Yes, you can pursue an MBA at MDI Gurgaon without a CAT score, but you must meet certain requirements. MDI provides other pathways, including the GMAT (for international students or individuals with job experience) and the GRE. They also consider people with various career experiences and academic achievements. However, the CAT remains the most popular entrance exam for Indian students, and while it is not required for all, admittance via other tests may be more competitive. If you're thinking about this option, make sure your application stands out with a good profile that includes professional experience, academic brilliance, and personal accomplishments. 

Yes, you can join the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) without taking the CAT exam, but only under certain conditions. FMS typically admits students based on CAT scores, but it also evaluates candidates with extraordinary qualifications in specific fields. For example, if you have extensive professional experience, have succeeded academically, or are a great achiever in a particular sector, you may be eligible to apply under the institute's non-CAT candidate criteria. However, this is unusual, and the CAT exam remains the conventional road to admission. Keep a watch on FMS releases, since admission standards may alter or include particular provisions based on the most recent revisions.
