The Indian Institute of Management(IIMs) conduct this exam every year for selecting students for their business administration programs. Almost every college consider CAT exam for admission. Its a computer based test held once in a year in the month of November. Link for list of the colleges accepting CAT scores and a brief information about CAT go through it.
