Hi Divya,
                Yes definitely. Except CAT you have couple of exams in your hand - XAT, NMAT, TISSNET, MAT, CAT, GMAT, TISSNET etc. After graduation you should crack one of those & can purse MBA. But without cracking any exam, aslo you can do MBA. Many universities offers direct admission in their MBA program. But yes you can't expect much from these colleges. It's obvious when you're taking any exam, it will not be in the top 50 B-Schools.

  • Here are the list of colleges take direct admission in MBA :

  • School of Inspired Leadership, Gurgaon
  • Amity University (all campuses)
  • Birla global University, bhubaneswar
  • School of Management & entrepreneurship, shiv Nagar University, Greater noida
  • GIBS Bangalore
  • Bennett University, Greater noida Delhi ncr

There has also many private colleges in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bangalore & other states; takes direct direct admission via management quota for MBA.

HI,

Most MBA aspirants would be aware that the CAT score is a compulsory requirement for the IIMs

For MBA In IIMS CAT score is compulsory requirement and CAT score is also accepted by top bschools

20 IIMs only accept scores of CAT. The exam is held by IIMs in last week of November or first week of December.


IF you dont want to appear for CAT EXAM 

PGDM B-schools have option to accept any of the OTHER national tests: , XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA or GMAT.ETC

and also each state wil have their respective state level exam for admission in their respective state colleges


GOOD LUCK
