Hi,
It is not necessary to write CAT to get an admission into MBA colleges.
- CAT is difficult and you can give MAT which is easy as compared to CAT and has good placements.
- Requires a lot of patience, time and energy. MAT, SNAP and IBSAT are exams which are easier and require less patience, time and energy as compared to CAT.
- IIMs are not the end of the world.
- There is a lack of required courses at IIMs.
- CAT is not the only option.
Till a few years back, CAT was the only exam that MBA aspirants aimed at but with so many other management exams coming into light, CAT might just be losing its sheen amongst such aspirants.
