CAT

Hello!
Yes you can apply for CAT but I would suggest you to not make CAT as the only target, have a look over other options as well. There are many renowned B school which conduct their own entrance exam such as MAT XAT IIFT NMAT SNAP CMAT LPU NEST and few more. I have appeared for LPU NEST as well that is the entrance exam for Lovely Professional University. Whenever we talk about MBA institute, the first institute which comes in our mind is IIM, But what if I say it is not just IIM there are lot of other options as well. Most MBA aspirants target IIM, but what if you get best of the facilities in your reach. Punjab is the hub of education in India since last few years. Being a counselor I am listing few options. There are many top ranked MBA colleges in India which provide quality education. Few of the Best MBA colleges in Punjab are PTU, GNU, Lovely Professional University, Thapar, and few more. Now Question is how to decide which will give us quality education? MBA is not a classroom programme, it needs complete exposure. So I will list few factors which will help you to choose better. MBA College or University should have the following features:
1. Experienced and well qualified Faculty
2. National and International Exposure
3. Live Projects
4. Internship Assistance
5. Practical Based Teaching Pedagogy
6. Professional Enhancement
7. Infrastructure
8. Accreditation and Ranking
9. Entrepreneurship Training
10. Placements
I hope I have covered all the major points to be checked before choosing a MBA college. As per my experience, I would say LPU has all of these features which makes it among the Top MBA colleges in India. Many of my students have done MBA from LPU, also I am in touch with many of their Alumni's who are currently working in great companies at high positions. LPU has recently marked among Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020. Also, LPU has won National Employability Award 2020. Not just this The Business School of LPU is accredited from ACBSP, Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA. LPU is one of the top 5 universities of India, providing quality education, innovative pedagogy and unbeatable placements both national and international, even beating IIMS. I hope this helps. All the Best!

Hi, Iims take CAT scores. Yes this year also its the same. While some dynamic private players like LPU which is also ranked among top 50 B-Schools in the country by NIRF has tweaked its selection criteria, the eligibility this year has been increased to 55% in graduation and the entrance test has been done away with. A rigorous personal interview which is being held online is the flavor of the season. But for the MBA programme in collaboration with talented where you have a job offer on first day of joining the programme a psychometric test is also compulsory. However your good CAT/MAT/LPUNEST scores can get you scholarships upto 35% f the programme fee !
Hope this helps

Hi, An MBA programme gives you ample networking opportunities. This can help you make connections that will allow you to grow your current business. It can also give you the security of knowing you will have help and connections to a variety of companies and industries if you want to change careers. One of the best reasons to get an MBA is that you become more marketable to employers. Companies prefer hiring people who have earned MBAs because these students are usually better educated and positioned for roles in strategic thinking, problem-solving, and ambiguity management. An MBA programme provides experiential learning opportunities to help prepare and train students for the rigors and processes necessary to lead successful businesses. Below are the list of an MBA colleges:
1- IILM University, Gurugram
2- Apeejay college
3- Jagan Institute of Business Management
and many more. Hope this help!

1- IILM University, Gurugram
