It is possible to pursue an MBA without taking any entrance exam. Some direct admission eligibility criteria to help you be accepted into MBA programs.

• Score at least 50%-65% aggregate in graduation.
• For the reserved category, there is relaxation.

In the final year of graduation, preparation for an MBA begins. The majority of management aspirants begin their preparation as soon as they begin their third year of their bachelor's degree programme because it takes months to properly prepare for MBA entrance exams. However, there are a lot of challenges in preparing for an MBA entrance exam, including the lengthy syllabus, the difficulty of the questions, and the degree of competition. 

Here are some suggestions to help you study for your MBA entrance exams:

• Study the fundamental grammatical and writing principles for the verbal segment to become familiar with the language's structure.
• To hone their quantitative abilities, students should complete a lot of practice exams and sample papers.
  Create a schedule and follow it
• Students should not overstress themselves and should get enough rest.

You can pursue Human Resources Management even if you're not into maths. HRM focuses on people management and organizational strategy rather than complex calculations. Basic quantitative skills are somewhat helpful. They are not the primary focus. Many HR roles involve soft skills like communication and problem-solving. 

I have tried to explain in detail below:

HRM Focus:

HRM is primarily concerned with managing employees, fostering a positive work environment, and aligning human resources with the overall business strategy. 

Role of Mathematics:

While some HR roles, like payroll or HR analytics, might involve data analysis and calculations, these are often supported by software and tools, and the focus remains on understanding and interpreting the data rather than complex mathematical calculations. 

Happy to help!
