Every IIM accepts CAT score and then proceed it's application process. So, there's no chance of getting directly admitted in any of the IIMs without appearing in CAT for MBA.

All the best !

Thank-you

I am not sure if I want to be admitted to MIT-WPU Pune for MBA. One of my friends suggested me to take admission in a good government college. While searching I found IIM Lucknow. what to do? MIT-WPU or IIM Lucknow?

Hi!

MIT-WPU and IIM Lucknow are quite different institutions offering the MBA programme. While MIT-WPU is a private university offers an MBA through its WPU School of Business, IIM Lucknow is a public institution established by the Government of India, and is recognised as the 'Institute of National Importance' . Getting admission to the MBA programme of IIM Lucknow is comparatively more difficult than getting admission in MIT-WPU .

However, given below are some of the points of differentiation between MIT-WPU and IIM Lucknow based on which you can make a decision:

  • Exam Accepted : IIM Lucknow accepts the scores of CAT for its flagship MBA programme while MIT-WPU accepts the scores of various entrance examinations such as CAT, XAT , NMAT, GMAT, PERA, CMAT , MAH-CET, and MAT.
  • Selection Process : IIM Lucknow selection process includes appearance in the CAT followed by the Written Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interview (PI) while the selection process of MIT-WPU include appearance in any of the entrance examination followed by Group Discussion (GD)/ Extempore, and Personal Interaction (PI).
  • Specialisations Offered : MIT-WPU offers MBA in 11 different specialisations while IIM Lucknow offers only PGP/ PGP ABM/ PGP SM, and MBA Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
  • Fees : The annual fees charged by MIT-WPU for its MBA programme is Rs. 4,55,000 while the programme fees for the MBA programme charged by IIM Lucknow is approximately Rs. 20,00,000.
  • Placements : The placement opportunities offered at IIM Lucknow is far better than placements at MIT-WPU.

You might consider other factors as well according to your wish. But the conclusion is that IIM Lucknow is better option than MIT-WPU . But you need to score an exceptional percentile in CAT to get admission to the MBA programme offered at IIM Lucknow.
