT/MAT/XAT/NMAT/CMAT/GMAT/
NEST ) accepted by various colleges and you should also have minimum of 45% to 55% in your bachelors(any stream) for admission in the same. Admission in MBA is done via two modes- either through an entrance exam or direct admission which is based on merit basis or management quota basis.

Hi Anshika,

Well the choice of field in MBA is probably the best, as Finance is a field in demand as of 2018. But the minimum criteria for CAT is 50+ in graduation. So I would like to tell that you are not eligible for CAT.

But you can try giving SNAP, MAT, CMAT which do not require 50+ in graduation. This can be your way towards MBA in finance.

but you need to study harder and also perform well in GD and PI rounds so as to increase your chances of getting selected in MBA college.

Wish you all the best.

Hello Aspirant,


You can do MBA because basically there is a weight age given to your graduation scores, but there are many business schools have mandatory criteria that a candidate must score above 50%, there are various colleges that is the candidate must pass.

Alliance University

IFIM

Acharya university

ISBM

ITM

Kirloskar

Indus business academy


I hope this helps.

Hello Anshika,

The eligibility criteria for CAT examination is to hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Persons With Disability (PwD) categories]. Hence, you cannot apply for CAT and further for the colleges that accept only CAT score if you do not fulfill the above criteria.


Fortunately, there is no need to lose hope. There are other good examinations which do not consider graduation score as a part of selection process. These examinations are MAT and CMAT. To know more about the colleges accepting scores of these examinations, I suggest you to visit:

Good Luck.
