No, you cannot join Jindal Global Business School without an entrance exam if you want admission to the MBA course. For admission to the management courses, the institute accepts various national-level exams, like

Students who attain qualifying percentiles for these exams are eligible for admission to the MBA (provided they clear the GD and PI rounds). Different exams will have different cutoffs. For eg., the XAT, CAT and MAT cutoff was 50. For more information, click here

Yes, LPU generally accepts valid MAT scores for the admission cycle. Since CAT/MAT is optional, you can also apply without it.

MAT is overall an easy exam, but if you compare the sections, usually the Quantitative Aptitude is considered tougher than rest of the four sections, due to calculation intensive questions.

All the MAT sections have same weightage, i.e. 30 questions and 30 marks. So candidates must keep in mind to prepare each section properly and poor performance in one section can affect overall score.

To get into Anna University for the MBA/PGDM course, students would need to appear in the accepted exam, like CAT, MAT, and TANCET. 

  • Students who appear in the CAT or MAT exam would need to attain a valid percentile, and only then are they eligible for the next round of admission, which involves GD, PI, and WAT. 
  • For the TANCET exam, valid ranks are needed, and then participants have to take part in the counselling process to get a seat.
