GMAT

No, not for full-time MBA.

Hello Prakriti,
As far as I've heard, one can take GMAT as per one's convenience. The CAT notification has been released yesterday, kindly check on their official site. For other exams, there are no notifications as of now especially of SNAP, CMAT and XAT (they are held in Dec-Jan).

Hi,
This is perhaps the best time. Try to take the test by Sept. If you are planning to study abroad then you must submit your applications by Oct/Nov depending on the university or country you are applying to.

The CAT entrance exam is a national entrance exam acceptable in India only.
For CAT coaching in Mumbai - refer https://www.growthcentre.org/cat-coaching-classes/
The GMAT entrance exam is accepted by universities in the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore and many European countries.
For GMAT coaching - refer to https://www.growthcentre.org/gmat-coaching-classes/
Obviously, GMAT has more weightage because it is internationally recognised by thousands of universities in the world.

Hi Harman,
It is best if you sit for your GMAT test.
Some Australian universities such as Macquarie University does not list having a GMAT score as one of their admission requirements - they need minimum two years of professional experience
But universities like University of New South Wales and University of Melbourne require a GMAT score. It depends on the university.
Check each university's requirement - and how much is their cut-off score.

XAT exam is for Xavier's colleges in India, especially for XLRI, Jamshedpur. It is amongst India's top 5 colleges. GMAT is the exam to get admission in top MBA colleges. There are few top colleges in India accepting XAT and GMAT.

Hello Esh,
GMAT is after graduation and before admission for MBA. 1-year Diploma is independent of it. Also it's good to know your dream of studying in US or Canada. But these are really specialised issues and there are many nuances. I would therefore advise you to go to agency providing these services in your town.
